Is it possible to have a discussion on social media without someone injecting an insult?

Where's the insult?

To me they are akin to sweatpants and inappropriate for tour events. Am I an over-the-hill curmudgeon?

Oh, here it is. In the OP. By you.

They look weird to me but do your thing.  If he wears them like that around here in July the biting flies will be very grateful.

I’m going with yes. They’re pants and the PGA Tour is obviously fine with them. Fashion changes.

Probably!

It's just a pair of pants. It's not like it says "JUICY" across his butt or something.

I think when one of us labels himself as an old codger, as I have done more than a few times, its not unfair for a younger guy to agree.  I too don't like some of the current styles, and I too am admittedly an old codger.  All of you young whippersnappers out there, feel free to pile on!  :beer:

maybe a little poking fun, like I would expect/enjoy from any of my fraternity brothers…certainly not a biting insult.

The most offensive part of this pair of pants is not the cuff, but that they’re bordering on capris length 😜

It is actually quite shocking that we in 2021 are having this discussion. It's mindblowing that shorts are not allowed many placed where the temperatures reaches +30-40°C in 2021. I'm pretty sure that close to 100% of the tourpro's would wear shorts in the hottest locations/events if it was allowed. In all other sports you wear clothes that doesn't hinder your performance. Playing golf in 40°C in long pants is just crazy. It's time to lighten the rules on dresscode on courses around the world a bit now, we are not living in the 19th century anymore. PS! I don't mind those Van Rooyen joggers either, they're ok. 🙂   

In the bag: Callaway Mavrik SZ 10,5 driver (X stiff), Cobra King 4 wood (Stiff, 2006 model), Callaway Mavrik irons 4 - P+A (stiff), Cobra King Pur wedges 52, 56 and 60 (stiff) and Odessey white steel putter.  Very happy with the set and the gapping.

As I understand it, the PGA Tour is largely self-governing.  If the players really want to play in shorts, they can change the dress code.

And they don't because on the advice of their essentially "elected" officials, they realize that sponsors wouldn't like this, etc.

I actually find pants are cooler than shorts.  Hot weather and the sun directly on my skin is hotter than with the pants on.  Use cotton type pants and you will enjoy it more

I'm cool with the joggers. They've actually grown on me quite a bit.
But why would you want to wear joggers called "U Suck At Golf"?

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 8: 12/17/2024 Okay I took my new PPJ swing thought to the range today. I wasn't sure I was quite ready to do so, but I'm glad I did.  When I got it right it was good... really good. When I got it wrong it was a major fail. I hit lots of really ugly ones. But I didn't let that deter me. I stayed committed and focused on the PPJ and I avoided any temptation to go back to what I was doing before just so that I could "look" better at the range. I'm pretty excited about what I saw when I got it right.  I hit the 6 iron mostly (nearly all block work today). I also hit about 6 balls each with the PW, 8I, 5W and Driver. Those had varying degrees of success. I did crack one drive that let me feel and see what the changes will look like once I get fully trained.  Anyway, I'm going to go back to the mirror work for a couple of more days before bringing it back to the range. I do feel like if I can get this right my swing will improve a lot. So I think its worth the effort. I liked the way it looked on GEARs when I get it right, and I like the results I got at the range when I got it right. Now the goal is to work towards getting it right more often.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      So I think it's that they can't just bend the shaft or hosel to get it to a new lie angle. They adjust that and it changes the weighting, so they have to then adjust all the weights to get it balanced again. I get the impression that it's a bit of an iterative process and they do it all in the US, so they're paying US labor costs to build it and make it work how it's supposed to. Whether you believe in the tech or not, I think that's a true statement.

      Extremely outward path with a very closed club face. Maybe unless you have a stupidly weak grip, like right hand way over top, I don't think the grip is necessary highly correlated to this.
