FOR ATTIRE

Peter Millar

Pros like Brandt Snedeker have long worn Millar’s signature layered look on the course, for good reason. Stock up on the brand’s sophisticated micro-print collared polos, quarter-zip sweaters, and performance shorts at the Seaport store, and you, too, will be sure to turn heads even when you’re not yelling “fore!” Seaport, petermillar.com.

Golf Galaxy

Sun protection is paramount when hitting a good round of golf—after all, no one wants to deal with glare on the course. Pick your poison: a hat or a visor. Golf Galaxy in Framingham has both in spades, from brands including Bad Birdie, Waggle Golf, Adidas, and Black Clover.

True Spec Golf

It’s not a successful round of golf if you don’t have the optimal clubs. Seasoned golfers in need of a new set would do well to drop by this Waltham spot, where experts will spend time analyzing your swing to help design a custom set that’ll send your balls the farthest. For $475, you can get fitted for the full bag plus putter—clubs are extra, of course.
