With the advent of Spring, comes the pursuit of happiness — which, for a lot of guys, appears to take the form of whacking a little white ball with a really slick club. But nobody wants to look like a schlub out on the links, so here are some pieces that will keep you looking good even while you’re cursing out that inanimate-yet-menacing water hazard on the back nine.

The Polo: Pick something like this PGA Tour Solid Mesh Polo, $21.99 to $25.99 at JC Penney. It’s light and wicks away perspiration, so even after you whiff it on the tee, no one will see you sweat.

Shorts or Pants: For a more laid back and youthful look we like this Cruiser Plaid Short, $22.90, from Heritage 1981 (assuming, of course, you haven't quite made it to the pro tours, where shorts aren't allowed). Need to dress things up a bit? Try these IZOD FXG Flat Front Golf Pants, on sale for $39.99 at Macy’s.

The Jacket: Because Spring weather can be less than ideal, be prepared for some cool breezes with a cool jacket, like this Nike Silver Swoosh Windbreaker, $78, at Urban Outfitters. Yeah, it’s a little bit of a splurge, but you’ve saved so much on the rest of the outfit, a good quality jacket will take through round after round.
