Golf Fashion: Visors, Short Shorts and Argyle
I realized three things while watching this video:
1 - Golf Visors do actually look good on some people.
2 - Shorts can actually be too short (by a centimeter or so).
3 - European ads are generally racier than American ads.
Actually, I suppose I knew that last one already. Anyway, I just love the argyle sweater vest Nikkala is wearing. She and Peta, the gal in red, are not actually golfers, despite their seemingly awesome shots. They're Page 3 girls, so they're used to wearing far less than they have on in this video.
The ad is for Samsung and it was shot at the famous Stoke Park course in Buckinghamshire. The Sun has the whole story, complete with a slide show, photos of the girls, and the full scoop on the special effects that made them look like LPGA stars...speaking of which, the Samsung World Championship begins later this week in beautiful Half Moon Bay, CA.
I wonder if there'll be any Page 3 girls playing.

I think the best I can come up with for that is:
ReplyDelete"Crikey" :)
visors CAN be very appealing on women,yourself included and are therefore allowed on females. Men who wear them, as I've said, look like frat boys or metrosexuals who think it would be a crying shame not to show of their frosted hair on the golf course.....
ReplyDeleteGood post....
Highly entertaining! I might add one more observation--knowing the guys will disagree with me. I'm a huge proponent of the "snug" golf dress, but it is possible to unbutton just one too many buttons.
ReplyDeletethat's TOO funny !! :-)
ReplyDeleteOk Patricia and Heather - tell the truth - did you laugh first or did you start in with the fashion breakdown ? (I'm pretty sure I already know the answer - it was the fashion)
lol - Heather - unless you're built like Christina Kim, guys definitely like the snug golf dress !! (woohoo)
Patricia, they're not too-short short-shorts, you'll find in the article they're called "Plus Phwoars". They're a popular new innovation in british golf fashion...
ReplyDeleteMy favourite bit is where they descend into normal "The Sun" pun mode
'But naughty Nikkala really got to grips with the game, joking that her favourite bit was getting her hands on the shafts.'
Oh I say, how very saucy. Sex sells over here in britain, every time, cause The Sun, the most read paper in britain, will give you a two page spread on it if there's a bit of flesh about. Clever Samsung.
Geeez, now I'm totally addicted to "The Sun". ;)
ReplyDeleteThey were wearing visors?
ReplyDeleteWe had a cart girl at our course who was a dead ringer for the blonde girl and wore shorts that were almost as short, suddenly one day she was gone and rumor had it a group of women had gotten her fired, which goes to show you women can be each other's own worst enemies. :(
ReplyDeleteJust pulled up the address at the end of the...ummm...documentary (beautifulperformance.co.uk) and it was made by GolfPunk - THE best golf magazine in the world. Hard to find in the States, and a little expensive for a US subscription - but you can find it at Borders now and then.
ReplyDeleteoh - it's MUCH better at the beautifulperformanc address
Hey Patricia
ReplyDeleteI love the checkered pattern no matter what colour it is.
That was an interesting ... um...documentary (thanks Court).
ReplyDeleteStoke Park is almost as photogenic as the ladies are. I said almost. :)
We played and stayed there over the summer and it was wonderful.
Agree on all counts--even the too short shorts:)--butt hanging out does not work----although some girls have an anatomical gift that lets them just kinda hint at it.
ReplyDeleteBut I did like the checkered pattern.

That was tough, but I managed to make it through the entire clip ;) Nice find
ReplyDeletei wonder what their snookers outfit's look like.
ReplyDeleteNow, if only La Perla would start a linkswear line...
ReplyDeleteThose shorts were a bit too short for my style and visors just don't cut it for me as well.
