PERFORMANCE WITH STYLE – MEN’S SUMMER GOLF FASHION

By ED TRAVIS Playing golf in the summer when temperatures are high and maybe so is the humidity calls for clothing that helps keep you cool but there’s no reason it can’t be cool-looking too. The California Golf staff likes stylish tops and bottoms that are both plus those that can be worn at other times such as off the course when a unique leisure look is appropriate. Shoes and accessories are important to, so we have included them with these summertime items we like.

True OG Feel Reflect Camo Golf Shoes

The Camo series is brand new from True and features the OG Feel that makes all of their shoes popular. The series included four colors and each features a breathable sock-fit knit upper with flexible outsole and an all-leather saddle that laces to give more stability.
