I was at the club yesterday, and two of the 17 year olds were going out with the scratch team. Clearly good golfers, but flippin heck, they have no idea how to wear a pair of trousers.
Waist band just about covering their arse, big belt around the hips, which needs hauling up every few minutes to stop the trews falling down. The shirt then also needs to be tucked in after every swing.
To make it worse, it's raining, so out come the water proofs. Most people would pull these up high enough to go over the top of the belt, but no, the belt is trendy, and must remain visible at all times. As a result, the waist band of the waterproofs is now half way down the arse, and keeps falling lower. The crutch is below knee level, so they can't walk properly, and large pool of trousers around ankles as a trip hazard.
First tee, massive slice into the woods, due to lack of mobility due to kness being joined together.

Odd thing was, they won their match. Poor guys they played must have been really peeved. Bad enough losing, but losing to someone who has deliberately handicapped themselves with their clothes must really hurt.

May be trousers need to come with instructions?
 
Yep.

Fashion, I can see the point of it, all the way til you fall over. It just looked such a faff. It made walking next to impossible, and constantly needed adjusting.
 
I can't even see the point of it, and if that's fashion then I'm happy being clueless.

I can make myself look a c*ck without the aid of clothes.
 
I know a certain prince called George who could have used some trouser instructions when Edmund and Baldrick left him to his own devices. :D
Budge up your highness your highness :D
 
Its fashion and trendy. Let the guys dress how they like.

It doesn't affect you or your game.

Correct mate there's to much of this middle class stuffiness in golf if it bothered you then complain if not just enjoy your game.
 
Most of my mates dress like that on the course and they never get moaned at, just get the odd joke fired at them. If you feel good you will play good, so leave them be :).
 
I was in Subway at Christmas and asked the manager if there was a health and safety risk to customers from the wee gimp who was howking at his arse every 2 minutes pulling his jeans up with his bare arse without washing his hands once. He said it was the employees right to dress how they see fit.
 
God I must be getting old - how does a builders backside become trendy? :D

It comes from the American prison system. The kids in the clink wear low slung trousers, as they have had their belts removed for safety reasons. It all stems from there apparently.

I am not having a pop at the kids, they can dress how they like, as long as they don't mind looking ridiculous. However, when you can't even walk properly, and you are going to have 4 hours of tripping over the flappy ends of your trouser legs, and being joined at the knee, I can't see the point.
 
The scruffy gits can do what they like off the golf course, but on it they should look smart. I cannot believe that most don't mind about this. I don't want to see someones ar$e when I'm playing golf, jesus it's bad enough in the street and in the pub, (there's a a moose in one boozer I go in who's kecks are half way down her legs urg!). If they want to dress like that, let them play on a muni.

What if the arse is visible because it's hanging out of a micro skirt and it belongs to Natalie Gulbis?

Thats ART !!!
 
im far from up myself but some of the way traousers are worn just makes me giggle. Your normal white boy wanting to dress like a hollywood rapper with jeans around the back of their thighs... im only just 31 and i find it laughable.

My sister is younger than me and her boyfriend is only 20, when he comes to the mothers hows for dinner, i simply refuse to let him in until he pulls he's jeans up...

Shocking, im getting old!
 
I have no problem with trendy..in the right environment. If they are in town with their mates let them walk around nacker if they like. At the golf course,unless it's a muni then no.
Everyone else has to tow the line, a certain dress standard is in place so abide by it.
Other sports have dress codes, they may not be written down but they are there. Martial arts for one, you may be allowed to wear a tracksuit for the first few lessons but after that you wear a Gi (white suit) it's expected. Cricket is the same.
Traditions are not lost overnight, they are eaten into slowly and gradually, people let a bit go here and there until it becomes the norm. Youngsters will not stop playing golf because they cannot wear their keks around their sphincters, so stop pandering to them. Tell them to pull their troos up or get off the course.

Well said. I completely agree.
