haha, yea your probably right I dont get as sweaty as a game of basketball but I sweat alot golfing, sometimes I get headaches after a round from the heat. Pro's do have a caddie and dont have to carry their clubs so thats an advantage.
-
Well the big difference here is we are talking about a sport, not a office job or whatever. Pro tennis players play tennis as their daily job but wear shorts, basketball same. I play many sports and on the golf course I get just as hot and sweaty as playing other sports.
-
They allow the pro women to wear shorts because it will draw more viewers, I doubt that is the reason haha. I think that would be the opposite of professionalism and go into sexist or whatever
-
yea Im pretty sure the PGA tour for men is the only tournaments where no shorts is a rule, and I think European tour. AM's are allowed to wear shorts
-
well yes I like to look at womens legs over men but thats not a logical reason.
-
So do you think male pro golfers should be banned from wearing shorts during competition? I can't think of one logical reason for shorts to be banned for men in competition. We know pro girls can wear them. What are your thoughts?

Pants or Shorts in Summer
RedFox999 replied to jgreen85's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
if you wear shorts that are the same moisture wicking material, like nike, UA etc they will keep you more cool outside than pants of the same material. If this wasnt the case then golfers would be wearing long sleeve shirts instead of short sleeve to keep cooler. Only thing pants do is protect your legs from getting sun burnt btw - Why can't pro's wear shorts during competition? Basketball you wear shorts, tennis, baseball you dont because you have to slide on ground and would ruff up your legs. There isnt really any physical reason for pro's to have to wear pants -
Pants or Shorts in Summer
RedFox999 replied to jgreen85's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
pants are too hot for me when its hot outside, even the expensive breathable ones. Its like wearing a long sleeve shirt and saying its cooler than a short sleeved shirt -
I agree we need to keep up the pace of play but if we played at the pace the pros do, we would never make good time. I get they are playing for money and we arent though. The pro's are some of the slowest players Ive seen because they take their time on each shot selecting clubs, checking wind, yardages, checking greens etc

One time I hit my drive right down the middle of this tight fairway, my playing partner duffs his shot like 3 times to catch up to mine. Im standing over my ball about to hit when he says "hurry up, we have these guys catching up". That PO'd me, he probably took 3 times as much time as me and tells me to hurry, lol, needless to say I missed the green
-
Ive been hit from behind by someone going about 40 mph while I was at a dead stop, had my license for only 3 weeks when this happened, not cool. We were fine too but the next day you guys will have a little whiplash that will last a bit.

How about this pair of pants?
RedFox999 replied to adamgoodman's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
jeez guys, lay off the guy. Theses are Loudmouth pants, all their designs are bold like this. I actually would want a pair of Loudmouth pants for occasions, John Daly wears these kind of pants to every tournament. You ever see the Orange outfit Rickie wears, In golf its fun to wear stuff like this- but alot more fun if you are good,lol -
I think its good that negative rep isnt on the forum here anymore. Ive seen it many places and the only way it can be used properly is when there is a list of rules posted that would fall under negative point worthy instead of difference of opinion and what not (which seems to be the majority of the negative)
-
what do you mean by closed on the downswing? curious as to what you mean
-
thats why Id never live in Canada, their winters are just a little too much
-
I dont think Tiger will be leaving Foley for a very long time if he actually even does. Just dont see it happening, Tiger really wants to protect his knee and this will be a good swing for him once he gets to Hunter mahans level with it. I know Ive talked against foley and Tiger a little in the past but my opinion has changed. I think he would be sucking (as much as Tiger can/not winning) if he were still under haney right now. btw, I think its kinda stupid that all the S&T; gang say Foley is teaching Tiger via Dan or Andy. Who cares if they bounce stuff off each other, thats part of learning. You dont always want just one perspective
-
what kinda shaft do you have in your driver? One thing to consider, when you pull the ball, the flight will often be alot lower than desired.

I won a scotty ..... yet to choose one ....
RedFox999 replied to Gerald's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
too bad you cant wait until this fall to get it. Scotty Cameron is coming out with their new line then. The line replacing the studio select is called tour rat, needless to say they are sweet, alot of tour designs -
those legal medical marjiuana distributors could be abused easily. Im not sure if there are certain guidlines on how much you can buy in a week or whatever but whoever wants pot from these shops just needs a friend with a marijuana license to buy it for them.
-
man, im not even sure if I would of counted that as a miss if I was just playing a casual round. Probably would of replace it in its original spot if I accidental nicked it with my practice stroke. Only time I wouldnt is if it was a round for money or in competition. This isnt a common occurance so, no big deal
-
i dont think he cares for mizuno drivers much, nothing new for tour guys. Last year he was using a Titleist 909 driver so its not just taylormade that hes comfortable with
-
What do you guys think of this video clip about Tigers swing at wgc. Goes with what Miller, Butch etc are was saying with the problem with teaching a method to all players instead of working with their strengths
-
especially for a guy of Tigers ability, hes got a good grasp on the swing by now. It may not be perfect but we've got an idea of how hes going to play with this swing. I think its cool hes swinging this way, but in all honesty I dont think he should of switched swings because Haney left him, which is the reason why. He had no intentions of changing swings before Haney left.
