Thanks, @ncates00, for a light discussion item during the Mitten's recess from golf.  At 68, I continue with the dated collared shirt, plain shorts/pants, USGA hat "look".  Fashion has passed me by.  If I attempted to wear what Ricky Fowler and others wear, I suspect I would look a bit ridiculous.  I don't miss the old look, it never left as far as I am concerned.

I was actually thinking about this the other day! Most people I see on the course have a polo and khakis/shorts, and a pullover or even a hoodie in the colder months. 

But I think it would be hilarious to show up to golf practice one day in knickers and a sweater and tie. The guys would definitely get a kick out of that!

Go for it!  Make a name for yourself.  Become a high school legend in your own time.  😃

I am sort of easy on this, everything changes with the times. The only things I dislike are wearing a hat backwards and baggy pants. Also not a fan of collarless shirts.

 You're not on safari. You're playing golf.

 

It is obvious you have never played with me on a day the driver isn't cooperating. I see parts of the course the head greens keeper didn't know existed.

I have noticed quite a few ladies wearing yoga pants/tanks or super short shorts/skirts to play golf. I personally think that is inappropriate. My club sent out a newsletter last week to remind members of the dress code but I am not sure if they will really enforce it. 
I also think some guys are wearing pants that are waaayyyyyy too tight, they cannot even walk right...pleated slacks are a bit baggy but it is better than tight imo...

My normal outfit is a collared T-shirt and either formal pants (cotton/khaki) or khaki type knee length shorts (rarely).  I believe this is what people should wear all the time.  I really dislike what I see on a lot of these youtube videos of people golfing in track pants, jeans etc.

I’m 66 but I try to stay contemporary and well dressed. Flat front slimmer profile slacks( no shit stoppers or hip huggers), a nice silky polo( no double knit tit hugger), a normal cap( no flat brim gang member), and a dressier leather shoe( no foam boardwalk strollers).

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
