Would you wear a pair of 'joggers' to play golf in?

[MarkT]

Have been sent a pair of ankle-bearing slacks by Penguin and wondering if it is acceptable for a 51-year-old dork to give them a go?

On the one hand I'll be particularly self-conscious, look like a massive try hard, I'm overweight and I struggle with any sort of stretchy golf trouser

On the other I quite like them, they're navy blue which is all I wear, imagine they'll be pretty cooling on a hot day and I like the drawstring nature of them which appeals to my waistline

No...
There's a fine line between looking cool and looking like a dickhead.....don't cross it..

 

[Depreston]

Yes

I’d wear them, but they don’t sound right for you ?

 

[Bratty]

I dislike ankles on show... I'm kind of Victorian like that!

Who am I to advise you on sartorial elegance. However, I am going to like every post which tells you no!

No. Have some self respect. Maybe as a young 20 something you could get away with it although I wonder how many members would be tut-tutting into an apoplectic frenzy

I’d wear them, along with my hoodie.

 

[BiMGuy]

Yes.

They'll look *** with a lovey pair of Skechers though!

 

[Crow]

Only if I wanted to look like a prize knob.

Are Sketchers the shoes that look like the orthopaedic shoes that are advertised in Saga and Peoples Friend magazines?

Mine don't. I love them!

Ultimately, just because you can wear something doesn't mean you should. These come into that category. For young, tall and athletic people only I'm afraid.

We will just have to see

Ditto

Joggers - no. But then I wouldn't wear them off the course either.

 

[Orikoru]

I would certainly give them a wear if somebody gifted them to me, but I probably wouldn't buy them myself.

Let's see a photo of you in them, only then can the court of virtual public opinion have a proper say on the matter.
