They might be the most important thing you bring on a golf trip. They might be the most important apparel you wear on the course. Screw up your selection just once and the blisters on your heel will remind you with days of pain. They are, of course, the socks you wear to play golf.

Do normal, athletic socks get the job done? Sure. But are there much better offerings beyond the clearance rack at your department store? Undoubtedly.
