After going to the range and hitting a few balls, I realized that although golf is a total “finesse” sport and doesn’t require loads of strength (good for my petite, no-muscle frame) it’s probably one of the hardest sports to pick up with the zillion do’s and don’ts on how to swing, position the club, move your hips, yada, yada, yada. So I looked up an instructor and ever since I’ve been totally hooked.
 
Don’t let the standing around and golf carts fool you. If done properly, golf is a huge workout for your waist and arms. Eighteen holes takes about four to five hours to play so that’s time outside consistently spent walking around on miles and miles of beautiful green. Oh, and have you ever tried to carry a full bag of clubs? But if ya do decide to pick it up or putt a few holes already, make sure you keep in your regular fitness regiment. Golfing doesn’t help much in the upping your heart rate dept.
 
Also, there’s no age requirement to play. There’s an 8-year-old boy that has insane driving skills at the range I frequent, and one time my instructor pointed out a 10-year-old girl nearby who I should be looking to for pointers and tips. And on the flipside, my 50-something dad loves it just as much, too.
 
But my absolute fave part about golfing? The A-dorable accessories. I know, I know, it should be about the sport and getting some daily activity, but I totally can’t help it! You have cute socks for your irons, woods and drivers, colorful golf bags (and clubs!) and there’s totally a dress code on the field—preppy polos, Bermudas and tennis skirts.
 
So when the peeps over at kerigolf.com sent over some sweet goodies to jazz up my golf gear, I just had to test out a few. Here’s my  picks:
 
-This li’l number totally makes you stand out on the field. And if you look fab, it can only improve your game, right? With all the usual compartments for clubs and tees, it’s also got snazzy insulated storage to keep munchies and water cool.
 
-What’s a bag without the matching headcovers to boot? Hee. If you’re a total pro, ya know these guys are essential for keeping your clubs in tippy-top shape and free from scratches. If ya need ‘em, ya might as well opt for cute and colorful!
 
Sports and super-cute style? Count me in.
