Dunning 16-Inch Pleated vs 17-Inch Jersey Golf Skorts

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Choose between Dunning’s 16-inch Player Fit Pleated and 17-inch Player Jersey skorts by the construction you prefer, then verify how the length sits on you. They are different styles, not simply one skort offered an inch longer. Pleated side panels, liner arrangement and pocket access should be part of the fitting.

The named length is useful for identifying the product, but it does not predict coverage on every wearer. Waist position and proportions affect where the hem falls, so compare the actual garments through ordinary golf movements.

Treat the model name as part of the measurement

The pleated skort page and jersey skort page identify separate products. Keep the full name and style information when comparing a retailer’s offer. A listing for another Dunning skort of the same length may have a different construction.

If you need a precise hem position, ask how the listed length is measured and whether it varies with size. Do not substitute the inner short measurement for the outer skirt length. Both matter to comfort, but they answer different questions.

Check the liner independently of the skirt

During a suitable fitting, walk, sit and bend as you would to place a ball. Notice whether the liner stays comfortable or needs adjustment, then assess the outer skirt separately. A tidy hem does not compensate for an uncomfortable liner, and a comfortable liner does not establish that the skirt hangs as you prefer.

Check coverage through those movements with the waistband at its intended position. Do not move the waist unusually high or low just to make a length work. If the fit only looks right in a posed stance, try another size or cut.

Use the pockets before deciding

Put a ball or marker in the compartment you intend to use and check access. Walk a few steps and notice whether the contents pull on the garment. If you keep balls in your bag, you may care more about a comfortable place for a small marker than about maximum pocket capacity.

Compare the pleats while the pockets are loaded and after you sit. The aim is to choose a construction you enjoy using, not to infer superior performance from the number of design details. Keep your observations specific so a second fitting is easier.

Finish with size, care and course requirements

Use the current Dunning chart and verify the selected color and size on the order. Read the supplied care label before washing, especially if you want to preserve a particular pleated or piped finish. We have not tested wash durability or cooling performance for either style.

Our skort guide explains the wider format, and the women’s clothing guide helps complete an outfit. Confirm any course clothing requirement directly with the venue if hem length or style is relevant.

Choose the skort whose liner, waistband and pockets work together for you, then compare the delivered US offer. Check the actual return conditions before treating a discounted pair as a fitting experiment.
