Do I Have Bad Taste?

[Golfbum]

Ok so it was warm enough to this morning to wear shorts to the course.
So I get my new shorts out, my daughters wanted me to buy these at Old Navy.
I like these shorts. But one of my regular golf buddies had a comment about them, I can not repeat it here.
Do I have bad taste or does my buddy? As I said, I like these shorts! I wore a white shirt with them. Should have worn my light yellow shirt but it was in the laundry.
BTW, I also bought a pair of dark brown and dark blue shorts like these, also from Old Navy.
Maybe my buddy thinks I am too old to wear these shorts He is the same age, 51.
I just figure there is no accounting for poor taste and he has it

[Hacker]

A guy has to make sure that he has the game to back up those shorts - personally I don't but from all accounts you may

Nothing wrong with the shorts though

[jvincent]

Were they exactly as shown? If so, that's not too bad as madras shorts go.

I've seen much worse.

[Indio]

One word....... 'yes'

[Big Johnny69]

Now if they were pants I'd say no, but shorts ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I'm not sure.

[MusicMan]

shorts or pants though are cool dude!!

[Golfbum]

shorts or pants though are cool dude!!

They are exactly as shown. Very comfortable to wear. C'mon guys if Old Navy is selling them then it's all good!
The pair I wore today are on the left.

As for game to back them up, at times yes, other times no!

I just happen to like bright colours. I was the first and only one to wear a pink golf shirt in my group. I was the first to wear a bright orange shirt. (No one has touched those two colours yet )

Hey Jarred, at least you have the same taste as I do!

As for you Indio, you sleep on a couch, how reliable can you be? If I come play golf with you I am wearing those shorts!

[MusicMan]

some of you have already seen this... Rick i always do the funky shorts and shirts, and I DONT have the game to back it up... but i dont care... if you know where i can get the full length pants like that lemmy know

[Big Johnny69]

Me too, I'm looking for plaid pants. The GF says no, but I don't care.

[jvincent]

The wife sews professionally.

I'm tempted to commision a pair of the LOUDEST possible pants for when we play the Toronto guys.

I'm reserving my final judgement until the Forum Fashion Guru chimes in...................Donny oh Donny what say you

I would love a pair of pants like "the other ones" shorts. Those would be sweet. But would your wife sew us some shorts or pants?

[jvincent]

I showed her this thread and she said she could do some depending on her schedule. She can do pants or shorts.

She just mentioned "seersucker" as a potential fabric.

well i dont know what "seersucker" is... but if she has white and green or baby blue or orange, put me 1st in line!

[Hacker]

Given the make up of the Ryder Cup Team I would think that Beersucker would be more appropriate

Very cool though that your wife is willing to jump in with her expertise

I'm sure the next time that we need a policy written up on the post market surveillence of drugs in Canada my wife will be right there to lend a hand............

Seersucker??? That sounds like something that would leave nothing to hide once you put it on. Not sure I'm so keen anymore.

You're retired now... you can wear whatever you want . Don't forget to pull them up over your belly button!...

Or up to your armpits.

[jvincent]

well i dont know what "seersucker" is...

Seersucker is the crinkly fabric you see summer clothes made out of.

BTW, I know waaaay more about fabric than I should.

I'm not so against it anymore.

Like the "Puffy shirt"?

[jvincent]

Nope, it's not like the puffy shirt.

Zoom in to the picture on the following shirt and you'll get an idea for what it looks like.

Now I get it. That stuff would work for pants?

[jvincent]

Probably not that specific one, but there is pant type material with the same texture.

Cool, keep me posted.

Rick you are never too old to wear anything as long as you like it!!

[Golfbum]

I knew it, you dudes are starting to come around Yuo have to remember, I have a 22 and 19 year old daughter. They happened to be in Old Navy with my wife and I when I saw those shorts.

Now young girls have a different fashion sense than old farts like me. But they wanted me to buy them. So I did. They are not that "LOUD" really and if you ever tried a pair of those shorts on, no matter which colour you went with you would know why I like them.

As for pulling them up over my belly button AIN'T GOING TO HAPPEN!

Hey I have a bright yellow Cobra Bag, not many guys would stroll the course with that either

Try H&M for some funky clothing, Europeon Store that came to Canada. If you want wild then check these two online stores.
FAIRWAY STYLES

SLIGO

GOLF KNICKERS

If you need any fashion advice just ask Rick "The Golfbum" Hackel
Like the Old Navy commercial says "GET YOUR FASH ON"
Here are some fine examples you can purchase.
