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

[MarkT]

Well these are free, so nothing to lose... except your dignity! ??

If anything screams twilight round and an empty course it's this

 

[Bratty]

I wear joggers far worse than those to play golf in... crack on I say!

Don't wear them tomorrow!!!!!! ???

 

[Orikoru]

Think I'd just like a light trouser (that doesn't look like a stretchy, spandex golf trouser), isn't a pair of shorts and doesn't cost £80. I also think I'm still living in 1997 where everything costs £40 and under.

I get about 90% of my golf clothes from County-Golf. You wait long enough and you'll see what you want for £25.

I must be living in pre-1985 land.

Their website says they are a forward thinking club on attire!? Should be fine!

Just had a look at 'Penguin' golf gear, i think they have a bigger issue than the joggers... how about these short shorts !

 

[Whereditgo]

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

The last four words in the thread title are unnecessary..........no!

They are just shorts are they not?

 

[Bunkermagnet]

No. I wouldnt allow them on a golf course full stop. Wear them in a gym, or slopping around at home but on a course, no.

 

[Mandofred]

It doesn't matter how well you would play in them they might as well have KNOB in big letters on the backside.

I'm American.....so it goes without saying.

I'm an ex-PE/Health/Science teacher....I wear some kind of joggers 95% of the time I'm not golfing. I've brought this up before....and could include millions of pics from online.....but about 25% of all golf clothing fit into the KNOB catagory. Florescent/plaid/etc clothes......well.....I've never understand why golfers (and nobody else) think it looks great....

 

[MarkT]

Again, agreed. There are some great golfing clothing brands but still not loads (for my 'look'). Saw this the other day and despaired that we're not living and dressing like it's 1978..

 

[Orikoru]

They're not really jogging bottoms in the proper sense though are they?? Aren't they just trousers, as in the same material as regular golf trousers, but just gathered at the ankles? It's not like turning up on the course in a pair of Lonsdale sweatpants.

They are just shorts are they not?

They look like shorts for a 12 yr old being worn by an adult. Typically mens shorts are about 3-4" longer that that

Don't forget they'll want to take promo photos, so make sure you're ankles look good! ?

Id be in with a shout at forums sexiest ankles 2022 I reckon!

Nah, this is a ridiculous trend that needs to die quickly and only reappear 10 years from now in instagram posts ridiculing Eric Van Rooyen, much like vintage gold shirt Poulter.

Next month, Cameron Smith in dungarees....

It wouldn't even be a thing if the PGA just let them wear shorts for Christ's sake.

I get it on tour to be honest, if i were to be in a tour event I'd openly take the Poulter view of wearng the most ridiculous garb available for no other reason than to make sure i got on TV. Hence happy sponsors sign up to pay me on my short career, maximising my wealth.

The problem only arrives when MarkT misses the joke and thinks its all of a sudden OK in the real world...
