What To Wear To Ryder Cup

Ryder Cup isn't the Kentucky Derby. It's not the place to make a statement with bright, distracting clothing and a big hat. Instead, appropriate clothing is the exact opposite of Derby clothing. Wear something comfortable and unassuming, prepare for both hot and cool, both sunny and rainy weather. Finally, skip the heels if you don't want to get stuck in the mud.
