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

[sunshine]

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

So much golf clothing and equipment screams knob.
remote control trolleys?
Footjoy icons?

Fashion has been here before. Nothing new.

Who said you can't wear black socks with shorts?
(And get those flashes)

What a guy!

Playing a bit hard and fast with the word 'fashion' there maybe. ?

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

The notes on page say the model is 6‘ 1” . I suspect these would fit just above the knee for someone like me with a 28” inside leg measurement.

I wouldn't, but then I wouldn't wear joggers (AKA the Chav uniform) in any scenario.

But then I wouldn't wear jeans to play football or flip-flops on a building site.

Building sites are so stuffy! ??

I guess you are ok with black socks as long as they are knee high

There are lots of photos of Brian Barnes wearing questionable outfits, but all complied with the dress code I'm sure.

Okay, confession time…

I own four pairs of golf joggers. I exclusively wear golf joggers. They are golf trousers, but are just turned up and skinny at the ankle…

I find them “cooler” (temperature wise, honest!) than trousers as it gets fresh air to my ankles, and they go better than normal golf trousers with my Jordan golf shoes or any kind of “trainer” style shoe in my opinion.

Shorts don’t do it for me, as my legs get absolutely cremated and bitten to shreds in the heather.

No one has said a word in 2+ years so I’ve never thought twice about it. This thread has me seriously reconsidering ?

I am in my 20s, 6ft 1 and a bit of a rake though

I think these look really smart:

Im firmly in your camp mate. They look better, feel better and really are just a modern design of golf trouser!

Jordans with a standard pair of trousers would just look weird

^^^^ and this is the key to it. You can carry them off so crack on.

I would never ban them, I am anti dress code full stop, but this thread, is about the fun side of whether a middle aged bloke can pull them off. As someone in this territory I can answer, 'no'

Jogger style has to be better for winter as well as there's no danger of them dragging in the mud.

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

to me they just don’t make sense, if it’s warm enough to wear shorts then do so, if it’s cold enough to wear trousers then the same.

the exposed ankle also makes no sense, walking through damp rough you’ll get soaking wet socks let alone the brambles ripping you to bits if you’re a hacker…. Sorry fairway misser. That’s before we even discuss the insect bites.

Its trend though. Surely you see people sporting similar fashion around in day to day life - its simply golf just catching up.

I thought you were going to ask if tracksuit bottoms (what I know as jogging bottoms) were OK on the course. To me, they would be preferct, comfortable, warm and can wear shorts underneath if the weather changes.

You could make the same argument about gilets really. If it's cold enough, wear a jacket, etc. It's just whatever people find comfortable.

Trends I get, I wear trackers that are a similar fit but I just do not see them as practical golf bottoms

I disagree. A gilet is about keeping the core warm while not restricting movement. I’m yet to try my gilet for golf although I’ve also invested in two casual ones for during the winter.

I'm with oddsocks. I have a golf gilet and it is brilliant. It keeps my body warm but leaves my arms free. As my arms don't feel the cold as much it works perfectly in all but the coldest of weathers. Treat yourself at the next County Golf sale, you wont regret it

I have a gilet in my golf bag, you've misunderstood what I was getting at.

Well maybe people want to keep their legs warm while not restricting ankle movement?
