Weezy

Yes i know what they are called. And once again you completely glom over the intent of my statement. I said there is a problem with the dress code not with shorts in general. I guess I am the only one who has thought about it. The fact it offends people means it must be correct or it would just be dismissed. I asked everyone to think how stupid it is to have a dress code and allow shorts. That is all. I gave my opinion on the look and that should be no reason not to wear them. I truly feel that the dress code will be a thing of the past relatively soon and that is fine by me. I hate the fact that someone is turned away for not wearing proper attire and the fact that these same people (you evidently) will do so while wearing the epitome of laid back, super casual, beach cruising attire is pathetic.

This is what i was talking about, there right up there above me. He just said he wears shorts then bitches about the dress code not being enforced. The ridiculousness of that statement is appalling. No i don't think shorts look good nor do I think they are inappropriate, however they do not fit in with any dress code ever designed. You can't even wear them to work. The fact people know you went golfing without asking lends itself to how ridiculous you look trying to pull of a "dressy" look with shorts on. Get it now? If you are going to allow shorts then by my estimates you have to allow other forms of casual clothing such as collarless shirts. I have some that are polo shirts without the collar yet i cant play with those on. This is my gripe. I don't wear shorts with polos because that look is ridiculous to me, and apparantly everyone who doesn't golf since you never see it done anywhere else. A fanny pack is very handy but i refuse to wear one.

Most swing flaws come from sequencing. Hips go then shoulders then arms.

It does somewhat thow my game off but its much more fun to play with those guys. I hate playin with people around my handicap because they all think they are a putt away from fame and riches and throw hissy fits when the inevitable happens. It happens everytime they play so why the animosity? I dunno.

I had an old wooden 3 wood that split on my right at the hoseld, head juction. It was old, it was light blue, im pretty sure it was a womans club, it had a steel shaft, and I loved it....tear

That looks like he just parachuted in with those xxxxxxl clothes on. It could be a cultural thing i suppose. Men don't wear shorts around here much. My opinion is a (non-casual) dress code in any other area of life will not allow shorts, ever. So saying they are classy is just skirting the social norm of shorts=casual. If you can argue with that then there is no hope for you. You guys just keep hammering me as an eliteist while I am actually laughing at eliteist behavior. Basically i am saying that golf company's invented "formal" shorts haha can't even say that without laughing, because people want to play with shorts on. Fine i don't dig the style myself but whatever. However they invented these shorts so that they could keep their dress code relatively non casual. Yeah polos are in the same boat. If i had my drothers i would play without a collar, but i can't however they allow you to wear shorts. The fact i have had to explain this is disheartening. It is my opinion that they look ridiculous. You don't see people getting ripped for talking about ugly clubs or terrible shoes. whats the difference?

Sarah is a biatch. If you can't stand someone doin some gloating and that shakes you up then quit competitive sports of any kind, right now. A great player will find your weakness and exploits it.

Herein lies the answer to this debate. Shorts are allowed for the sole reason that alot of people won't play in pants in the really hot places. They aren't allowed because they look appropriate or "classy", they don't, hence the ban on the PGA tour. Cutting the legs off a pair of golf pant does not create "nice" shorts. At least aknowledge that they are a "wink" at the rules.

This topic is basically how to get effortless power which louis clearly has or he has fooled alot of people who have been commenting on it. Jeez you guys just look for something to argue about. Yes he hits the ball hard but it doesn't look like he is as opposed to tiger, phil, jb holmes, all the long drive guys etc etc.

Like who? Ernie? He is the only one even close to Louis' laid back tempo. Everyone else takes a rip at it.

Only if he is polishing his shaft. The club is ok hahaha

What he said. I don't like that people make rules then alter them at their whim while maintaining a derrogatory attitude towards people who also don't follow the rules. That is my point in a nutshell.

I think the reason people are talking about it is because he has a very smooth, non aggressive and relatively short swing and still hits it miles.

I am no troll, i have been attacked for stating my opinion. Over dress code i might add. Its rediculous to get angry because someone dislikes a certain trend. I would never make fun or attack someone over it. Never even mentioned anything to the popped pink collar dude in my previous post. Just observations.

How are they not the same? What makes one pair of shorts different from another? Material? It is funny the lengths people will go to justify blatant disregard for the dress code, which as i said i don't care for in the slightest, but to say that there i such a thing as formal shorts is laughable. You get a clue. Show up at another event that has a dress code in your "nice" shorts and see if you get in. Just to prove a point who here thinks cargo shorts are appropriate?

Yes he looks ridiculous good to see you are getting it. Btw there is another photo of him playing in cargo shorts , do you think those should be allowed. Its not the fact that i think shorts are not for golf its the fact that people like you guys are horrified to see a t shirt on a course and will say so while wearing shorts. IMO you can't allow one and not the other. If its the athletic notion then why not sleveless jerseys? My point is the hypocricy being shown is unbelievable. Ask Hogan about shorts on the golf course. I guess i am also just amused that people wear shorts because they think they look good.

Why all the animosity? I can think shorts look stupid just like you can say they don't. Sorry but shorts are for kids and girls. I guess i just don't like seeing men's hairy legs.

I am surprised that no one knew that the look is horrible to be honest. But it is just in the mode of fashion, if it is hot then by all means go for it. But to say golf should be played in shorts is ridiculous because the same people who will show up in shorts will gripe about how they hate the new skater type shoes or how you should dress traditionally and blah blah all while wearing shorts. Seriously thy will bitch about people not respecting the classiness of golf while they are wearing shorts, its ludicrous. It just goes to show what sheep people are and will do what everyone else is doing rather than actually thinking about what is going on. There are no such thing as dress shorts fellas sorry but there isn't. If you are gonna require a dress code then no shorts should be rule number one imo. But that is just my opinion.

Well i'm sure he doesn't miss em on purpose. I think he has neglected his putting some to get his swing in order.

Polos are considered dress shirts in my opinion as you won't find anyone wearin em to work in (manual labor). Also a recent pole of women found that sandals was one of the worst fasion mistakes a man can make..so no they don't look fine with or without shorts. Leave the sandals in the sand box kiddies.

I have seen the world.....and it is tacky! Why do you think they don't let pros wear em? Cus they are evil? Nope they look ridiculous. I even like the new kikkor shoes, just not with shorts. In my opinion unless you are swimming or are a woman, don't break out the shorts. No one wants to look at your hairy nasty legs. No one

I use itomics occasionally and they are huge compared to my golf pride tour wrap 2g, the tour wraps are great, i have never had someon pick up one of my clubs without commenting on how they love the grips. Never, not one person!

Some courses close bunkers that have standing water and you get a free drop as a local rule.

I think if your gonna wear shorts then go ahead and wear a t shirt too. Name one other place you will see someone in a dress shirt and shorts lol AND with what basically amounts to dress shoes if you wear classics etc. You look like an english schoolboy

I love em but they get slick easily. Good thing is they don't soak in water so you can wipe them off easily.
