Do you wear an undershirt when you play?

Never, no way. Nothing worse than cotton when it gets wet / sweaty / clammy. Cotton is a terrible material for hot, humid weather. Awful.

Especially with the modern dri-fit-type fibers, an undershirt makes me terribly uncomfortable.

Adaptive Golf.....look out for the one-armed man:

I've never understood the whole t-shirt under golf shirt thing, especially now with all the new performance fabrics. Putting a tight-a$$ cotton tee underneath makes no sense. I've seen some guys wear those compression T's underneath. Not sure what benefit those are...My goal is to always wear as little as possible for the weather conditions. My logic is always the less I have on, the freer my swing. On a summer day in Kentucky, a cotton undershirt is tantamount to wearing a straight jacket! :lol:

I never do here in SoCal not even in the winter. I use shirts from Addidas, Under Armour, etc. that use wicking frabrics and allow good air flow. And when layering I layer over not under my shirts.

I prefer not to wear one and in fact usually don't. I wear nothing but Adidas climacool shirts but I'm a little self conscious sometimes because of well....they're a little thin (as they should be) and that means they tend to show the nips a little too prominently. I'm not sure all my playing partners like the view or at least I hope they don't. Also, I have a couple of white climacool's and they are even worse and are a little bit on the see-through side of things. How do you all deal with this?

I do, even in the hot Arizona summer, if only to absorb the sweat and prevent myself from looking like a fat guy and boot camp.

Dito! I live in Houston. Its 90+ degrees with 90+ humidity here June-Sept. You sweat going from the front door to the driveway. I dont care what kind of moisture wicking shirt I wear. If I dont have on an undershirt here, Im gonna have a wet shirt.

I wear an undershit under everything I wear. On the golf course is no different. It feels wierd for me to not wear one. I have also been told that wearing an undershirt underneath actually keeps you cooler.

I've got to hear the logic behind this one....so, adding in another layer of fabric will keep you cooler? You do realize that thing that keeps you cool is a combination of 2 different things:

1) Moisture wicking properties: When the shirt is able to wick moisture in all different directions, it thins out the moisture on the shirt and evaporates more quickly. That evaporation effect gives the body the sensation of "cooling".

2) Airflow.


When you wear an undershirt (especially cotton, which is a fiber that is hydrophilic, meaning that it likes moisture and wants to absorb it instead of wick it), you accomplish neither of those.

I wear a "wife beater" under every shirt no matter what. Golf Shirts, T-Shirts, Dress Shirts.

I should look for one that isn't cotton.

Can wear long sleeves under a golf shirt but i could never see wearing a short sleeve shirt under a golf shirt.

Looks pretty silly seeing the neck also.

This looks like a good option:

I got a bunch of the champion performance knit sleeveless shirts at Target and wear those under my golf shirts. They're very light weight and the with the sleeveless I don't get that constricted feeling I got with a regular cotton t shirt. I guess if sweaty arm pits is your problem these may not be the best solution but fortunately for me I don't have that problem. You can pick them up for like 7 bucks or something in a bunch of different colors.

I will sometime were a performance underlayer beneath my collared golf shirt if it is cold out (in the high 30's or so). Otherwise it is just me and my Dri-Fit polo.
