At my last job with a medical company the sales department was often treated to trips around the states, and they were always very nice.
They spent a lot of money on us because the sales department is where all the company’s money comes from.
Fabulous meals, expensive bottles of wine, beautiful resorts, touristy outings, massages. The whole nine yards.
In case you’re wondering, newspapers do not to that. It was my first and only job outside the world of newspapers.
When I first found out about these trips (we also worked – it wasn’t all play) I had a million questions. Did I have to share a room with one of my coworkers? Gross. What do I wear? Do I have to dress up? Do I have to use my good manners?
It turned out to all be very casual, but I didn’t realize that at first.
I asked a question about what we were supposed to wear. The sales manager, a married womanizing alcoholic and golf player, responded, “Golf clothes are fine and whatever the equivalent is for the ladies.”
Golf clothes?
What the heck are golf clothes? I’m not a golfer.
The only time I’ve ever been on a golf course was driving the cart around for my golfing friends and drinking beer. That’s the extent of my golf experience. It was so long ago I don’t remember what anyone was wearing.
Then I discovered Stein Mart, and my life and comfort level changed forever.
Guys, if you haven’t looked into golf clothes you should do yourself a favor and buy some.
Because of the aforementioned sales manager I am now a devout wearer of golf clothes.
So comfortable and stretchy.
And all of my clothes need to be stretchy these days.
When I moved to Clear Lake almost six years ago I had never been inside a Stein Mart. When I went the first time after Googling “golf clothes” I was amazed. It’s a really cool store if you’ve never been.
And I mentioned how astonished I was about Stein Mart on my social media and was quickly ostracized for it. No one could believe I’d never been inside one.
I was called things like “country” and “uninformed” and other names that are also absolutely true.
They have a whole section in the men’s department strictly devoted to golf clothes, the most comfortable clothes ever invented, in my humble opinion.
So I occasionally do make a foray into the store for golf clothes even though I hate shopping for clothes.
But now we can’t do that, but guess what? They have mail order.
I placed my order today so I’ll be styling like a golfer in 5 to 7 business days.
I’ve had a Target card for a few years. I finally got it paid off so I thought I’d use it for some new clothes. I ordered online thinking everything was fine.
Those idiots at Target send all my clothes to Moss Bluff, Louisiana to an address I used once years ago to send someone a birthday gift.
They refunded my money and told me I’d need to reorder.
Thank goodness I remembered Stein Mart.
Now go order some golf clothes whether you’re a golfer or not. You can thank me later.
