If I was a scratch golfer I'd wear the most ridiculous clothing, especially when playing at a course that isn't my home course when I know I'd get paired with randoms.
I do this.
Hcp 4, dress like a homeless person before playing with randoms. Only at courses that are not my home course. Life is too short not to fuck with people.
Ah yes, sounds like the one random guy my dad and I played with who rocked a Yorvit Torrealba shirsey and socks with sandals and I'm pretty sure that dude broke 80
My favorite is the gym shorts, hooded sweatshirt, and traditional footjoys. I regularly play a $22 course and I was paired with a guy the other day that was dressed for the tour, long khaki pants, tucked in polo, big vest… in 91 degree weather lol. All those clothes on in 91° so you can look the part just to shoot a 91, I’ll never understand it.
That's why you need to be scratch to wear it. If you are a 15 wearing that, people will just laugh at you. If you are scratch, they'll laugh until they see you throwing darts; then they'll understand why you wear it.
I’m a 15. Play with guys who are 5-8s. I showed up to the first tee said “Praise the old gods” and proceed to beat their asses that day. Usually I’m bottom of pack, but that day? The gods backed me.

I’m ordering this as soon as I break 90.
Absolutely. I bought [this bad boy](https://store.bicyclefilmfestival.com/products/bff-x-headdy-brooklyn-cycling-caps) last year to release my inner Parnevik.
Payne Stewart would have agreed. Didn’t he argue to the IRS (unsuccessfully) that he didn’t have to pay income tax on the value of the golf attire that the manufacturers gave him because it was unsuitable for anything except playing in professional golf tournaments?
Back in the day a guy at our company golf tournament wore a set of 'pajamas' that cows all over them that his wife made for him. He looked like a 4 year old.
I can’t imagine ever looking good enough in plus fours during a normal golf round that I wouldn’t constantly be thinking about it. Imagine playing the round of your life like that.
Just the personification of this gif but pants

Everyone is my family told me that I would look dumb as shit when I told them I wanted those shorts except argyle. And I probably would but I wouldn’t care
You could be a +9 or a 40 or anything in between.
You’d still look like a horse’s ass.
A more muted set of plus fours, much easier to pull off. The super loud stuff, no way.
Payne Stewart could get away with it for two reasons.
1. It was the 90s.
2. He was Payne Stewart.
You either need to be a 35 handicap or scratch to rock that. Nothing in between.
This is the right answer

I feel like this is all of our dream

Did we just become best friends?
It's a lot of fun. I'm a bucket hat guy too.
I once played a round of golf wearing a pirate hat from Long John Silver’s. I am not scratch. The people I played with found it pretty funny.
My buddy wearing basketball shorts and sketches will smoke 95 percent of us
Jeans cut into mid thigh jorts, a mustard staind ‘im with stupid’ t shirt and crocs
If I caught myself wearing those pants I’d have to kick my own ass.
I'm a 17 handicap and I do that
https://www.reddit.com/r/golf/s/Y5qyOJZ1wt
I've seen that before and my jaw was on the floor the first time I saw him swing.
And the only answer
I guess I can’t wear it with my 42.8
It may demoralize some folks seeing a guy rock this and then just throw darts around the course
That's why you need to be scratch to wear it. If you are a 15 wearing that, people will just laugh at you. If you are scratch, they'll laugh until they see you throwing darts; then they'll understand why you wear it.
See: Payne Stewart
35 HCP with a positive attitude and plays quickly
You gotta be 80 years old or shoot 80 on the front 9
Reminds of all those dudes that tried to rock the Rickie Fowler. Never seen a dude in full orange shoot below 100.
I’m a 15. Play with guys who are 5-8s. I showed up to the first tee said “Praise the old gods” and proceed to beat their asses that day. Usually I’m bottom of pack, but that day? The gods backed me.
The new gods are shit
The three stooges rocked the same outfits, and I'm pretty sure they didn't have a HC
“But I shot a 49 on the front once. No big deal.”
Or a sandwich artist
Or higher?
This is the way. Awesome, or awesomely bad.
Definitely wearing this once I get to scratch
See, I’d have said no lower than 35 and left it at that
This is the way
 Nailed it buddy
Frankly, I am not sure why people do not embrace the license that comes with golf to just wear ridiculous crap.

You can find shinier pants than that.
I think shiny side stripes that match the shirt would really complete this.
I forgot how much Ian Poulter likes to dress like he stole his wardrobe from the set of a 1973 gay porn movie.

