Ninety percent of how you play is how you look.

That’s my belief anyway. Thankfully, FootJoy’s new spring collection is helping with that mantra.

I’ve always been a fan of FootJoy shoes – I mean, they have the word ‘foot’ right there in the name – but over the last couple of seasons, they’ve been releasing some fine apparel options as well.

Golf apparel is a competitive category, no doubt about it. You obviously have industry kingpins like Nike and adidas leading the charge, but how often are you seeing brands like Travis Matthew, J. Lindeberg and Under Armor on some of the worlds best? There’s certainly a lot of fashionable options out there for golfers, along with the long-standing performance brands too.

For FootJoy, they’ve tried hard to trend in the middle of performance and fashion. And frankly, it’s a good spot to be.

This spring there will be four different collections for FootJoy’s ‘performance’ golf apparel collection (available at golf retailers across Canada). A press release distributed by FootJoy says the spring collection “features contemporary colours and patterns in a variety of style and performance fabrics.”

Marco: All-American style with classic nautical blue, red and white solids and stripes

Sonoma: Brilliant combination of graphite blue, silver and chrome yellow in a variety of traditional designs

Charleston: Bold orchid, navy and white prints that ‘guarantee’ you’ll be exuding stylish confidence

Vineyard: Contemporary blue, black and khaki colours that extends your golf style to help fit your daily lifestyle.
