I wear black athletic shoe-style golf shoes with black or white socks, long or short pants, and don't think twice. Usually white ankle socks when wearing shorts. If I'm wearing long pants I would probably tend toward black socks unless I'm wearing light-colored pants. However, I wouldn't sweat it unless it was with black (or near-black, though I don't have any) pants.

If I had dress-style shoes I might think about it, but I think those are silly with shorts, and uncomfortable for me regardless of their color.

my only golf shoes are all black dryjoys so i have no choice.  you just have to pair them up with some black ankle socks and you're ok.  any other socks and i'd say no.

I would agree with the last post about the black ankle socks. Ha ha. In golf fashion as long as you aren't rocking acid wash jeans on the course why not.

For clarification these are all black...not saddles.


I just picked up some of these....black FJ BOA's due to comfort. Also have a couple of the white/brown ones.

I'm curious, too, what the fashion police will say about them with shorts - I figure I'll put some black socks on - and maybe coordinate w/ darker shirts, but don't have any black shorts - maybe I ought to get some. Florida is hot when you're wear black, though.

No fashion police here, but I wear black shoes, black 1/4 crew socks with black shorts all the time.  First time I wore them I felt self conscious but now I actually prefer the look over white shoes with black shorts.

I got a pair of black Nike shoes from my father as a Christmas gift, so it looks like now I'll need to buy some black ankle socks so the fashion police don't come after me.

Wait, will they only come after me if I'm on the course? What about the driving range? An indoor simulator? Ahhhhhhhhhhhh too many golf fashion rules!

I could start the trend (along with my loudmouth clothing) - problem is my black nikes are not as durable as my white footjoys

    • Day 133 (25 Apr 24) - Worked with the Divot Board today added a piece of cardboad behind the ball to help reinforce ball first contact. Contact improved through the round.   Added grandson's football goal posts about 10yds out to add a good start line visual Good session today. 
    • Day 120: 4/25/24 Full Speed Spectrum training session. Low energy today and my speed was lower than normal. Will see what I can do on Saturday.
    • Day 541, April 25, 2024 Ten minutes after lessons. Still not caught up, but should be by tomorrow evening.
    • Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.
    • He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
