'golf clothing' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to bodily activities as well as being present participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'carried around popular' is the wordplay.
'carried' becomes 'borne' (I've seen this in another clue).
'around' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'popular' becomes 'ing' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'borne' back-to-front is 'enrob'.
'enrob'+'ing'='ENROBING'
