Jorts...lol, should be illegal.

I'll probably catch some crap for this, but same goes for cargo shorts. No one needs to carry that much sh*t with them.

I wear cargo shorts sometimes, but they're not the big bulky ones...they're just typical fashion-y ones from Express. And they're uncomfortable as all hell to golf in, but the only shorts I have. Haha.

Saw some basketball shoes posing as golf shoes with cleats on Golfsmith's website.  You can get nearly every type of hat (Titleist Ping Callaway) in flat bill now.  There was a flat bill Titleist at golfsmith in the FJ/Titleist section and I about puked.  If we're not careful, urban "style" will creep into golf like it has creeped into our public schools

Now that I don't get. Is someone out there trying to make a half court shot for a prize at the turn?

Those are simply Nike's version of a rain shoe. Those are the Zoom Bandons. They have nothing to do with basketball or anything "urban". Sheesh people we cant have it both ways, everyone wants to grow the game but only if you wear the hats we like and your shorts can't have too many pockets. I think flat Brim hats look rather silly but Im not gonna look at anyone sideways becasue they have one on. When Im on the course the last thing on my mind is what the next grown man is wearing.

They very much look like basketball shoes, which when worn while not playing basketball, could be considered "urban" right along with flat billed caps...ESPECIALLY with the stickers still on.

They look like cleats to me, those can very well pass for lineman or linebacker football cleats. I've even seen baseball players wear high top or mid cleats. But Im not here to debate whats urban or not because that would be way off topic.

Fair enough. I couldn't care less what people wear to the course as long as they're courteous and respectful to the other people there. I've seen guys in tank tops who were awesome, and guys in full golf attire who were pricks.

That makes sense. Though if it's raining that much I don't want to be out there. However perfect for winter golf here, lots of muddy spots if you don't keep it on the fairway after the snow melts.

This. If it's raining (or has rained) so much that I need specialized shoes to play golf, I'm not playing golf.

Totally agree. I did read a review on these shoes a while back and everyone seemed to agree they are great for keeping you dry even in puddles, but you really have to make an effort to shift your weight. I guess do to the high top nature of the shoe. That was enough for me, I dont need anything making it harder to get to my left side.

I never realized how important shoes are in wet weather until I played a round with a couple friends, and afterwards they were bitching about their feet and socks just being soaking wet. Meanwhile, I'm sitting there like "wtf are you guys talking about? My feet are dry as a bone"

I hadn't even noticed quite how soggy it was. And I just have run of the mill FJ's.

Yeah I've never had that problem either. I have an old pair of last year's TW shoes that I wear when it's wet and never had an issue.

Thanks for pointing out that they are Nikes and made for the rain.  I couldn't tell that myself, even though I found them on Golfsmith and took the time to post the picture.

That being said, I don't care if they're made by Adidas and they're made for the month of MARCH only, they're freakin UGLY and they look like basketball shoes.  Yes they have urban appeal, and yes they are ugly in my opinion.  And yes, I believe that they appeal to the same person that an oversized flat bill hat appeals to.

I know plenty of impressionable young golfers at the courses I play who are growing up to be exceptional gentlemen and not dressing like rap stars with oversized flat bill hats and giant high top sneakers.

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
