My wife and I both own a nice looking hooded Izod golf windbreaker, the kind that folds up into its own pocket. Mine is red, hers is khaki. I sometimes borrow hers. It fits me a bit tighter because it is a size M mine is a Large.   They are both men's jackets or gender neutral I guess. I suppose my answer to your question is: I won't wear golf clothes designed specifically for women.

In my  bag:

Driver, Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 9.5 stiff

3, 5 woods: Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 15,18 degrees Stiff

2 hybrid: Callaway Diable Edge Tour 18 degrees R (out when the 5 wood is in)

3,6 hybrids: Callaway Diablo Edge 21 S and 30 degrees R

4,5 hybrids: Callaway Razr X HL 24 and 27 degrees Stiff

7-AW irons: Callaway Razr HL graphite R shafts 

SW 54 Callaway X Series Jaws CC Slate Fujikura Graphite Stiff

Putter: Odessey White Ice 1 Blade Putter. 

Ball...looking for any ball that hates water, sand, long grass, and getting lost in the woods. 

I can't find any, so forced to use ones that seem to love all the above.

Just buy it for your wife and you can still enjoy looking at it. Be glad that the salesperson saved you from buying it for yourself.

Do what you gotta do, but don't be surprised if your buddies tear into you every chance they get. "Great, the guy wearing women's clothes is beating me" "Hit it with your purse"

Don't dip your shoulder so low, I dunno if it'll help your swing but it'll keep yer purse from sliding off. :-D

Yours in earnest, Jason.

The most painful part is that my buddy's wife used that fanny pack line on him... She's pretty competitive.

Dragon - if you like it and it fits, go for it. If anyone breaks your balls, just tell them you're man enough to wear whatever the hell you want

I wouldn't, just because, well it's for women. I can hear it now. You hit a putt that's too short " Don't forget your purse."

I just believe that there are so many options out there that I'm sure you'll be able to find something in the mens section. But if you really like and you don't care, why not?

In my bag:

R1 Taylor Made Driver

R11 Taylor Made 3 Wood

3 & 4 Taylor Made Burner Hybrids

or

PW - 4 Mizuno MP-32 Irons (depending on how I'm feeling)

52,56,60 Mizuno Wedges

White Ice Odyssy Putter

Nike RZN Balls

Hey you could wear worse things while on the fairway, like flip flops.

Can we just have a sub forum for women only?

then people can talk about jewelry, watches, sunglasses and cargo shorts over there.  (and how expensive their cars are and how hot their girlfriends are too)

The guy on the course that can eyeball a jacket and tell that it's made for women is probably wearing women's clothing himself.  I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. If I see a guy wearing a jacket with "contrast" designs on the front that accentuate hips/chest to that of a silhouette of a woman, it's fairly obvious he's wearing his wife's coat. I wouldn't say anything to them because it's not my place or my business, but I will sure as hell get a little laugh out of it.

Can also tell because the zipper is on the wrong side.

In addition to golf, my other big hobbie is shooting sporting clays (shooting clay discs with a shotgun)

I use a belt pouch to carry my shotgun shells.

I needed a warm vest for winter shooting and all men's vests reached too far down, getting in the way of my shell pouch.

I needed a vest that would fit my torso but would only extend down to my belt line.

Bingo, a large size women's vest. Nobody seems to notice, and if they do I don't care.

    • 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?
