 Had the dubious pleasure of watching a couple of blokes (I use that term loosely) playing ahead of us both wearing tight clothing, luminous shirts, bright clashing trousers, a white or orange belt and some sort of golf shoe that looked as if it had high heels.
I mean over the years there have been outrageous golf clothes but hey -
WE never walked like that.

 That's alright Lionel most people take off their clothes before they shower.
|
 |
 I think I'll keep mine on Jim - - and while you're there, will you pick up the soap?
:)

 May I quote from the above link for the J Lindeberg shirt. Check it out.
"Shortsleeved golfshirt with collar . Inserted logo all over the back. BACKSIDE IS SHOWN"
Now THAT doesn't surprise me.

 I like the JL stuff - it's a break from the norm - and I'm not gay, either!
(ducks!)

Old geezer alert!!
If you're happy in your Matalan T-shirts and Farah slacks then fine.
Just because youngsters wear something a little lurid doesn't make them gay.
Sad thing is they feel they are being individuals but all youngsters dress similar now anyway!!
I suppose you're jealous that you haven't got the single figure handicap to pull off the clothes either?
BHS do a fine selection of brown coudrouy that will be right up your street and leave you enough for your Werther's originals and fishermans friends.

 I am another fan of the Lindeberg range its good to see something new, bright and nice fitting on the golf course.
|
 |
 Heh, heh!!
Nice to know you're in touch with your feminine side guys
It's not the clothing that worries me - it's the mincing
and what's all this with wearing a scarf pulled through itself, like the girlies - and carrying those real macho shoulder handbag things (can't believe the campness of mannequins in mens departments these days)
On one hand we have blokes extolling the virtues of carrying a golf bag on the course, a la paramilitary - on the other, a willingness to dress like Graham Norton and prance round the changing rooms.
I mean get a grip, it gets confusing knowing which side some of you are batting for, thats all.
:-)
and Don, I think you will find that 'brown corduroy' is back in fashion this season and sucking Fishermans Friends is more appropriate for Lindeberg wearers surely?

 Oh and Parky
;-X
|

 Monkey stew anyone?
|
 |
 LOL - I'm just keepin' the pot boilin' Mart
;-)

Sorry Lionel having never worn 'brown corduroy' I would not have known how to spell it. As to it being in fashion can't see it myself, maybe with the seniors as it probably is extra absorbant for the leaks from when you have to take toilet stop every 3rd hole.
Yeah young lads may look more affeminate (probably spelt wrong) but that's fashion and as I recall all you old farts had long hair in the 60s didn't you.
Don't worry about us Lionel / Taz we're fine and the young girls certainly know which side we bat for. The fact that you are threatened maybe says something more about you than it does us eh?
Repressed maybe, I don't know but I'll make sure that I don't ben down in front of you in your grey slacks.
|

 Such vitriol at a bit of tongue in cheek banter
:-)
You're being awfully defensive Don
and there was me thinking that you would take it like a man.
:-)
|
 |
Not at all Lionel / Taz.
Just pointing out that they are typical old f@rt attitudes that I see in my club.
Personally I don't wear JL or anything similar due to generous physique. I don't deride the youngsters for doing it.
I suppose that you were young once, just remember the days pre-HillBilly when you could go 18 holes without needing a wee.

Several of our members started wearing gear like this a couple of years ago.
I am sure that it is no co-incidence that shortly afterwards the club installed eye-level soap dispensers in the showers.

 Don, it seems that incontinence is endemic in your part of the world - maybe it's the lifestyle. Perhaps, sadly, something that you will also suffer when you grow up. Here in sunny Worcestershire guys over 50 do not habitually p!ss their pants .. unless we're laughing at the posers. and you are right, yep - us old farts had long hair in the 60's, we also had leather jackets with studs and 650 BSA Lightnings (please don't confuse me with a mod - at least not that sort of mod) ;-) Lawman - like it :-) I like these

 Urgh! At the Williams range....don't think they have quite grasped the concept of 'cool'. As far as i see it they are desperately trying to immitate Johan Lindeberg on a budget...

 Rick Valdo and Albert Ross arrived at the first ready for their matchplay knockout competition. Rick was dressed from head to toe in J Lindeberg gear, orange polo, lime green trousers, white belt, white and orange Puma shoes and a green glove. Albert was wearing a pair of grey Boss wool trousers, a burgundy YSL polo, a burgundy Glenmuir lambs wool sweater and black Ecco brogue shoes.
Albert, winning the toss, went first, the crowd around the tee were respectfully quiet as he smacked his Maxfli Blackmax ball 250 yards down the middle, then they applauded.
Rick then took his Pro V1 ball and placed it delicately on the blue plastic lift tee, a few of the onlookers giggled as he bent down in the overtight trousers, one guy wolf whistled. He turned round and glared at the onlookers then tossed his head back and pursed his lips ready to take his shot. His practice swing was a real eye opener – at least for him, as the tight crotch of the pants parted his testicles on the follow through –Oooohh! He cried. The onlookers were helpless with laughter, some of the older ones p!ssed themselves and had to trot back to the clubhouse.
Anyway, his actual shot was pretty good, at least 280 yards but a little bit down the left.
“Nice shot Rick” Albert said
“Thanks” said Rick “It would have been better Bert but I think my right bra strap is a bit too tight”
