Who’s Your Caddy?

Shi Golf Clothing

Double standard #467: Even in a pastel polo and poncey hat, a man’s sex appeal on the golf course is directly proportionate to his handicap.

But at least women have a right to choose something other than culottes — now that local clothing line Shi Golf has hit the links.

The dresses, tops, and bottoms are traditional enough to accommodate stuffy club rules though still super cute. The crew-neck sweater goes from work to Interbay with ease, the V-neck vest was made for sipping Arnold Palmers, and the low-waist dress says you’re way too discerning to diddle the pro.

The clothes are made from ultra-breathable fabrics, which means they’re almost as soft and body conscious as cashmere.

So don’t burn your sports bra just yet.

Available at Olive, 23535 Northeast Novelty Hill Road, suite d308, Redmond (425-836-4298); online at shi-golf.com.
