My wife loves golf fashion. Not so much the wildly bright colors but she likes the white pants and plaids, and color coordinating. She buys me "outfits" 3 to be exact over the winter and a few more just last week. I like what she picks out it looks cool, but I havnt worn any yet. My game is so so and don't know if the walk backs up the talk sort to speak. What are your thoughts? Does it matter? Where I live and play the muni's require proper attire and my club obviously requires it. It not like I'm playing in a foursome with people wearing wrangler jeans and cargo pants. Just wondering what the population thinks. I can't be the only person with this issue.

My rule of thumb....If you're comfortable with it then wear it. I wouldn't be too concerned with what other people think about your clothes and/or style. They probably won't even notice to be honest.

If you are not comfortable wearing the stuff I wouldn't recommend trying to play a round in it. If you don't feel right, you probably won't play right. Just my opinion on the scenario.

Pretty much see everything from jeans to tour issue gear at the places I play. I don't worry what other people wear and I wear what I like. Though I have noticed those that look the part tend to be better players. Not talking scratch but the high 70's low 80's guys.

I think as long as you keep to the proper attire of the golf course you play at, then you will be fine. I personally don't like to see people in jeans and t shirts playing.

If you think they (the outfits) look good, wear them. "look good - feel good, feel good - play good"

"does it still count as a hit fairway if it is the next one over"

Wear it and look good.  Doesn't matter how good you play.  IMO there is no reason not to look good on a course.  Even Walmart sells golf shirts and shorts that look good.  Get an outfit for $30.   My wife picks me up golf shirts that would normally be out of my comfort zone(no, not Puma stuff) but I find they actually look good so now I wear them.  I used to be a khaki and white or navy kind of guy but now I'll even wear yellow, lime or peach.....LOL

At 13.8 I don't think you need to worry about whether your golf game is good enough to wear the outfits your wife bought.  I am the same way, I avoid wearing bright or loud golf clothes that will draw attention to me but in general I'm not a flashy dresser.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Hitting some good shots on my golf trip. It's good I can tell when I hit better shots the way I want to swing the ball versus when I use an older swing. Shockingly, the short game has been at worst, not harmful to my game. I am using similar feels to the full swing, in that I try to get my hands down. I've been nipping the ball clean off the turf.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By mdl ·

      I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?
