Starting this week.

About time but personally, I think fines for many won't be any deterrent especially given some of the purses on tour. Why they simply cannot use shot penalties is beyond me. That would be a bigger sanction especially if the player then missed a cut or two

Just my opinion but why would anybody do this to themselves?

Pathetic and just a token gesture all to save 15 minutes I doubt if anyone will notice this very small difference.

As I have said many times its penalty shots only that will do it.

Yep, let's see the 'tailored short cargo big pocket on side/beach' pants that you see during the summer in your medal, appear in the pro tours as well........... Great idea.

Can't be no worse than fowlers tracky bottoms and high tops

It's art, we've been doing it for centuries, it's nothing new, although the tribal stuff has really taken a leap over the last few years, all mine on my chest, arms, back etc are more traditional, when that single needle goes around your nipple or taps against your shoulder blades, well you just can't put a price on that

:smirk:

Full sleeves are the latest fashion innit. I'm going to start a laser tattoo removal business ready for when the trendy kids aren't trendy anymore lol.
Rep to old school proper tattoos though, done for the right reason of course.

Personally I'm against Pros wearing shorts, there's absolutely no reason for it.

To be comfortable in very hot conditions ?

There's a difference between hot and humid, both can be 40 degrees, 1 with very little humidity and 1 with loads, can't just be about heat alone!

I don't think we'll see that many wearing them going by some of the top boys opinions on Twitter!

The use of "hot" was encompassing all the conditions attributed to hot conditions

I don't think we'll see too many at the majors but I wonder, once they get the go ahead, whether some of the co-sanctioned events in South Africa, or the Far East will see a bigger take up of the option

Well the Secret Pro doesn't agree, he thinks shorts will look unprofessional, OK for Pro-AM's and practice only, he also says there is a huge difference in comfortability between 40 degrees with zero humidity and 35 degrees with 100% humidity so can't be based on heat alone.

I'm starting to be swayed to the "no thanks" camp.

I'd put money on the yanks wearing them well before any Europeans, someone is going to wear a pair just for the first publicity shoot that it will cause, their agents will be pushing them towards it, and what of brand ambassadors and those companies sending them shorts, will they then have to wear them?

Well all the guys at the recent Euraisa had no issues and a number of players today in the Pro Am in Dubai were wearing them so maybe it's like most things - down to the individual to make the choice to wear what they feel is comfortable for them.

I guess it depends if the PGA sanctions their use in events before the European tour. I can see the merits in the US and yes, there will be some whacky ones that sponsors pay players big bucks to wear. While I see the logic, and I'm sure they will come in, I'm not overly bothered either way. It won't affect the viewing too much and good golf is good golf whatever they wear
