July 19, 2012 – As an amateur golfer you will feel committed to your game, and you’ll always try to hit your best shot. And if you are committed to your game, you probably are also with your material. But it’s not only about finding suitable golf clubs, and the ball that works for you. If you’re committed to your golf, you need to take your golfwear seriously too, and perhaps one of the items which gets least attention is golf slacks.

“Anything goes,” you might think lightly, but … is that really true? Professionals will tell you it isn’t, and that it is essential to use apparel that you can trust if you want to feel comfortable on the course. They use technical slacks specially designed for golf. So, at MyGolfWay.com, we have tested the Ned slacks by Galvin Green, the prestigious Swedish brand well known on the international circuit, which supplies amateur golfers with garments that are trusted by the Tour pros.

Galvin Green has an extensive line of golf pants for men in its Spring / Summer 2012 Collection (Ned, Neville, Nash, Neil, Nathan, Newcomb, Norwood, Newlyn and Noel), shorts (Phil Parker and Patrick) and Bloomers (Preston); and for women it offers pants (Nea), pirates (Noreen) and skorts (Nova and Neela). The garments are smooth, checked and striped, and easily combinable with other garments for the upper body. Ned is an attractive design made with Ventil8 fabrics, known for its breathability, and for being light and cool.

So, after a couple of rounds on the golf course with the Galvin Green Ned slacks, I’ve become even more convinced that it is necessity to wear technical apparel for golf, for our legs too. These are my notes:

• The feel of the fabric is great.
• Offers maximum comfort.
• The stretch waist makes it easy to get the right size, and it fits better at the waist, without restricting mobility.
• As it is made of a stretch fabric, it allows you to swing without any feeling of tightness, and gives you freedom to turn back and forth in the swing.

In any case these are great garments, highly recommended.
