A list of items serious golfers wouldn't be seen dead with. Some of this is sure to upset a few folks, but chill folks, it's tongue in cheek

Shorts
Golf isn't tennis and most golfers' legs aren't like Pete Sampas'. So cover them up please!

Towel Clipped to Belt
Just wrong. Like wearing a sporren without a kilt.

Novlety Ian Poulter Headcover
Why? One of the man is enough for most. Bet Monty hasn't got one.

Score Clicker
If you can't remember how many shots you've played, should you be playing at all?

Sponge Ball cleaner / Club Brush
Too many things dangling from your bag destroys all credibility. What's wrong with a towel?

Black Golf Glove
You're not Billy Idol, so don't do it!

Coloured Golf Balls
Another item only ever likely to boost the confidence of opponents

Ball Monogrammer
Why spend hours stamping your initials on your ball with a nut-cracker when you're going to lose it within milliseconds?

Ball Retreiver
Sends out alal the wrong messages about your golfing prowess to any opponent

Plastic castle / Fixed Height Tees
How are you supposed to vary tee height as and when conditions dictate with these fixed-height puppies?

Agree with most of them. Not sure about the shorts one and the black golf glove. I only wear pants during winter play. In a casual weekend round in the mid 90's, I'm not wearing pants. JB Holmes and Charley Hoffman might disagree about the golf glove.

Sponge Ball cleaner / Club Brush

Agree with all but that one. I have a brush - how else should I quickly and effectively clean my clubs?

No shorts? Good golfers are good athletes. Good athletes have athletic builds. Maybe shorts are no good for your chicken legs, but shorts are not something a serious golfer would object to.

HEY! I don't want to play the local muni wearing slacks in the muggy summer heat. And I definitely need the brush. I don't like carrying around a wet muddy towel that slaps everywhere and can't get into the grooves quickly. I pretty much agree with everything else. Maybe not the colored balls. If I get stuck with a pain in the butt, I'll start letting him see a pink ball get inside of his more often.

i disagree with these two. first off, i have never, ever, worn pants to golf; always just cargo khakis. who says golfers cant be athletic and have a nice legs?

also, i have no idea what id do without my brush. a little saliva on the club face then rub it down with my brush; leaves the club looking brand new.

Did you have it re-gripped pro-style, with the grip logo behind? lol

Agreed, some of us are in good shape, my 1.87m / 200lb frame included - no chicken legs here.

Personally, I prefer to play in shorts given the tropical climate I live in. However, not all golfers are athletic, so brontosaurus or heron legs should be covered - at all times.

Remember...this is tongue in cheek and all of us will be guilty of at least one of these sins, so there's no shame

Just imagine coming up against an opponent who has all these 10 things - you've got him beaten before you even tee off!

in texas, you're considered an OUTCAST if you wear pants while golfing.

I heard a lot of conventional things are considered outcast in Texas?

Shorts are a must. So is a club brush. And for the black glove, I only wear a set in the winter.

    • This is pretty much how I look at it.  I understand there are times when the piece of mind has value. I think over the long haul I'm money ahead by never buying the extended warrantee. Hell, What do I know? I went to Ch!cago PubIic SchooIs.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
