Golf Day 2!

It was the most beautiful day.  Blue skies and perfect temperatures.  Golf course were packed with people.  It was a good day to be a golfer.  My swing started to feel better.  I played the forward tees and shot a -1 71. One under feels so much better.  The courses is a little short from the front tees but it is good to play a comfortable distance when restarting.  The courses was incredible shape.  Walking down the first hole I was so happy. The grass felt so good under my feet.  I enjoyed seeing all the blooms and leaves coming to the trees.  Finally felt like spring with light winds and temperatures in the 70s.  You would have never known that yesterday we had over a inch a rain.  Didn't even need to roll the ball in the fairways.

The greatest social distancing contraption ever

Because of the new normal with COVID-19, golf has social distancing measures.  Golf is a great social distancing sport but it still needs some help.  I walk like always but we cannot touch things. The video show the ball release contraption.  I have seen the noodles cut and put in the hole but this is the first time I saw the pull retriever.  

Now on to the outfit...


So today I decided to show some leg for the first time.  I remember to add the sunscreen. I chose school spirit for today's round.  I work at East Stroudsburg University and the school's colors are red and black. 

The top is a red Antigua shirt.  I am not a red fan on me.  I just feel like red makes me stand out too much.  It looks great on Tiger Woods and I am glad it is his thing.  Red is not my thing.  I got the shirt at Indiana Country Club after winning a golf outing.  The event was at the end of the season and there was not much to choose from in the pro shop.  Retail the shirt would be approximately $40-$60.  The shirt is a simple cut women's polo with color and buttons.  A basic golf shirt.  I would not normally pick the shirt out but did due to having to use the shop credit I bought it.  I honestly rarely wear the shirt.  The shirt is comfortable and easy to breathe with Antigua's version of wicking material. I go a size small. I typically wear it tucked in but can be worn not tucked.  The shirt is two years old.  Fun fact about the outing that day, there was a partial solar eclipse that occurred at the end of the round.  The tournament gave us glasses to view the eclipse.  The sky was such a unique color. 

My pullover is a Under Armour pullover.  The logo is the ESU with Warrior.  The shirt is not the typical wicking material you associate Under Amour but cotton. The shirt is so soft. I love the feeling.  I wanted the pullover for work to wear to games because it is black.  I waited until it went on sale.  Last summer I got the pullover with another tank at a buy one get one free event in the school bookstore.  The bonus of the pullover is I can wear it to play golf.  The pullover is a size small.  I think it is the perfect length.  Not too long and not too short.  The pullover is light weight and great for days like today.  The pullover was off as soon as we started moving but I needed it at the end of the round when the sun started dipping. 

The bottom is a yoga skort by Soybu.  Soybu is not a golf clothing company but the skorts move so well.  Soybu is active wear so you know the skort will move well on the course.  The size I have on is a medium.  It depends on the skort which size I would get.  I have a couple of Soybu skorts and they are a mixture of small and medium.  The skort does not have pockets which is a major drawback but I still love it and wear it all the time.  I got the skort at TJ Maxx for $19.99 two or three years ago.  The price was great. I thought I would add a pocket after watching a video on how to add a pocket but never have.  I put my tees in my ponytail a lot of times anyway so I do not use a pocket a lot.  My ball marker is typically the clip on my hat.  I also like wearing this skort because I do not have to worry it is too short.  I typically play at a country club with some clothing etiquette rules.  I do not have to worry about that with this skort. If you bought the skort directly for Soybu it would cost your between $50-$60.  The bargain hunter that I am, typically found Soybu at TJ Maxx for under $20.  I do think after time the skort is showing wear over time but not enough for me to pull it out of rotation.

Last but not least my hat.  I totally forgot my hat yesterday.  Today I wore a red Under Armour hat that is women's cut.  The team I am support is Field Hockey.  The team gave me the hat as a welcome gift last year when I first started my job.  Again I would not typically choose a red hat but who am I to say no to support a team?  I prefer the women's cut hat.  They sit so nicely and do not cover my ears.  

Tomorrow is day 3 of golf!  Another beautiful sunny day ahead.  I think there will be more leg out there.
