What's the most "Look at me" thing you have ever seen while playing golf?

Just my opinion but it may be because it's how the pros dress.  It's got be pretty brutal to wear pants in summer heat so you don't see many recreational players wearing pants.

Pants can be cooler than shorts.

It’s not showy at all.

Only because a lot of recreational golfers don't realise that wearing long pants made out of the correct material keeps you cooler and more comfortable. I play high 30 degrees C weather in long pants and have never for a moment wished I was wearing shorts.

Protection from bites from ticks and other bugs. Less sun block required as well.

Well yeah, you sort of need pants when it's 30 degrees out. I can't imagine wearing shorts in that weather, and I'll wear shorts in 50 degree weather no problem.

 

 

I think the staff bag with your name on it is the showiest thing I've seen. That said, I'd bet there are people who say I'm pretty showing. I've got the TST Newport Cup headcover, game golf on one hip, GPS on the other hip, and custom yardage book cover. It's pretty ridiculous all together.

C not F

I'm saying that in 100 degrees F long pants are more comfortable. The right ones. Not jeans or chinos.

39 degrees celsius is about 102 degrees Farenheit.

Probably the guy who turned up at the range wearing white from head to toe. Looked like Randall & Hopkirk deceased if they played on the PGA tour!. All white, all Taylormade. Talyormade staff bag and clubs. Must have been a couple of £k he was wearing and carrying.

He knew people would stop to look at him which made it all the more hillarious when he swung his driver and let go of it. Kept asking for people to stop hitting so he could get it and nobody did.

They’re probably more focused on the fact that you’re scoring pars and birdies while they’re struggling to score bogies.

But your name is shorty...🤔

I’ll go with the person who talks a great game, knows all the lingo, staff bag, dressed like Fowler, top shelf clubs but appears to play to a 30 that day at a muni.

Enough for me.

On the range, grunting loudly after you hit every shot ? While not really hitting it all that far. Maybe more annoying than look at me. That's all I got.

It is brutal.

At least in my case, I don't have legs that ought to be displayed in public.

I like the guys that try to compare what clubs you are hitting on par 3s or approach shots that are similar distance.  We have a 170 yard par 3 completely over water with 2 bunkers behind the hole.  I step up with a 6 iron (5 iron if its into the wind) and play it to the middle of the green, and they ask what club that was.  They look at me kinda crazy when I say 6 iron (or 5).  "How cant you get a 7 iron there" is the usual response.  Well...I can, but why not hit a 3/4 flighted 6 iron to be sure it gets there instead?  Love the "what's your distance with (insert club here) guys".

^^^ is a good one. There is a considerable subset of this game that is preoccupied/fascinated with hitting as far as possible. They don't care if they shoot a 96 as long as they will hit a few monster shots. They want you to watch them do it and they love to brag about it.

Ya it’s pretty hilarious.  Besides one buddy I play with that is stupid long with his driver, I am usually one of the longest hitters in my group...but I am always hitting one or even two more irons than the rest of them because I like 3/4 swings and flighting the ball, to me it’s fun.  They can’t wrap their heads around it..haha

They're the "Timmy" of the golf world.  They just want big numbers, and don't care what else happens.  I'd say a fair few of us here are the "Spike" type players, studying, trying to improve ourselves and get lower scores as that's more along the lines of "winning" golf...
