female golfers have a challenge because they have boobs

i find that as a female golfer, boobs are a tricky area. on one hand they help us look beautiful and feminine, some might even say graceful. but on the other hand they do form a sort of restriction when you set up because they are obstructions between your arms. i wear sport bras because they flatten the chest and allow my arms to swing through more freely but i'm currently experimenting with getting a more feminine golf look. the main issue i have is getting over the feeling that i'm sticking my chest out so much like as though i'm saying to the world "hey check out my boobies" because in actual fact i don't think people actually think of it that way. breasts are just a natural part of being a woman and regardless of size, i should embrace them and be proud of what i have

i find that sport bras help to flatten the chest and lessen some of the problem but then those without padding create the chance that you will expose your two points. haha if you know what i'm referring to. it may not not be an issue in the western culture where it is seen as sexy and provocative, but in asian culture, it is often frowned upon. i myself think that it is inappropriate and attracts unwanted attention which becomes distracting while playing golf. there are sport bras that do offer padding but they are not durable and the padding shifts out of position or loses shape after being thrown in the washing machine. maybe i'm supposed to hand wash them?

sport bras provide support and prevents the breasts from swinging around and just basically being a distraction

lately, i've been experimenting and trying to get used to wearing bras made for sport. they make me feel a bit insecure as i feel like my chest is sticking out alot when i set up. but maybe i'm just not used to it yet. other female golfers don't seem to be bothered by it so i guess it shouldn't be an issue for me. i'm reading into it too much maybe.

however i find that bras, sport bras and bras designed for sport are much like clothes in that sometimes its hard to find a good fit. maybe because there are limited brands at a reasonable price i would be willing to pay, i find it difficult to find many models that fit me properly.

the problem i had with the sport bras were that the straps could be a bit short and sometimes they felt like they were cutting into my shoulders, yet going up a size would make it loose around the chest area. so confusing. problems i face in looking for a bra designed for sport would be that they make sizes in S M L and not so much according to the cup size or bustline like those in normal bras that state two parts. the number and the cup eg:34C. the other problem would be that they are so overpriced. yes they are specially designed but i wouldn't pay $60 for something that doesn't even fit me perfectly
