Help Needed

[chrisdawson41]

Hi

My wife has been asked by a company who manufactures golf trousers to design a new set of trousers. They have asked about where golfers keep their golf tees and ball markers. So i thought it would be good to ask people who play golf. Obviously if you keep the tees in your pocket you run the risk of stabbing yourself in the leg so would it be worth designing golf tee holders to go on the outside of the trousers and where?

Thanks

Chris

Like a utility belt? Love the idea.

Tees, balls, pencils etc in a golfing ammo belt. Just a towel holder to get in there and I'm all yours

Mmm, not sure having golf tee holders on the outside of your trousers is a good look to be honest. I just keep mine in my pocket and have managed to avoid stabbing myself throughout my golfing career up to yet. As for markers then again pocket or attached to my glove if it has one on it.

I think you're over-estimating how sharp tees are. I don't remember ever being stabbed in the leg by a tee, and if I have, it didn't hurt enough to warrant buying trousers with tee holders. As for my ball marker, I have a metal one that connects to a magnet on my pitch-mark repairer, so wouldn't require a ball maker holder on my trousers.

Nike trousers i own have tee holders. Look on the Golf Monthly home page and look at the pic of the front page of the Mag, Rory McIlroy is wearing the same.

Personally (and i reckon the majority will agree) pockets do a perfectly good job at holding stuff. having a specific holder for tee's, ball marker whatever is over engineering a problem that does not exist. Pockets are fine.

Have a look at these from Nike (and i have seen others) http://www.golfgarb.co.uk/nike-juni...tml?source=webgains&siteid=46752#.VRp6H_nF--0

I reckon 1 in 100 people would use the slots provided for tees.


In fact, look at post #60 on this thread for some advice i gave this morning! http://forums.golf-monthly.co.uk/showthread.php?75542-Boycott-of-Nike-products/page6

Maybe some kind of tee holder inside the pocket out of sight? not sure how it would work but there you go.
Problem is as other people mentioned I dont know how many people would use it.
Forgetting the tee holder part of the trousers for a moment if a good quality trouser was made people would buy it just for that reason and If the tee holder part is a bonus extra if it can be out of sight and easy to use.

Ironically what would probably be quite useful would be an extra pocket on the leg of your trousers but then they would be called cargo trousers and you would be banned from umpteen different clubs for not conforming to the dress code. Get golf clubs to allow cargo trousers and then you are in business.

Tees work in your pockets, as do markers, pitch repairers, pencils and tissues. Don't make the pockets small and tight as then they may dig into you. Normal pockets work just fine.

Gimmicks tend to be that. Rooter gave a very graphic reason why tees in a tee slot on your trousers is not good and having recently received a glove that had a tee slotted into the outside of it the first thing I did was take it out as I saw problems there as well.

One thing i would like, is a pocket within a pocket... So one part is tees and ball marker etc, the other section is tissue or loose change etc (back in the day would have been fag lighter!) Thats the only thing i would add.

Have a search, there was a thread quite recently started by Fish about trouser length. A lot of golfers fit into a certain physique... So large waist, short legs would go down well!

No buttons or flaps on the back pockets would be my number one request.

PITA when you're taking a scorecard out every hole.

why dont you buy trousers without the back pocket flap?

I know that's a crazy idea, but it just might work.

Keep tees and a ball marker inmy right hand trouser pocket. Cant remember having any real issues with tees stabbing my leg.

my trousers already have that, as do most jeans (don't start) small pocket inside the right hand pocket I have 2 tees and ball marker to save rummaging through £2 worth of shrapnel.

I'm with this.

Or underestimating how thick the pocket material is?

If the pockets are of a decent size, design and material that's all that's needed in my opinion. No need for two separate pockets as anything no-golf like change, car keys & wallet is in the bag before we start, half a dozen tees, couple of ball markers and a pitch mark repairer in the right hand trouser pocket, card & pencil if needed in the back pocket & that's it. Absolutely no need for utility belts, which would only provide even more opportunity for playing partners to take the proverbial. In nearly 40 years of playing I've not been aware of a femoral artery bleed out as a result of a renegade tee.

Callaway trousers, or at the least the ones I own have a button on the left hand rear pocket but nothing on the right. Perfect for your scorecard butt worries.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned an extra large pocket for their humongous poker chip ball marker

Make sure she designs the trousers with an extra ring for the final bit of the belt
when its done up.

I have noticed on a couple of pairs of trousers I have where the final bit of the belt
has no hoop for it to go in when its done up.

Meaning it has to dangle or you need a band to hold it in.

If you've seen it you will know what I mean.