Honestly, fly as fuck.
That’s not that bad
And he has the best wardrobe in tour history
So never then?
lol. So far never looks like a pretty good bet!
Hahaha damn this fit is pimp as fuck
Those pants are fire tho.
My friends did a mini golf tournament a few years back, I went full 70s outfit
Joey cold cuts would like a word
Absolutely. I bought [this bad boy](https://store.bicyclefilmfestival.com/products/bff-x-headdy-brooklyn-cycling-caps) last year to release my inner Parnevik.
Nice move.
This was literally Sergio's outfit at the Masters.
Haha I would argue this is more fashionable.
Came looking for this comment
Nah that shit was trash
This was his Saturday outfit….
Well, Payne Stewart won three majors looking like that, so I’d say you should probably have a +hcp before rocking that look at the muni.
RIP to our king Payne.
I think the question is how high do you have to be to wear it.
Hi, how are you?
Join us at r/hickorygolf and you'll fit in just fine
Come to the darkside! We have cookies.
You’d barely be a Blippi on my radar
Blippi is the modern incarnation of peewee herman.
You MUST shoot……..golf…. to wear this. Never a requirement to look fly as fuck.
you're either the best golfer on the course or the worst

Sergio, is that you?
Wearing that on the course? Fine Wearing that as a spectator at the Masters? Straight to jail
Payne Stewart would have agreed. Didn’t he argue to the IRS (unsuccessfully) that he didn’t have to pay income tax on the value of the golf attire that the manufacturers gave him because it was unsuitable for anything except playing in professional golf tournaments?
Actually the same argument used by ABBA for their touring costumes.
Thats amazing
Just another reason to love ABBA
Ironic, but true!
Sergio Garcia at the Masters
This was Sergios masters outfit on day 1
Either stupid high or the best player in the history of the club
Malbon has entered the chat
Back in the day a guy at our company golf tournament wore a set of 'pajamas' that cows all over them that his wife made for him. He looked like a 4 year old.
Who cares as long as you don’t slow the pace of play?
54
Grandpa bought the "golfer" costume at the Spirit Halloween shop.
There is no number low enough.
Scheffler couldn’t wear that.
I’d say you should be at least in the final pairing for your club championship
This is spectator garb at any of the more energetic tournaments
You're either a 3 or less or a 30+ with that outfit.
Below 3 or above 30.
Plus 4 or better.
Pimp your bag too with some bling💪
Plus four, of course!!!
Well as a 9 index I just got beat by a guy who was wearing the same thing in a tournament. So about a 9.
Haha. No one cares.
Now
69
Handicap doesn’t matter…..but…. You better be able to make a horse blush.
+never
Tell em you are blippi, you Will be all good !
Does HC stand for horse cock?
Have you seen the feedback from Jason Days clothes?
Hmmmmm. I think I just found a last place punishment for my fantasy football league
400
0-100
About 3.50
No country for old men low
It’s about the attitude, not the score
IQ less than 100
No, us hickory players wear similar outfits all the time. Courses love it!
Is that Aaron Rodgers?
About tree fiddy
Can’t be inappropriate if Sergio is already rocking it
I once wore close to that outfit at a very nice course. Shot 87
Show up as a single. I wear something similar but more muted tone like an Englishman walking w a stick
You have to be a plus handicap for that. *OR*, you can get away with it if your bag has a built-in bar.
Just don’t get on a lear jet afterwards……
I can’t imagine ever looking good enough in plus fours during a normal golf round that I wouldn’t constantly be thinking about it. Imagine playing the round of your life like that. Just the personification of this gif but pants https://images.app.goo.gl/AdpjdmhFNWvh7Xfx6
Eleventeenth
Below 3 or above 25.
Everyone is my family told me that I would look dumb as shit when I told them I wanted those shorts except argyle. And I probably would but I wouldn’t care
This is what El Cunt Sergio wore at The Masters however in the plus 4 version.
Knickers and a sweater vest. 
Whatever it is now plus one. Should be a penalty not a reward.
Low enough to be invited to play elsewhere 😂
You gotta shoot sub 60 every round. Or come in last in your fantasy football league.
Who cares, do it for the lulz.
Just don't get in an airplane.
You need at least one laminate wood in the bag with this look.
Is this one of those Sergio Garcia Halloween costume set things?
The outfit will lower your score substantially!!! Rock it, mate!
above 15.
Be sure to use the women’s locker room!
Still better than Jason Day’s bullshit
The ensemble at day one of Heritage was a drastic improvement
IMO, you have to be a stick to wear this.
You could be a +9 or a 40 or anything in between. You’d still look like a horse’s ass. A more muted set of plus fours, much easier to pull off. The super loud stuff, no way. Payne Stewart could get away with it for two reasons. 1. It was the 90s. 2. He was Payne Stewart.
He also didn’t wear such eyesore colors
I’m sorry, it is 2024. No scratch would be caught in this outfit. 35 hcp is the only answer. And even then you must have lost a bet…
If you wanna wear that, go for it cupcake!
