Best Golf Shirts for Spring in Australia
Share
Spring in Australia means warmer days, longer afternoons and more time on the golf course.
But with the weather warming up, choosing the right golf shirt becomes about more than just looking good. When you’re outside for four or five hours, comfort, breathability and sun protection all matter.
What should you look for?
- UPF 50+ sun protection
For Australian golfers, sun protection should be high on the list.
A long-sleeved golf shirt with a UPF 50+ rating provides excellent protection for the skin covered by the shirt. Look for garments tested to the Australian standard, AS 4399:2020, rather than simply relying on a “UV protection” claim.
- Lightweight and breathable
Long sleeves don’t have to mean overheating.
A lightweight, breathable fabric can keep you comfortable as the temperature rises, while moisture-wicking properties can help when you’re working up a sweat on the course.
- Plenty of stretch
Your golf shirt needs to move with you.
A fabric with some stretch makes a big difference through your swing, particularly around the shoulders and arms. A relaxed fit can also give you plenty of room to move without feeling baggy.
- Something you actually want to wear
Sun-safe golf clothing doesn’t need to be boring.
There are plenty of options now that combine proper sun protection with colours, patterns and designs that actually look at home on the golf course.
Our pick for spring
That’s exactly what we had in mind when we created Breakfast Ball.
Our long-sleeved golf shirts are UPF 50+ and tested to AS 4399:2020, made from a lightweight 90% polyester and 10% spandex fabric with plenty of stretch.
From the more understated Levels to the brighter Aloha Hibiscus and Mixed Bag, they’re designed to keep you comfortable and covered without sacrificing your style.
Support Australian golf businesses
It’s great to see more Australian businesses creating products for golfers.
Redback Sport is one worth checking out, with a huge range of golf accessories from headcovers and ball markers to umbrellas and cleaning products.
It’s always good to support businesses that genuinely love the game and are helping grow the Australian golf community.
And remember, your shirt is only part of staying sun safe. Sunscreen, a good hat, sunglasses and finding some shade are all still important when you’re spending the day outside.
Spring golf is calling — make sure you’re dressed for it.
