You should not have overly big pockets or look like you were painting your house 30 minutes prior to teeing off, but it should be the golfer's discrtion. <BR/><BR/>I mean come on, have you seen the recent designs by Polo for golf shorts, I rather golf in jeans, than getting caught wearing some of those atrocious outfits. And let's think back and the "male capri" pants of the 1920's...its a similar look, but fitting to our times....<BR/><BR/>Traditionnn!!!! as Tevye would say, is meant to be broken. I'm sure someone had a fit 60 years ago, when me started wearing short sleeve shirts or dropped the tie at the course, or even stopped wearing the diamond pattern socks (knee highs), and if tradition is at stake...why not keep the steel spike shoes that we all grew up with?????<BR/><BR/>Tradition.....Blah! <BR/><BR/>Forward Progress, YES!Crey23https://www.blogger.com/profile/08930572228842602312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-34946494188079049872008-06-27T15:41:00.000-04:002008-06-27T15:41:00.000-04:00Good Job! :)Good Job! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-72578116334390172472008-06-03T21:22:00.000-04:002008-06-03T21:22:00.000-04:00courtgolf:you're last comment really does not make...courtgolf:<BR/><BR/>you're last comment really does not make sense. you seem to be an old crybaby who has very thin skin. do you bruise easily?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-19848829921788423792008-06-03T17:36:00.000-04:002008-06-03T17:36:00.000-04:00Cargo shorts and trousers look pretty good.

And they were the worst kind, below the knee, and very roomy-- Old Navy 18.88.<BR/><BR/>Having lost 60 pounds walking the course this year, I can't wear those anymore- thank goodness. I am mostly wearing regular bermuda pants, but I do have one pair of cargos I am wearing, but it is above the knee, proper fitting, and could not be considered baggy. I don't really find a problem with these Dockers but if I was asked at my club to stop wearing them, it wouldn't bother me a wit-- I do think that a nice pair of golfing shorts looks much better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-84418837816957754242008-06-02T21:57:00.000-04:002008-06-02T21:57:00.000-04:00Cargo shorts are the perfect golfing shorts, espec...Cargo shorts are the perfect golfing shorts, especially if you are walking.

That said, I have been known to show up in a pair of Payne Stewart knickers or the wildest pair of golf pants (think of Rodney Dangerfield in Caddy Shack attire) that the course would allow. Other posts have made great points, but for me, part of the game is the style - and that style does not include cargo anything.<BR/><BR/>Ted aka "myFitnessCaddy"Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03457770886076825331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-63493523527307803012008-05-31T21:20:00.000-04:002008-05-31T21:20:00.000-04:00Very interesting.
