Which Accessories Identify You As A Hacker?

[chrisf60526]

Jeans.

 

Hands down. I don't get it. Looks bad, kinda restrictive, and must be hot when its a bit warm out.

[chrisf60526]

Not saying that everyone is like this but..Saw a guy roll up at my local muni the other day with a Titleist Staff Bag and a full set of new PXG irons, and a PXG shirt.

 

Let's just say that his game was what you think it would be :stink:

Probable sign of a hacker is slow play.

 

I'd disagree with that. I know plenty of single digit and a scratch golfers that are slow players. I also know plenty of high handicappers that are fast players that just want to go out, hit the ball and not cause a backup. Pace of play isn't an indication that they're a hacker. I don't like players that take a bunch of time walking around the whole green to read a 2 foot putt just to constantly miss it.

 

Slow play is not indicative of being a hacker or a good player. But it is indicative of being an Word not allowedhole.

 

Agreed !!!

 

Funny again, I do not find there is a direct correlation between speed and being an arse... seems to be plenty of fast and slow ones out there lol.

My original comment was pretty much said tongue in cheek, but humor is sometimes hard to convey in forums like these. Yes, both types of golfers can take too long.

Pockets on shirts.

 

Shorts with socks above ankles.

 

I do this to keep sand and dirt from getting in my socks during the round if I'm wearing shorts.

 

If someone's wearing jeans on the course, 100% going to have a bad time.

 

Well if it’s 100% bad time, then I’d say it's probably has more to do with you than the guys in the jeans.

 

Because I guarantee you I can find people wearing jeans you’ll have a great time with. And that are very solid players too.

Well then can you ask them why? Why jeans? I have never met someone wearing jeans that has broken 100 on the course. Most have no idea that you shouldn't walk on someone's line on the green, don't understand you shouldn't talk or play music during someones swing, and their cell phone definitely won't be on silent.

 

Jeans just restrictive, hot, bunch up, and don't make sense on a golf course.

The glove stretcher is likely, but not necessarily a hacker's accessory. However, if the glove stretcher hangs on the bag I'd say 100% hacker.

[Johnny_Fairway]

My scorecard holder - after 18 holes when you open it up and see the score.

 

Let's been honest, it doesn't actually take 18 holes to make my hacker bona fides known.

So the guy from Hawaii is suggesting that anyone wearing jeans is a hack?

 

Yesterday we teed off it was 38 degrees and windy. We played a sixsome as nobody else was near the golf course.

 

We all had jeans on, nobody shot anywhere near 100, and we finished in under 4 hours. (yours truly won $60). We were actually a sevenssome for a few holes as one latecomer joined us on 12.

 

Trust me, I'd rather be wearing shorts and no see socks. That said, I'll betcha I could adjust to your playing conditions faster that you to mine!

 

Profiling sure is fun though!

[Petunia Sprinkle]

Found this in the trash on the course. What a tee holder! It even has a bag clip for you to show it off.

 

 

I thought that was a speed-loader.

I just decided it wasn't even worth replying to. It was such a ridiculous statement. I'm glad someone else chimed in

[Sean2]

Nothing in my bag or what I wear, but perhaps my golf swing. :-)

[St Jimmy]

My buddy wears jeans to play after work.

He thinks I’m weird for changing into golf pants or shorts in the parking lot.

 

To each their own.

[Shifty242]

What if the course has a "denim policy?" Or should it be called a "denim season?"

Wearing jeans while golfing is like wearing jeans while skiing. While they may do the job, there is no way someone can say they stand up to the proper equipment. If you aren't willing to invest in just one pair of proper golf pants, then you clearly don't care about the game that much.

I own about a dozen pairs of "proper golf pants" and only one pair of jeans. That probably says something about me, right there. Not necessarily good.

[BKN1964]

Haha! I have one of those :)

[Petunia Sprinkle]

Haha! I have one of those :)

 

Wouldn’t it make more sense to have your actual hand stretch out a glove?

[CSmithAMG]

Count me in on the “no jeans”and no “untucked shirt”team. Whatever group that put me in, I’m good with that. It’s golf. We wear slacks, we tuck in our shirts, and we treat each other with respect. That is all.

[deadsolid...shank]

I continue to post snarky replies to all these jeans posts. Then I think to myself, do I want to get started on this debate again? And I delete them.

 

I respect all the opinions of those who dislike jeans on the course. I fully do not however respect those opinions when they come along with derogatory remarks about the people that wear them.

[Frankensteins Monster]

Carrying your golf bag like this. Also, wearing your glove from the car.

 

[CSmithAMG]

Let me be clear. If your club/course allows jeans, untucked shirts and so forth... I have no issue. Hell, play barefoot in overalls If that is your thing. However I pay a lot of money to be a member at a private club and I expect the members and guests to act and dress accordingly.

Didn't mean to hurt your feelings there, but that's kind of the point of this thread, titled which accessories identify you as a hacker. Nothing I said is 100% how I feel, and I'm sure Tiger woods or any other pro wouldn't have a problem breaking 70 with jeans on.

 

That said, there are many companies out there that make pants specifically for golf.

 

And to your shorts and no see sock comment, I could care less about how other's perceive me on the course, I'll let my clubs do the talking. However, I walk 99% of my rounds and don't want my socks slipping down past my heel or sand/dirt in my socks while I play (and walk) between shots. Above ankle socks have a use on the golf course, while denim jeans don't seem to provide any advantage.

Yet, you keep replying passive-aggressively to let us know how you're not going to comment on them.

 

I don't even think anyone had a derogatory remark, lighten up a bit.

[ruffellprefley]

this entire thread is a joke, people. take it as such. there’s an exception out there to every one of the things mentioned here.

Not derogatory huh?

[EmperorPenguin]

Stick with accessories, guys, though I delight in reading the irrelevant posts.

 

Aha! A new accessory not mentioned earlier. The putter holder! You clip it on the bag and it hangs on the bag. However, in the picture attached, the hacker manufacturers were unaware that the putter is inserted so that the putter hangs downward, not up. What I don't understand about this accessory is that if you take the effort to put the putter in the putter holder, why not just put the damn putter in the bag?

Well now I'm confused. This entire thread is a joke, but apparently there are relevant and irrelevant posts.

[EmperorPenguin]

I forgot to add that the putter clip comes with a plastic ball marker you can use to mark your ball, though likely you must run from the putting green to the golf cart to retrieve it.

 

I did see one hacker carrying his bag and he had his putter in the putter clip. It looked like the putter was about to fall out since the bag held at a diagonal and gravity rotated the clip downward.

You know, I could actually see where that might be practical. The putters with big headcovers so often don't fit well in the bag, especially the smaller carry bags, with the other clubs. But I would worry all the time about if falling out and not realizing it.
