Shorts on Tour

[Orikoru]

It’s crazy that it’s almost 2020 and we are saying it’s a good thing that adults are allowed to make a choice to wear shorts when playing golf.
Just goes to show how outdated golf (and people’s attitudes in golf) can be at times.

It really is ridiculous that we're even discussing it. Should have been allowed 30 years ago. For every other aspect the pros dress code was pretty much in line with every club in the country, except for the one caveat that they weren't allowed to wear shorts. Makes no sense.

As long as it's not Aphibarnrat I think we'll survive!!!

Wrong...just soooo wrong

how on earth do you wear black socks with those bad boys

I think people who oppose things like this should be lined up against a wall and shot. perhaps then golf can move forward

Maybe just flogged, shot is a bit extreme!

Watching it now and it just seems so natural. Talking of nature long shot back to the tee has just revealed a pro answering the call of

That's the sort of thing that happens once you let shorts be worn.

Its about time.

We play in temperatures of over 35c very often during the summer and take my word for it, its bloody difficult even IN shorts, and we have the early tee times.
Like all of these things, so long that it is managed correctly we should fine.

They have just said that the temperature in South Africa is now over 40c.

Maybe it's like a cricket thread about wicketkeepers wearing helmets. 😁

It's a change to the norm, so worthy of comment.

If players were that bothered they'd have had it changed years ago.

That's even more proof, just the influence of shorts has affected a proper golfer.

What about ‘the Cat o’ 9 tails’. Thought that was considered earlier this week!

It's one for consideration I guess. 🤔

Looks scorchio this morning - stunning setting - perfect for shorts. Looking smart. Didn’t Brian Barnes sometimes wear shorts back in the 1970’s?

I am noting socks...🤪

I watched some of the golf this morning ......................... and it did look a bit strange to me.
I'm sure it'll look perfectly normal over time.
Having said that, it's definitely a step in the right direction, good decision.

Shorts aside - someone should tell Marcus Armitage that open-mouth gum chewing is not a good look...did his parents not tell him to keep his mouth shut when eating 😣

I don’t wear shorts at home , the horseflies are attracted to me.
But trousers are ok by me .
It should be up to the pros what they wear and nobody else.
Tailored of course.
