Golf skirt, hat, bag and club covers





About a year ago on Mother's Day my husband got me a set of golf clubs. Now, my husband has been playing ever since we have been married and has wanted me to play with him. I personally could not stand the game. 

My only experience with golfing was when I was in my 20's I worked for a convention agency who would hire girls to model or host certain events. Most of the time we would go to Tampa, Key West, Ft. Lauderdale or Orlando to their hugest hotels and set up casino nights. We would man the blackjack tables and would have to dress up in sexy formal dresses . Sometimes we would work at theme parks, like Bush Gardens or Disney. One time, we had to dress up in Southern bell dresses with the hoops. Now that was an experience trying to sit down or go to the bathroom. That skirt just did not fit in the tiny stall. Oh me oh my. 

One time at Disney we were asked to dress up in shorts and drive a golf cart with beverages to each of the holes where men were playing golf. It was very hot and I really didn't like it. 
After I got my clubs, which of course were pink, I decided to make golf club covers for all of my clubs. I didn't personally like the standard ones that you could buy online. So this is what I liked. My clubs are from the wilson hope collection. I hope to one day get a better set, but this set has worked beautifully for me as a starter set. I cannot tell you how many hours I have spent in the back yard practicing. I not naturally gifted in sports so it takes  me a lot longer than most gals to learn to hit a ball. 

So I started with trying to make club covers for my irons.. After several attempts I got the right fit for these clubs. I machine embroidered the correct number for each club. About 6 months later I wanted to make a bag to carry all my stuff with me. I also made the light pink golf outfit...the logo on the skirt and top says pink is the new green. Then just yesterday I wanted to make a new golf skirt since I have put on a little more weight this year and that is the purple check shown above. I also decided to make a matching visor and golf shoe bag. Anyone that knows me knows that I like to match and also  love any shade of pink or purple.

All this may not make me play better, but I sure feel better with it. There's something about pink that makes me feel good.
