The HerKentucky Guide to the PGA Championship, Part 1: What to Wear

The 2014 PGA Championship is being held at Valhalla Golf Club this week. Here in Louisville, the event is on everyone's minds: the city welcomes golf fans and tourists, while many Kentuckians make plans to attend or help out with the tournament.

Bob and I took in the practice rounds at Valhalla on Monday, and had a blast! We also came up with a few pointers for HerKentucky readers who'll be attending the matches this week, which I'll share with y'all today and tomorrow. First off: what to wear!

I've already had one friend email to ask what I wore to the event. I mean, you aren't only there to watch a major sporting event, you're also likely to run into just about everybody at the PGA Championship. 

Clubhouses for Lexmark, Brown-Forman, and Commonwealth of Kentucky ticket holders at Valhalla. You're going to see somebody you know; you definitely want to look cute!

My advice is to dress comfortably. You're going to walk A LOT. Cute golf attire -- a golf shirt, shorts or a skort, and tennis shoes are really the best alternative. I saw a few ladies wearing maxi skirts and flats or flip-flops, and I have to say that they looked miserable and out of place. I've never been so happy to be dressed down! A sun visor and sunglasses are necessities as well!

Leave your purse at home. Tournament regulations prohibit any bag larger than 10x10, but you'll want something much smaller. A wristlet or crossbody is good if you need to bring a purse, or you can pack a drawstring athletic bag. The less you bring, the better!

Here are a few suggestions for comfortable Tournament Day clothes in fun, preppy colors.
