The Power of Pants

I escaped late last night from the captivity of a band of backwoods-blog hating survivalists. That's my excuse for not blogging in a while. Mr. Bulter, what's yours? Anyways, relax and enjoy "The Power of Pants".

The PGA tour has a dress code, as I am sure you are already aware. Mainly, it requires its players to wear pants. Shorts, skirts, kilts, capris, pedal-pushers, plus fours, knickers, european short pants, capes, and robes are not allowed. This can cause angst from the players especially in hot weather, but would you really want to see John Daly in shorts. I didn't think so, you see enough of that at your municipal golf course, where one might wonder if there is an unspoken rule about not wearing pants... or clothes that match. Sure in the fall season you encounter the foursome in jeans, but rarely do you find classic Dockers stutting the fairway. Growing up playing muni courses, I would wear basketball shorts and a tee shirt. I was comfortable, and I never really tought too much about it. Then I was introduced to the exlcusive world of private golf, and along with it I came to understand the power of pants.

Everybody has the one article of clothing that they love to wear because they know they look great in it. Be it a favorite pair of jeans, a cute top, or a daring leather jacket everybody has something to wear the fills them with confidence. If you are a golfer, wearing pants can fill you and your game with confidence. You have been watching professional golfer play golf your entire life, and everyone of them was wearing pants. Therefore you have a strong correlation with great players and pants subconsioucly in your brain. Dressing like a tour player, encourages you to elevate your game to match who you are imitating. Standing over a shot looking down at well pressed trousers mhmmm that's what I'm talking about. Dress the part. Play the part. Need more convincing? Here are several more reasons to wear pants on the golf course.

1. Tradition. Class up any course by dressing like you are playing Augusta.
2. Well fit pants with the proper colored belt and color coordinated shirt can be increadibly slimming.
3. Skin cancer is the most common cancer among young people 18-25 years old. Good old cotton fibers can protect the backs of your lower leg from the damaging UVA/UVB rays of the sun.
4. You won't have an awkward leg tan line. Pale is the new tan.
5. Every winner in the history of the PGA tour has won in pants.
6. Poisin ivy can strike anywhere, unexpectedly. Protect you legs with pants.
7. Wear pants, shoot lower scores. I garuntee it.
