As soon as they're past you they're gone forever. Just like a stranger teeing off.

What sort of an f-wit criticises someone for dressing nicely on a golf course.

BTW -  Here's an example of some of the AWESOME Travis  Mathew stuff. Absolutely incredible. Unbelievably "out there". Cool AND AWESOME!!!!!!

You'd better be able to play if you wear their gear.

Whatever Shorty.  Drssing nicely is one thing.  Dressing head to toe in the latest and greatest then shotting a 100 is different.  You are crazy if you don't think people notice players on a course that can play or look like they can play.  And top 10 dumbest post.  That is just crazy.  Sorry my opinion isn't yours.  F U buddy.

And flat brim hats can only be worn under the age of 25.  You are just too old to be cool after that.

Wait, are you ****ing serious? Thats one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. You have to be a good golfer to dress in nice golf clothes. LOL.

I for one was (still am) being raised to ALWAYS look nice. My mom got that from her mom who was all Italian and had old fashioned morals. I'll wear a white belt, khaki shorts and a golf polo. But sometimes, mainly when it's colder, I like a white, some sort of sweatervest, long pants, one of those no brim classic hats. I think I play better, when I look better.

In the short time I've been on here, I've noticed shorty likes to belittle people to make himself feel good so I wouldn't worry about it.  Plus anyone that uses caps and multiple exclamation marks shouldn't be able to get under your skin.

OMG THESE ARE SUCH CUTE CLOTHES BOYS WE'RE ALL GONNA LOOK SO TRENDY ON THE GOLF COURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DID I MENTION THEY'RE COOL AND AWESOME AND FANTASTIC AND SWEET AND RAD? BUT DON'T WEAR THEM UNLESS YOU SHOT 73 TODAY LIKE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HEHEHE

So I came in at 89 today at Teh Ranch CC in CO. I was wearing Snake Eyes shorts and a Fila shirt. Kinda matched, kinda didn't. If you watched me on #1 you saw me get it out there. Did I go low enough to sport golf duds or not? My round was a bit sloppy. A freakin' triple on 10 and a quad on 16 after hitting 2 trees. Missed a few gimmes to spoil the round. Just want to know if I earned enough points with the judges to wear a visor next time out.

LOL!  I was thinking the same thing about myself this morning.  I even almost took a picture of my outfit today ... White Titleist hat, Purple Nike golf shirt, Ping light grey shorts, Snake Eyes grey belt, White Ecco street shoes.

What is the over/under for being allowed to wear an outfit like that?  (I shot an 85 ... I hope that's OK, cuz I like the clothes, I don't wanna have to throw them out)

Ok, on the one hand, there are threads on this board chastising those who don't dress in "approved" golfing clothes.  Then on the other, we have this comment.

So I guess the message is, "You have to wear clothes made of polyester and spandex to play golf but you can't wear the latest versions of those clothes until you can post a score of par or better.   Anything higher and you are banned from the course!"

Really, who (besides you) cares what another player is wearing?   If someone wants to go spend a small fortune on the "latest and greatest" and can afford to do so, that is their business and their business alone.

Since the average score of the average golfer is somewhere right around 100, I am sure the companies making this stuff are glad your opinion is not the same as the majority of their customers.

You would have been ok if not for the purple shirt...    Gotta be under 80 to wear that.

Well I personally agree with Lefty, I'm a pretty good player and you're still not gonna see me out there dressed like a tool.

And you guys need to get it through your head that depending on where people are from, there are going to be differences in dress code.  At my course, not one person will be wearing a white belt.  This thread was meant for posting your own opinion, who (besides you) cares what someone else's opinion is?

Ha!  Next time I'll go a little more conservative with the shirt unless I know I'm stripin' it.

MI get my slacks and shorts at Academy for $15 (Arizona brand).  They're well made and have rubber lining on the inside waist to keep shirts tucked in.  Shirts, I wear a few FJ pique striped polos from different clubs but for the most part Snake Eyes polos in primary colors, which I get 3 for $20.

Shoes are the one piece of apparel that is worth spending $ on in my opinion as they affect your game much more than clothes.

I feel very comfortable in my clothes despite the bargain prices because they fit well, and well let's not beat around the bush, I could wear anything and make it look good. ;)

That all being said, as long as clothes fit well and are clean, then any pair of slacks and collar shirt will suffice.  I might make a comment about someone's neon yellow shirt but I won't lose any respect for them just because they prefer a certain color.

Frankly, as long as you're not wearing baggy cargo shorts, jeans or tee-shirts or other sloppy looking attire....you can be as bright and cheery as you wanna be.

People who strut around like they have game when they clearly have none are irritatingly funny regardless what they're wearing.

I shoot under 100, but I am no scratch player. I guess I should wear gym shorts and a cut off sleeve t shirt until I am good enough to wear my current golf clothing.

Did Shorty have his tongue firmly in cheek when he threw out that unbaited hook or not? Got a lot of bites anyhow. Wearing the latest and greatest is not a prerequisite but dressing for the occasion is.

    • Woof. Not good. 8:40 to 8:50, blah. I know the grip is turned a bit to the left in that part of the video (face is closed a bit), but… no. Not that.
    • Eh. You're tricking yourself. You can still miss right or left, and what you've created is a situation where you HAVE to miss (but the right amount) to make the putt. That's not for me.
    • I can see a point in this.  If you play a straigth 3 footer with a square face aiming at the hole, you can miss both ways, with a close face or an open one. If you aim rigth an close the face at impact (like tiger used to do), physically you can still miss left or rigth but mentally you are only missing left (closed face) and having only 1 miss can give you a boost in confidence. I putt this way on fade putts and aim left and open the face on draw putts, never liked the uncerteinty of putting square to the target.  I apply something like this on approach shots, only use low or high shots and for middle shots I use a low shot with more loft ot a high shot with less loft. This shots are always what they meat low or high, a middle one can go a little towards the high and the low depending on the AoA of each shot making it mentally a little more uncertain what is going to be.  
    • Yeah, I'm not sure if he is genuine or not either but that's not why I'm giving him props.
