I�m almost always in skorts when I hit the links these days. They�re comfortable, flattering and I swing freely in them. But there was a time when skorts were not my go-to, years ago, when strict dress code rules at many clubs had us wearing them no shorter than four inches above the knee. Thank goodness those rules are bending, because more women are playing the game and shopping selections are broadening as a result. If you know where to look, you can find fashionable golf skorts in a range of lengths to fit your fancy.
While a 17-inch skort is my go-to, if you have the legs to rock a 15-inch, go for it! I hear from a lot of women in my shop that they like the coverage of a 19-inch skort, so I search them out. Regardless of your length preference, there are several brands that are particularly attractive and accommodating to all our needs. Buy the skort, skip alterations and head straight to the tee.
Perhaps the best place to start is the upscale Allie Burke Sport. These �statement� skorts have kick pleats, scallops or strait cuts in a variety of stunning prints and coordinated trim details. The under-short fabric is an exact match to the skort.
Available in: 15-inch, 17-inch or 19-inch lengths

The Sofibella collection also offers three lengths of pull-on skorts. Look for ruffles, flounces and scallops in these fun �signature� designs.

I have often said that a great game starts with confidence. Feeling comfortable in your clothes helps build it. When it comes to skorts, that is the long and short of it.
