Don’t Overlook the Benefits of a Great Golf Sock

Socks can make or break a round, but somehow they remain an afterthought for many golfers. Let’s change that.

On the golf course, you’re going to be doing an awful lot of walking, whether you like to carry your bag or ride in a cart. You can’t avoid it. Each step, each swing, puts stress on your feet. We know that golf shoes make a huge difference when it comes to on-course comfort, but we’re willing to bet big money (like, Scottie Scheffler money) that you don’t give enough thought to the socks you wear.

A great pair of socks will make your shoes more comfortable, protect your feet from blisters, keep sweat at bay, and add a bit of personal style to your golf ‘fits. They are the only point of contact between your skin and your shoes, after all, so you might as well put some thought into your choices. You spend your hard earned cash on golf shoes, but why not toss in a few extra bucks for a good pair of socks? I can assure you, it’s worth it.

For the lovers of tall socks, we’ve got them. If you prefer a no-show sock, we’ve got those too. And if you like something in the middle, ankle socks and quarter-crews are there when you need them. You really can’t go wrong (unless you wear no-show socks with full-length pants — just don’t do that).

Don't let socks be the most overlooked golf accessory in your rota? Socks can make or break a day spent on your feet, but somehow they remain an afterthought. Let’s change that.

Del Campo Golf Socks

Del Campo Golf Socks

Del Campo makes some of the absolute best golf socks out there. Equal parts playful and refined, their lineup of quarter crews will become staples in your golf game. They’re a great value if you just buy one, but you won't want just one after seeing the Pimento Pack that just dropped ahead of the first major of the year.

Swiftwick socks are my go-to for running, cycling, and, surprisingly, golf. They have just enough compression to keep your feet comfortable even after walking 36 holes and prevent blisters better than just about any sock I’ve ever tried.

Metalwood Metal Logo Quarter Sock

Metalwood Metal Logo Quarter Sock

Metalwood’s success is in the little details. The logo is obvious but not overwhelming, the length is just right, and, most importantly, they’re a helluva deal at just $14 per pair.

Stance Ultralight Performance Quarter Socks

Stance Ultralight Performance Quarter Socks

Stance knows its audience. Old heads who skate all get into golf, so they took their tried-and-true styles and designs and crafted a perfect golf sock. I love the quarter-crew (a theme is starting to unfold here), but Stance's crew length and no-shows are great, too.

 Sun Day Red Cypress Cotton Crew Sock

Sun Day Red Cypress Cotton Crew Sock

Tiger has had enough trouble with his legs and feet to settle for crappy socks, so you can be sure you’re getting a well-considered sock from his brand, Sun Day Red. They’re affordable, come in a few Tiger-worthy colorways and have an ever-so-subtle embroidered cat logo to remind everyone that if you know, you know.

Bombas Men's Golf Quarter Sock

Bombas has since expanded beyond socks, but they’re one of the first mainstream brands to focus exclusively on making the perfect sock before doing anything else.
