Except for the crocs, that could be either awesome or really disturbing, depending on a few factors.

Where I live now the ranges are not very upscale so I usually just wear shorts and a t-shirt. When I lived in Florida I used a range that was at a course so I dressed like I would for a round of golf (golf shirt, golf shorts or golf pants).

Shorts or golf trousers, SS golf shirt and golf shoes - pretty much the same as the course.  I once tried a normal shirt and couldn't swing my arms properly so it's dri-fit all the time now.

Haha i only clicked on this because i knew there would be some awesome answers. Didn't disappoint.

On a serious note, i can't stand hitting balls without golf shoes on. The idea is to practice as if playing. Same reason i won't hit off of mats unless it's required during winter. Really get nothing out of it.

Shorts, all different types, pants when it's cold
Polo with a collar, cotton, polyester, whatever
Usually wear flip flops or tennis shoes to the range but always put on golf shoes as I only hit from the grass area

I hate it when people set up next to me, but I don't want to look like a poser.  I also have to decide how I'm going to hit the ball that day so I dress as to not call attention to myself in the event my outfit doesn't fit my ballstriking that day.  It really is confusing, and I had so many outfits my wife didn't have room in the closet.

Anyway, to save space in the closet, keep people away from me when I am practicing, and to make sure I hit the ball better than my outfit so as to not draw sneers from my fellow participants I now wear; small nylon running shorts with a Nike Dri-fit tank top, ala a Kenyan marathoner.  I am afraid to wear the wrong hat, so I go with a Terry Porter headband.  On my feet I prefer my camouflage chuck taylors, but if they are stinky (and they do get stinky), I rotate in my Air Jordans circa 1985.  When I play on the course I wear FJ, but I don't want to look like a poser on the range.  Tube socks with multi-colored stripes around the top are my go to socks.

Anyway, if you see me, please don't set up next to me... thanks.

Anything I darn well please.  Be it t-shirt and shorts, golf shirt and shorts, shirts tucked sometimes, sometimes not, whatever.  I always wear golf shoes.  In AZ it's not too often when long pants are needed.

We now have a local super nice resort course that changed the dress code to: "come as you are"  Sedona Golf Resort.  A very nice course, high end, expensive and you can wear anything you darn well please.  Really......you cares what you wear to the course.  As bad as the economy is more courses should be doing this.  Just 6 months ago this course sent a friend of mine to the local store to buy a collared shirt.  The ones in the shop were way too expensive for him, there's an outlet mall nearby so he went there instead.  No longer would he need to do that...........come as you are!!

The golf shirt I have that has massive sweat stains and discolorations. I also wear gym shorts because for some reason I am never at the range for a short period of time and am capable of a massive "midsection" sweat that looks like I peed laying down on my back.

Generally if I know I wont be playing a round or 9 holes I'll just wear some comfy gym or sweat shorts and a tee or hoody. Always wear golf shoes though, just doesn't feel right to me hitting in anything else.

on the public range (no course in it), it's whatever I'm wearing at the time.
but the course I play at (private), requires collared shirt and pants/shorts.  No t-shirt or jeans..which is fine because likely I'm either warming up or just got off the course.
Although, I did see one member at the range on bare feet (this is off the grass and not mat).

Golf shorts and a polo. That's only because I usually play 9 holes right after I hit the range.

Oh, sometimes I'll wear this too, if I'm feeling classy, but I always make sure to cut holes in the shirt for my nips, don't want any chafing during my 7 hour range sessions!

Jeans, jean shirt and jean jacket (all untucked of course).

When I arrive home after the range I immediately strip off in the hallway and shout 'TALC' to my wife, who then applies the comforting substance to my chaffed areas around my shnot.

close the thread, we're done here! :cheesy:

Fair enough if its a range at a club but if its just a normal two tier bad boy I think wearing golf clothes to that is not a good look!  But thats just an opinion. I wear what I would wear to uni or whatever....

I choose my outfit based on what day I'm at the range.
Day - pants/polo - headgear - clubs
Monday - Black/grey - JL - JL black - Vega
Tuesday - Green/white - RLX - Titleist white - Titleist
Wednesday - Black/orange - Puma - Puma black - Cobra
Thursday - White/blue - Oakley - Titleist white - Titleist
Friday - Navy/navy - Adidas - TaylorMade white - TaylorMade
Saturday - Black/blue - Nike - Nike black - Nike
Sunday - Black/red - TW apparel - Nike black - Nike

Of course, If I'm also playing 18, I wear normal outfits.
Just wonna make sure people recognize me as soon as I step on the practice tee. I like to instill fear.
