LPGA.. Dress code is too lax

[8602081]

It sad to see professional player playing in tank-top

My wife and I were watching LPGA last night and noticed how half of the field don't even bother to dress nicely for the tournament.

The girl that was in the playoff with Natalie was wearing a tank-top and shorts. My wife commented that she wears those, when she's not going anywhere.

I like to see players dressed professionally, I think LPGA should see PGA players learn. I don't mind loud clothes or eccentric.. but at least try to dress nicely.

Morgan, Michelle, Paula, etc.. do dress nicely.. but there are others that are pretty pathetic.

I'll have to agree that I thought the tank top and short shorts were a bit on the unprofessional side. I mean, they do sell sleeveless shirts that have collars on them. She looked like she was going to the gym, not competing in a LPGA event.

If the girls can do that, i think that the men should be able to wear shorts on 105 degree days...

[Big D McGee]

AGREED! I was shocked to see JJ wearing a tank top and short-shorts. That outfit wouldn't be acceptable at most of the daily-fee courses I play. Bivens should establish a firmer, more professional dress code.

 

IMO, the best-dressed players on the LPGA Tour are: Paula Creamer, Morgan Pressel, Natalie Gulbis, Christie Kerr, and Se Ri Pak. I really like Pak's traditional Korean shirt.

agreed with pauliewalmuts. Next thing your going to say that Gulbis skirt is too short. You know it's one of the only reasons we watch t he LPGA tour. Ha Ha

Agreed does anyone actually watch the LPGA for the golf :beach:

[maligaya]

My wife who is an avid golfer said the same thing. JJ looks like she is dressed for running errands. She really liked the way Natalie is outfitted....I must say, me too :beach:

[mattbbaker]

who cares if she was dressed in hot pants and was wearing only a sports bra...i wasnt aware that golf (LPGA or PGA) was a fashion show or one of these new politically correct high schools that only allow khaki pants and blue shirts....just watch the golf shots or Natalie Gulbis' hind parts please...

Agreed.

I dont think anyone here is gonna loose sleep over this, but JJ did look like she was going to the super market! If the men cant wear shorts and many of the pros wish they could wear shorts, why cant the women look professional.

I watch LPGA whenever they are on TV/Cable. I like to watch LPGA as much as PGA. I would rather watch LPGA than Championship and Nationwide .

[Diesel]

the less they wear the better IMO...

 

the LPGA knows this, and is basically using sex to sell the LPGA... i know i basically tune in to see what they are wearing or lack thereof...

[Swingtheclub]

Yes PGA Pro's should be aloud to wear shorts.

 

The girls should dress as they wish too.

 

It should only be about the golf.

[pauliewalnuts]

the less they wear the better IMO...

 

 

I agree except certain golfers such as Patty Hurst and in that case I recommend

 

[Diesel]

true enough, her and LD...

[gregcindyh]

I thought I would chime in on this one. This is silly! Just watch the golf and quit crying about the dress code. Isn't it "Playing Golf"? I know when I play any sport or go to church it's about being comfortable and enjoying the enviornment. If you are complaining about appearal you are going to loose, it will just continue to change with the culture! Heck, I thought the coolest golf shirt to come out is the mock t's! Comfy and eh, t-shirt! Thanks Tiger! Sombody call the wambulance!

[Charlie_Foxtrot]

Agreed does anyone actually watch the LPGA for the golf :beach:

 

Yes.

[dtrain]

I thought the same thing, tank top and tight shorts for any golf tournament is unacceptable. Someone should have sent her back to the lockerroom. Now if Natalie wears that outfit I have no problem :beach: :good: :cheesy: .

[Diesel]

you're not being watched by millions...

 

sports all have dress codes...

[dtrain]

search Jang Jeong on www.gettyimages.com. Her pants looked ten times tighter on TV.

Point is these women are Professionals, and should dress accordingly.

Golf has had a history of "proper attire" and I don't believe a tank top fits. Sleeveless shirts with collars are fine.

 

As for shorts, for the women it doesn't bother me, as I would lump them in with skirts. Most golf skirts are really shorts with a wrap around anyways.

 

For the men however, pants only. Shorts just don't give the impression of professionalism. And with the technology in fabric...the pants don't get very hot, but again look much more professional.

 

If dress doesn't matter, imagine what kind of rukas John Daly would cause if showed up for an event in cutoffs and a wife beater....

Ditto. IMHO, watching the Seniors or minor-leaguers play is a waste of time.

Bravo..

Great point..

Proper attire used to be long sleve shirts and ties for "gentlemen" as well. Wimbledon used to be "all white" tennis attire. Times change, things change, everything changes...and history is just that...history. Golfing attire will change with the times...whether anyone outside of the sport wants it to or not.

[MisterMizzy]

I wish some of them would wear less :beach: Others...not so much.

In the case of the LPGA thats not a problem :beach:
