The Color Golf Forgot—Until Now
Yellow is the hardest color to pull off in golf. When it works, it really works.
Yellow doesn’t sneak its way into golf wardrobes. It announces itself. Loud. Confident. Occasionally risky. For a color that sits just outside the sport’s comfort zone, it’s had a surprisingly consistent presence over the years, popping up in moments where players weren’t afraid to be seen before they were judged.
Until now.
Addie Parker—editor at Skratch and a good friend—put me onto butter yellow—and I haven’t looked back since. Ever since reading her piece on Skratch, “Golf Brands Have Picked Up On This Color Trend—And I'm Here For It”, something clicked. She posed a bold question: Is butter yellow the new khaki? And honestly, she might be right.
Yellow has a way of pulling focus without asking for it. It brings warmth, energy, and just enough edge to stand apart in a sport dominated by navy, gray, and white. When used with intention, it feels confident rather than loud. These are the pieces that made yellow feel considered, wearable, and worth returning to.
