Today I found a waterproof jacket I love: [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/02/u5anemev.jpg[/IMG] Having decided I like it I asked the price and the sales person told me it would make a great gift for my wife (so clearly it's a ladies jacket) So now I face a decision; buy it anyway because I like it and hope nobody knows it's a ladies jacket or buy a bland plain black "men's" version. Would you or do you wear any female golf clothes which could pass for men's?

I dunno. It looks pretty gender neutral. If it fits, and doesn't say "Ladies" or something on it, I say why not?

Or, just ask for the male version of that jacket in those materials, etc.

The closest they had was plain black in "mens" or a purple and black one.

I did ask in what world black and white is more feminine than black and purple. ;)

If you like it and are comfortable wearing it, who cares.

I just suggest that you do not enter a handbag toss competition while wearing it. :dance:

Ask to get matching lipstick too... :-P

I definitely do not have the figure for that. 6'2" 245... that would probably shred in the middle of my swing.

Anyway, I guess who cares? I mean, unless you're wearing some blatant women's gear, or if that jacket is form-fitting. I'm not too into the Poulter style of clothing where polos have no "folds" or "crinkles" in them. In my opinion, if your shirt can't even blow in the wind, it's too damn tight. That's just me though...

I don't think I've worn a shirt that blows in the wind in years. I'll pass on oversized duds...

Seems like a bunch of the guys from the UK like wearing tighter fitting cloths, at least from what I see on youtube. I prefer a looser fit, but not baggy.

I don't mean oversized as in MC Hammer... I just mean "relaxed" fit. I can't be comfortable in baby gap clothes that belong on Justin Beiber is what I'm saying.

Not even if they offered to pay me to do so...    Women's clothes are typically cut much differently than mens (allowing for boobs and different body shape , etc), so even if there is nothing written on the clothing to indicate it was intended for a woman, the way it most likely will fit is going to give it away.     In this case, based on what I can tell, the nifty little script on the pocket and the cut of it (especially the horizontal seam at chest level) screams this is a women's jacket to me.

But hey, in this politically correct society we are saddled with today, it would be considered inappropriate to make fun of a transvestite, so do whatever you think best.......

lol That's worded pretty rough.. I wouldn't have gone that far. I agree though, that no - I would personally, absolutely not wear clothing intended for women. It's not a "man" thing either. Just look at the white outline of that jacket. It's supposed to accentuate a woman's figure in the chest, waist and hips. The red jacket that @BENtSwing32 linked is the way to go.

      SuperSpeed Sues Stack System for Supposedly Syndicating Successes & Statistics

      By iacas ·

      https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603d222df4a6a57df7ef3e29/t/663cdba5d89e3a1848dab8d1/1715264422455/US_DIS_ILND_1_24cv3749_d34676497e293_COMPLAINT_filed_by_SuperSpeed_Golf_LLC_Jury_Demand.pdf The full complaint is there, but  basically, SuperSpeed (SS*) is claiming the Stack System (SS*) Stack System’s [sic] produces inflated metrics later used to, [sic] mislead and deceive consumers. Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas ·

      I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Dr. Manhattan ·

      Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.

      I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.
