Golf Clothing – Carin Koch

It's all very well celebrities trying to give kudos to golf clothing and fashion, but if you want the real deal, Carin Koch is golf's It-girl.

Stylish golf clothing

You can't move for celebrities swinging their golf clubs, gracing the fairways in stylish golf clothing, exuding glamour and style. If they're not playing in a celebrity tournament than they are designing their own golf clothing and accessories or getting some of the world's top designers to do it for them. And if they're not designing golf clothing, they're modelling it. It's remarkable they get any time to practice at the driving range.

Professional golfer

But one professional golfer who manages to play the game and exude that same celebrity glamour and style, without hailing from Hollywood is Carin Koch. She is famous for her golf, not for being a movie star or rock musician. And no wonder – she can play flat out. But she has become the LPGA It-girl precisely because she is the perfect package – yes she plays great golf, but she also looks fashionable in golf clothing and has brains. In fact, her beauty has led her to pose in golf clothing for fashion giant Polo Ralph Lauren.

Hollywood allure

Her love of fashion goes beyond golf clothing however.

“If I hadn't become a tour pro, I would have loved to be a hairstylist or makeup artist,” Koch told Golf for Women magazine. “Many of my pals on tour have been victims of my makeovers - I like to bring out that extra something in people.”

Fuddy-duddy golf clothing

Koch's role models when she was growing up were not the golfers in their fuddy-duddy golf clothing – the tank tops and khakis – but the glam, colourful pop stars from Abba. She rates Jennifer Aniston as a style icon and her own clothing on and off the golf course is fashionably informed. Her panache in golf clothing is down to the fact she sees her role as being an entertainer, not just an athlete. She seems smitten with Hollywood , even if she doesn't hail from LA.

“I love to watch events like the Academy Awards and dream about what it would be like to be that glamorous,” she said. “All those beautiful dresses...”

Of course, wearing Oscar-winning evening gowns on the golf course could never be a practicality. Golf clothing has to be functional, but as Koch proves, it doesn't have to be mundane or unglamorous.
