Joggers

[Hacker Max]

I was griping about Van Rooyen playing in joggers. My son says joggers are part of contemporary fashion. To me they are akin to sweatpants and inappropriate for tour events. Am I an over-the-hill curmudgeon?

New version of sweat pants.     Good for lounging around the house.

I thought "joggers" were people running down the road for "exercise". If you're an "over-the-hill curmudgeon", I must be even closer to under-the-hill than I reckoned! 😄

Here’s a close-up of Van Rooyen’s pant legs. The bottoms are elastic like sweatpants.

Ewwwwww! That's just wrong. 2 stroke penalty, in my opinion.

They aren't my thing. 

But the young people seem to like the joggers. They don't bother me, so if they want to wear them, more power to them.

When I was young, we called those ‘Floods’ and it meant you had outgrown your pants.

Yes! His socks look like they’re having a great party…they should invite the pants down!

Pants on tour are stupid. I'm for anything that exemplifies this and brings us closer to allowing shorts

Not I it means these!

Shorts are probably not a good look for many tour players. I hesitate to name them.

I wear joggers in the winter and cooler weather.   Modern materials and a non sloppy cut, not baggy sweats.   Lot of pants end up too short because I Have long legs.   Where I play, no one cares if you wear more athletic looking clothes as long as you have a collared shirt or don’t look sloppy.   If not joggers, I do leggings under shorts just to cover my legs in the winter.

I wonder if he would be allowed to play barefoot with these ankle stranglers on? Sam Snead learned to play golf barefoot. Maybe he just couldn't afford shoes back then!

[Hacker Max]

I guess I’m old school but to me this is inappropriate attire for a tour professional. You’re right about Snead. Even as a pro, when Sam was struggling he would take off his shoes and play barefoot.

I'm fine with joggers, I think they started to get traction like 5 years ago. I've seen a few well regarded popular teaching pros in my social feeds who regularly wear joggers I dunno, three years ago? It's nice not having the material near your ankles flop around.

When will bell bottoms come back?

[KMP]

The pants I have like that were not called joggers and the legs extend a bit further south. Depending on the material they look similar to golf pants IMO, although the cotton models do look like sweats. I wouldn't were them that short since fire ants may bite my ankles and cause me to destroy a tee marker.

Is it possible for y'all to act any older? Sheesh.
