Do you look like a golfer - off the course?

my __white _______belt is a give away. _____

I have worn dress slacks, buttondown collar dress shirt, suit coat or dressy sport coat to work for as long as I can remember...right up until 1 month ago. We have voluntary retirement going on right now and the day I decided to take it was the last day I wore a dress shirt or coat to work. Came in the next day in dress slacks and golf polo shirt. Been that way since. Got 28 more days and I will call my 41years, 11 months, and 22 days with this company as OVER!!!

On weekends, I normally just wear same shorts I would wear to play golf with a golf shirt unless I am outside in the pool.

DUDE, the topless guy in cut off jeans you saw I think was JonesScott.

 

Was he looking you in the eyes from P1 to P10 while driving the ball 320 with a 3w?

[MountainKing]

Only wear golf clothes to golf. Off the course I look more like I belong in a rock band I suppose.

[Shakester]

I have a few buddies that would wear their golfing clothes to work or their work clothes to golf, depending on how you look at it. I rarely do that because when I'm not playing golf, I'm usually in sweats or jeans and a t-shirt.

[Hilltopper413]

Yep. I have the “golf look”. Even if I don’t have on golf clothes per se, I’m still told I look the part. I have a very southern prep look, so polos and chinos are staples of my wardrobe.

[Edaw68]

If jeans and a t shirt aren't acceptable I'm probably in golf clothes.

[alpineto]

I play mostly on weekends so if I'm dressed for golf it stays that way for the day , shorts and a polo , I'm not changing clothes after golf unless going out to dinner or some other social gathering .

Do you not sweat or live and play in a humid climate??

Fortunately I don't sweat to bad, very rarely do i shower twice in one day

on the humidity question I'm in NY so it can get humid in the summer

if it's real nasty I'll do the two showers in one day or if I'm going out to socialize I'll do

the two showers , no way I'm going out stinking lol .

Golfers are easy enough to spot where I live, I spend most of the year in flip flops, (thongs for us), board shorts and a T shirt, the sock tan is usually a give away that you play golf.

[Mcgeeno]

I'm in the 'business casual' world so naturally golf polos, khakis, pullovers etc transitioned easily haha.

 

I guess over the years my work/golf/casual wardrope has mixed together quite a bit.

[MadGolfer76]

I don't look like a golfer even on the course, let alone off of it.

[jay_dwight]

Not at all but my tan lines say otherwise.

My wife gives me 10 kinds of hell about my sock tan line. I have a very dark complexion and tan very easily (never really burn), but my golfers tan is on point, lol. My feet are white like a sheet.

[wagsgt]

Doesn’t matter what I wear. Practicing my swing in work bathroom and elevator is a dead giveaway

[Hawkeye77]

Yep - except for work M-TH, it's cargo shorts or jeans off the course - so yes, pretty much look like golfing me off the course as well (spring through fall). Winter - golf shirts and shorts are, sadly, in storage tubs.

[shakey]

95% of the time...Yes. I work in the golf business so I’m pretty much always wearing golf clothes. I will occasionally wear a suit and tie to church or even jeans sometimes, but most of the time it looks like I have a 12:30 tee time.

Most of my t-shirts have Nike Golf on them, so there’s really no escaping it.

[Buzzkill]

I don't look like a golfer on the course with my jeans and t-shirts.

[RSinSG]

Being retired has its benefits. One is I don't have to dress for anyone other than myself, and often I look like a drunk being released from the tank on a Sunday morning. T-shirts and jeans or cargo shorts make up most of my rota, although I do have the fancy high dollar pocket tees so I got that going for me. My wife has complained more than once that I dress nicer for golf than I do when we go out.

[mukster]

When I get out of the shower, I look like a golfer. Suntanned face and neck, suntanned arms and legs, with the rest of me (including feet) so white, you'd need sunglasses to look at me.

[aenemated]

Off the course I ... look like a 42 y/o guy that lived in Hollywood and played in bands for 20 years.

[Wriggles]

I've worn khaki trousers and OCBD's (SS for golf, LS rest of time.) for 50+ years, for golf and otherwise. Add a blazer and tie for the office.

On the course, I look like a guy who just took off his jacket and tie.

[scomac2002]

The golfer's tan is just exactly the same tan that any other individual who works outside in summer (or winter for that matter) might have, save for the short tan lines as I almost always wore long pants on the job.

 

As far as the wardrobe is concerned, because I work at a course I have to wear the corporate attire, so that has become pretty much the limit of my allocation to golf specific style. I'll be darned if I don't want to look like a wannabe golf pro the rest of the time. It's helpful that most outdoor clothing companies use performance fabrics now so the benefits of golf specific apparel is now avialable in other forms of casual clothing. For example, I'm a big fan of Eddie Bauer's First Ascent line, so you'll often find me in cargo shorts, tees, straw hat and flip flops off the course looking like I'm about ready to pull up to a tiki bar.

[FestivusMiracle]

i'd say more so in the summer when I'd be less likely to be wearing jeans. most of my shorts are either golf shorts or those new gym/casual shorts that you can wear anywhere. most of my t-shirts are golf related (us open, pga, masters, malbon, mannkrafted, scotty cameron, fade golf). heck even have a titleist aussie hat that i wear on the course and at the beach

[gioguy21]

Yea im' a dead giveaway that i'm a golfer. when i'm in casual clothes its usually jeans, tee and some sort of either an unstructured titleist, pinehurst, masters, etc type hat. unless we're going to dinner and i'm wearing a button down or something.

 

work is easy since i'm not management -- can wear a polo/slacks most days. besides - everyone at work knows i golf...just gotta look in my cube lol

 

 

[OldCuss]

Off the course mostly khaki-colored pants and oxford banded shirts, thus no; but on the course, got it goin' and style suggests ... until I swing, thus, well, no, not there, either. Got a handicap to prove it, too. I'm swingin' my swing and claimin' the attitude of a golfer. Still workin' on the behavior, however.

[smashdn]

I wore an FJ shirt to work today just for you guys.

[rattlergolfer]

Even at Church. Under Armour pants are so comfortable. I live in Texas, so I can wear polos daily.

[el_b00t]

I’m a diesel mechanic... I look homeless most days. Invited some work friends from our front office out to golf and over for smothered pork chops one Saturday and they were surprised to find that I actually clean up well and have a nice home and a nice vehicle. They’re used to me wearing oil stained clothes and driving my 2003 4Runner to work.
