Original Penguin Martini Print Golf Polo Shirt Review

Away from the golf course, I like to wear colorful and patterned clothing, particularly in summer. The ‘party shirt’ trend has been going for several years now and shows no signs of abating, and happily for me, more and more manufacturers are producing golf polos that fit very much into the aforementioned category. 

The Penguin Martini Print Golf Polo Shirt is absolutely bursting with personality, character and color, but it’s also a high-quality garment in terms of production and technology. I genuinely can’t remember liking another polo shirt more and I’d go so far as to say it’s my new favorite men's golf shirt.

That said, it’s not going to have universal appeal. Those who are more traditional in their outlook and clothing choices will almost certainly look elsewhere and subtlety isn’t the name of the game when it comes to this top. But I love the azure, ‘blue atoll’ color scheme, as well as the martini glasses, cocktail shakers, dice and penguins dotted all over this polo. It’s a garment that will certainly turn heads and make an impression.

When it comes to golf, though, you need a polo shirt that looks good and performs. Color aesthetics are no good if you have poor mobility or temperature regulation. Thankfully, style hasn’t come at the expense of functionality.

The Martini Print polo is lightweight and stretchy, enabling a full range of motion through each shot. It fits nicely to your figure without being too tight and the single-knit fabric provides plenty of durability. In this day and age, environmental responsibility and sustainability is at the forefront of a lot of people’s minds, so it’s good to know this polo is crafted from recycled polyester. 

The short sleeves are just the right length, it works well with mid-layers/quarter zips, and the moisture-wicking technology keeps you dry and comfortable – as does the blend of fabrics used. The only negative I can think of is that it doesn’t come in different color schemes.

The Penguin Martini Print Golf polo shirt is a fantastic product and I’ll be wearing it as much as possible over the summer months. You should do the same, and for more summer apparel buying advice, check out our guides on the best golf shorts, or even the best golf sunglasses.
