Hey fine people,

I've been watching golf for the best part of 12 months now and I've never seen any player with notable tattoos on their arms.
You could denounce this as a silly topic and I wouldn't blame you, but I was wondering if there was perhaps some sort of rule forbidding tattoos on Tour.

Are there any players with Tattoos on Tour?

Well, it's been a long time since Lee Buck Trevino was on the PGA Tour; he had some tattoos, at least one of which he always put a band-aid or tape over. I think it was his first or second wife's name, but wouldn't bet the house on my memory being perfect.

http://www.vanishingtattoo.com/tatto...orts_stars.htm says Lee Trevino, Seve Ballesteros & Tiger Woods are tattooed members of the golf world.

I went to the first round of the Women's U.S. Open recently and saw at least two or three tattoos on players but don't recall who or the physical location of the tattoos.

Hey fine people,

I think there's a rule about looking respectable or something like that. It really depends on the tattoo. If Darren Clarke had a tattoo commemorating Heather, I doubt they'd send him packing. If someone showed up looking like Dennis Rodman, he might have trouble. I think it's similar to the slacks; they don't explicitly require the pants that almost everyone wears, but you don't see too many of them gambling on whether the tour would accept 3/4 length pants.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
