Pants/Slacks or Shorts??

[Grapo]

A UK perspective. It seems to be a generally accepted rule that jeans are frowned upon, even on public courses. I'm a relative newbie who hasn't even broken 100, but I still respect the heritage and etiquette of the game and would never wear jeans. I always make sure I'm wearing a collared shirt too.

Look decent, comply with course rules, be comfortable.

I don't think anyone has asked for more and you can do ALL of those things in either shorts OR pants.

You mean like how condescending you are about people who wear pants??? The ironing is delicious. Lol.

I don't really care what others wear, I have always preferred pants. I also don't wear shorts that often in my day to day, more of a pants wearing kind of guy, but I do wear shorts sometimes (including on the golf course) and am certainly not passionately opposed to them as you seem to be with pants.

This topic really seems to wind you up.

We should ask him what he thinks about people who wear designer jeans while watching soccer???

Or people who wear most anything while watching soccer.  Or just people who watch soccer (not including parents of kids playing recreational soccer.

I'll wear Dockers when it's cold... but I'll stick to my khaki cargo shorts pretty much all year... North Texas. I'd wear those khaki shorts made for golf but they are too short for my taste and too tight in the crotch for my junk... and yes I mostly leave my polo shirt untucked... don't think anyone where I play cares a whole lot.

I wear long pants out of necessity and for practical reason.  I don't need to apply sun block on my legs but, more importantly, it helps me protect from environment when I am in  bushes looking for my ball.  Some of those bushes come with thorns, and a rattlesnake may be hiding ....

For the first time in 4 years of golfing, a starter noticed that my wife was wearing something that was close to a jean and made fun of it (his way of nicely telling us that she needs to have right attire).  For women and those men in Scotland, OP should open a parallel thread asking skirt or slack.
