Golf clothing
Forget about men only golf clubs, the real scandal is the head of the Royal & Ancient appearing on the telly without a jacket.
And he had short sleeves
and a button down collar
and a logo on his sleeve.
Bad form. He looked like an airline steward. Harrumph.
Lots of players wearing golf shoes that look like trainers -apart from Jimenez who had snazzy, bespoke correspondent shoes. Lots of crap matchy matchy colour schemes too. Peter Alliss made a few observations apart from his usual
' Okehampton golf club are celebrating their centenary. Lovely part of the world . Best wishe to the Major and his chums...'
Working from home had the TV coverage since 9 o'clock.
"Florid, smug, middle-aged golf club bore in this country I'd say. Propping up the 19th hole in deepest Surrey bemoaning the perils of immigration."

Re: Golf clothing
Write and complain to the Telegraph and sign it "Disgusted, Kingston-upon-Thames". Golfers have become walking billboards - like footballers and tennis players. Corporate sponsorship and advertising has become a form of sporting pollution - visually ugly and very off-putting. The golfers look like middle-aged Chavs with too much money to spend.
Sadly, Peter Alliss has become a parody of his former self. I prefer Sam Torrance and Ewan Murray. Wayne Grady should put on the first boat back to Oz. He is golf's Pat Cash - a lot to say but little of value.

Re: Golf clothing
^Thanks for that, for a moment I thought I had missed something by not playing golf.....
Interestingly, the days of business on golf courses, clicks of golfers taking afternoon's off and golfing days, seem to have succomed to welcomed death in the oil & gas industry in the last 15 years. Certainly, from my perspective in my sector and bloody good job too for the likes of me who can't hit a ball for toffee.

Re: Golf clothing
^ LOL! I used to get around 6 afternoons off each summer to play for the company golf team.

Re: Golf clothing
I used to be in four golf societies. Three at work - Westminster, Kingston and my own office's one plus a pub golf society. I was also a club member. Juggling the time requirements was a major planning exercise.

Re: Golf clothing
Aye, and who was doing the work whilst you were networking on the 19th hole?
Mugs like me.

Re: Golf clothing
I was in one company, that when the the MD took over, decided to take all his golfing chums with him, including one storeman and one chap who someone said to me "...was like someone you speak to in a chinese takeaway at 11:30PM on a Saturday night."
It worked for them.

Re: Golf clothing
Going back to golf clothing, as in other sports, the quality has declined over the years. My old Ashworth golf polos were superb - high quality and made in the USA. They lasted very well, over 20 years regular use. Now it's mainly polyester/poly mixes with pseudo technical descriptions to pretend its high quality stuff.
