The UK junior golf season is well and truly underway, and with summer shaping up to be a cracking one, now is the perfect time to make sure your young golfer is kitted out properly. The right clothing doesn't just look smart on the course — it can genuinely improve comfort, focus, and performance across an 18-hole round.
Here's our guide to dressing your junior golfer for the summer months ahead.
Trousers or Shorts? Know When to Wear What
One of the most common questions we get is whether to go for trousers or shorts. The honest answer? Both have their place in a junior golfer's wardrobe.
On warm, sunny days, Junior Golf Shorts in Blue, Black, or Grey are the obvious choice. They allow full freedom of movement through the swing and keep young players cool during long rounds. Most clubs accept tailored golf shorts, so they're a versatile option throughout the summer.
That said, there are days — particularly early morning tee times or breezy links courses — where a smart pair of trousers is the better call. Our Junior Golf Trousers in Grange Grey and Park Black are lightweight and breathable, making them comfortable even on warmer days. We also stock them in Blue and Grey for plenty of colour options to suit every junior golfer's style.
For girls, our Annika Golf Skort in Pink, Grey and Navy offer a stylish and practical alternative — combining the look of a skirt with the comfort of built-in shorts underneath.
The Right Polo Shirt Makes All the Difference
A breathable polo shirt is the cornerstone of any junior golfer's summer outfit. Look for lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics that pull sweat away from the skin and dry quickly — essential when your junior is working hard on the course.
For boys, our Gianni Boys' Golf Polo in White, Red, and Blue Striped are perennial favourites — smart enough for any club, comfortable enough for a full round. The Noren Grey or Navy Golf Polo Shirt in a comfortable jersey feel fabric is another brilliant option, offering a clean, classic look that works across all course types.
For girls, we have polo shirts in Pink, Grey, White, and Mint as well as the above Noren Polo Shirts— all designed with junior golfers in mind.
Don't Overlook Sun Protection
Summer golf means more time in the sun, and protecting young skin should be a priority. Beyond sunscreen, the right accessories can make a big difference.
A good golf cap keeps the sun out of your junior's eyes and off their face during a round. Our Small Golf Cap for Kids and Large Golf Cap for Kids are lightweight and adjustable — ideal for keeping young players comfortable from the first tee to the 18th green.
It might seem like an odd summer recommendation, but a Golf Snood is genuinely useful on cooler summer mornings or on exposed coastal courses where the wind picks up. It can be worn around the neck and pulled up quickly when needed — a versatile bit of kit that earns its place in the bag year-round.
Layer Up for Early Morning Rounds
Even in summer, early morning tee times in the UK can be surprisingly chilly. A thin base layer worn under the polo shirt is the smartest way to manage this — it adds warmth without bulk, and can be removed easily once the temperature rises.
Our Junior Golf Base Layer is designed specifically for young golfers, offering a close fit that doesn't interfere with the swing. It's a small investment that makes a big difference to comfort across the full round.
The Golden Rule: Breathable / Comfortable Fabrics
Whatever combination of clothing you choose for your junior golfer this summer, the most important thing is to prioritise breathable, and comfortable technical fabrics. Modern golf fabrics are engineered to keep players cool, dry, and comfortable — and that's exactly what you'll find across the everyshotcounts range.
A junior golfer who's comfortable in their clothing is a junior golfer who can focus on what matters most: enjoying the game and making every shot count.
