Best Golf Socks for Junior Golfers

best golf socks

The best golf socks. A round of golf, or ten, is a good test for a great pair of golf socks. A golfer has enough to think about in a game of golf than worrying about that blister forming on his (or her) foot because his socks are thin or damp or slipping or whatever other discomfort a poorly considered sock purchase can manifest.

The best golf socks have, ideally, most of the following characteristics.

Good Golf Sock Characteristics

  •  Light-weight and high performance fiber.
  • Extreme comfort and support, especially around the toe seam,  ankle and heel.
  • Maximum moisture control: the fabric should lift moisture and vapor off the skin.
  • Secure fit: Reinforced and layered heel, compression through the arch band to prevent creeping.

We collected seven very popular golf sock brands and a seven junior golfer test-market and here is the feedback we got.
