You mean the LPGA? I think you know: Because, whether for good or for bad, their ability to market themselves includes not just how well they play golf but on how good they look. If they all wore pants, TV ratings would drop like a stone, along with sponsors and prize money.

They can look as good or as bad as they want and there are both extremes on that Tour. I would say more extremes than on the PGA Tour.

Not sure what point you're making. I'm just saying sex sells, that's why LPGA players wear shorts. I'm not saying that's the only reason people watch the LPGA, I'm just saying it's a huge factor. And that it's hardly a factor at all for the men. (There might be a few coffee shop waitresses who prefer Tiger's shirts are as tight-fitting as possible, but that's about it.)

I was trying to subtly say that some of the women should consider wearing pants and that some of the outfits are out there. Yes, there are others that pull it off with no problem (no pun intended).

I know plenty marines that wont wear shorts and insist on ewaring 2 shirts when running/hiking here in hawaii and on the mainland. You actually stay cooler somehow. I cant. But I know my bro wears two shirts no matter what were doing and sweats a lot less. I grew up caddying at winged foot an dyou couldnt wear shorts. Caddies or members. I asked my mom once and she said Noone wants to see old Mr. Wyatts wrinkled legs. lol

I suppose those would technically be cargo pants, but theyr'e not the heinous creations that got banned. You know the ones you can wear to a barbecue and you don't need to bring a cooler. 6-pack of Coors in this pocket, barbecue sauce in that one, pickles anyone?

Heh, ok I see what you meant now. Yeah, on the PGA side, some of those guys might consider a girdle. Worked for William Shatner.

the ones in the picture are from the senior open earlier in the year. the ones he wore at the boeing classic looked like he was going hiking.

I got one - since men arent allowed to wear shorts but women are allowed in skirts, why dont men just start wearing skirts if you guys think thats such a urgent matter?

E.g -

- the sunday outfit would be a great match for Ian Poulters liking, and maybe Saturday fits well with Tiger? Alternatively they still could go the scottish route...

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
