In May 2025, many of us have decided to participate in the 30-Day Golf Coach4aday Challenge. Each day the goal is to share something about a particular golf course, golf equipment, or to actually get on the course and play a few holes. Golf is the only sport where you can be furious, humbled, and ecstatic—all in the span of one hole, and still call it “relaxing.” It’s a game where you are cajoling and chasing a tiny ball into a gopher hole. For many it becomes a lifelong obsession and an excuse to buy outrageous pants and the latest driver.
Today my golf observation is on golf ATTIRE a hundred years ago.
This challenge will not be for everybody but there are plenty that enjoy the game despite not being anywhere close to playing at a high level. That includes me.
Golf 30-Day Challenge Guidelines
As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. If you can, commit to getting out on the golf course—but if that’s not in the cards, share a story about a favorite course or a piece of gear you love (or love to hate).
- Record something about your day on the course or talk about a golf course or piece of equipment.
- Share with a challenge partner if you have one.
- Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge
Day 21-Attire
If you were to go back in time to the year 1925 you might find the attire of golfers a little stuffy and restrictive. In 1925, golfers typically wore knickerbockers (plus fours), long socks, collared shirts, and flat caps or newsboy hats, reflecting a formal and refined style. Wool or tweed jackets and ties were common, emphasizing elegance and propriety on the golf course.
If you needed a checklist for a day on the links 100 years ago the list from the Grey Journal would help.
