Temps ~40 degrees C. So shorts are allowed during practice in Eurasia Cup? Guess so. Probably not during competition.

How humid is it?  540 R is about the point where I start needing to wear shorts instead of pants when playing (judgment call or pants below that).

I have no idea why golf pros do not wear shorts.

Professional golf should join the 20th century.

Tennis has joined the 20th century and no longer requires whites shirts and white shorts only.

Golf is supposed to be an athletic sport so why not shorts in hot weather.

Maybe then it will finally shed its stuffy image.

I live in Malaysia and it is always hot and humid here! Lately a few degrees hotter. I play with pants sometimes and a lot if times if they are in a light color it is cooler than sun directly on the skin.

Might go and watch some of the play but the course is quite boring overall. The sponsors own the facility and of course wants it to be played there.

For me pants work better than shorts, provided they are light coloured, cotton and breathable.  No direct sun on your body reduces the heat you feel.  Don't see the need for shorts on the PGA tour.  Think on TV the look also does matter.  After all, TV is what led to the players getting such high pay cheques

Same for me.  I alway wear a long pants precisely for this reason.  No direct sun and no sunscreen to put on.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
