This can be big medicine at private-equity clubs. My former boss was a member at Bellerive CC in St. Louis, and he was put on probation for 6 months for leaving his shirttail out on a 100° F day.

Vg, if you leave your shirttail out when wearing cargo shorts... your picture might end up on a milk carton!

Asking peopel not to play in jeans is really just saving them from themselves. Who on earth would do that.

 

I think men look like idiots in shorts, but I'm ok with someone wearing nice ones on the course

I know a couple guys who will golf in jeans. I never would, although I rarely wear jeans to being with. However, early morning in early April or late October can be quite cold, so I understand the reasoning!

The only reason I can see not to wear jeans on the course is that they're kind of restrictive (at least the way I wear them.)  Otherwise, it's all just fabric meant to hide your shame (yeah, yours, not mine... my hands are huge ;-)) and it doesn't really matter to me.

I played Penobscot Valley CC in Orono Maine (used to be a private course), last Friday.  I get out of my car and one of my fathers friends (they were both policeman and I took his daughter to the Junior Prom) was sitting in his cart right across from where I parked.    

He had on jean cutoff shorts, a white tee shirt with red suspenders and was wearing a gun.  It was too funny.  :-D

golf pants and collard golf shirt, temps get over 105 with crazy high humidity in the summer. 

 

Personally I find jeans to be very uncomfortable and restrictive, which would make them bad for golf.

Heat indexes here in Bama through the summer are routinely 105.  As I walk and carry, if I wore pants, they'd find me dead in the 5th fairway looking like I'd fallen into a lake.  Okay....maybe 'in the fairway' is a stretch.  ;-)  Likely the left greenside bunker.

Golf shorts 6 months out of the year, for me.  And the moisture-wicking golf apparel branded ones.  Maybe they have pants that material...I dunno.

It's 105 right now here without heat index. I would wear pants golfing. They are lightweight wicking material.

Fair enough - to each his own.  I'm fortunate the norm here at my home CC (in mid summer) is shorts.  We have a collar, tuck & belt rule to keep a tidy look, but if shorts are the norm, when in Rome...

WOW 105 and pants is tough to fathom.  I would never wear jeans to the course but have seen it a few times.

Like most here, a nice collard golf shirt, dress shorts and soft spike shoes is all one needs to look nice, be comfy and have some fun.

It depends on the course and the weather for me. If I'm walking at a crappy course and its hot outside I might wear a t shirt and shorts. However if I'm in a cart and on a nicer course I almost always wear a polo with dress pants.

I wear jeans to play during most of the "off" season (and for virtually everything else too).  If it's too cold for shorts, then I'll usually be in jeans.  There is nothing restrictive about them if you actually buy sensibly.  I wear mostly Wrangler relaxed fit.  

If you buy the rather impractical skinny fit style, then of course you won't be able to move in them.  Those are "urban" jeans.  You wouldn't catch a farmer or rancher wearing anything that he can't move freely in.

One more little peeve before I go away.  "Collard" is a type of vegetable, mostly eaten in the south, i.e. "Collard greens".  Shirts are "collared". :whistle:

      Pitching

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Depends on the lie, pin location, green.  I would say most of my pitches are with my 60-degree.  Its probably like 90% 60-degree, 10% 56 degree.

      Depends on my lie and the green I am working with. If I want to fly and stop, my 58* If I am looking for it to run a bit, my 54* And on occasion if the lie and green call for it, punch and run with my 7i

      RTJ Trail Itinerary (5 Days From ATL) — Thoughts?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I did the RTJ trail, we just did Grand National and Capitol Hill. We were trying to minimize travel time. It gave us 5 courses to play. You pare playing 3 of the 5 we played.  If I had to pick, I would play the Lakes over the Links at Grand National. Links felt too penal on approach shots. If you can't get height or spin, it felt like every ball that hit the center of the green ran off the back. A lot of the greens require force carry, no running it up. It just wasn't that fun to play.   Judge - Really good course, some really cool holes and terrain.   Senator - Really fun open course. They call it link style, I can't remember how much you can play the ball down, but it has the aesthetic appeal.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I do that at the range; I just have been going through a half-assed pre-shot routine. 😇 I just kind of waltz up to the ball and hit it. I catch myself just going through the motions of aiming. Once I started aligning my club to an intermediate target, I felt like I was aligned way open to the target but just trusted it. Like, if the club was aimed at the flag in the middle of the green, then my body was aligned left of the green or more (assuming something like a 100+ yard shot). I think I was more concerned with where my feet were lined up and not the clubface.  A question on alignment then.  So, the ball is like what, 3-FT away from the toe target line. So, does that mean if my toe line is aimed at the flag, the club is aimed 3-ft right? Does the perception of the green looking smaller in the distance impact that in terms of how we hit the shot? I feel like the geometry should work that the ball is actually aimed 3-FT right.
