Not a fan of the look. I mean - I'm not completely against bucking the trend (within reason) - but nothing about high-top golf shoes with bloused tight-pants looks good. He needs to pay a visit to Ian Poulter's design team. Ian might not be a world-beater, but he represents Europe very well in the fashion department.
Looks like a 14 year old douche in basketball sneakers.. They should start using the "traditional look" specs on shoes as they do clubs so we don't see this $H!T on tour.
I really like Rickie but also think the shoes look rediculous .
If Rickie was going for "class" and what a "gentleman" aspires to, he missed the mark; if he was going for shock value, and a marketing campaign, I'd say he hit a home run, at least based on the conversation here, and how much people are talking about it.
I like the kid a lot. His wardrobe is "generation polarizing". Us old farts will wonder WTF he is drinking and the kids will be buying those clothes up at full price.
Something I can't understand is why the PGA won't allow the men to wear shorts and yet the LPGA allows the women to, basically, wear whatever T.F. they want. Are we equals or not???
LBlack14 No one paying to see Jason Duffner's legs. But, make that Lexi Thompson or Michele Wie, that is a different story...
Forget sex, I'm talking "equal rights" here. Oops....P & R. Sorry.
They let guys stand in their underwear to hit shots out of hazards but no shorts in regular play.
Curious.
azgreg sdandrea1 Good point! I'd like to see the LPGA in their underwear!
Laura Davies says hi.
Point taken for sure. There are only a handful of chicks on the LPGA that I'd simply want to watch on TV because of their looks. I believe I posted a thread about the Australian LPGA event and how many dogs were hitting 7 irons at that dog and pony show. Woof!
I mean, unless we're developing a "Hooters LPGA Tour" or something like that, I'm really not all that interested in watching the latest "Kim" out of South Korea dominate the ladies tour. I've yet to find one of them that is attractive, at least to me anyway. And none of them have any personality. It's like watching a robot play golf.
I watched a little on Saturday and I thought Hee Young Park and Chella Choi were quite pleasant to look at.
The LPGA wears shorts because they can pull it off (the look not the clothes) and very nicely I might add.
It adds an appealing dimension to the game. Especially vs 20-25 yrs ago. Yikers!
I will be watching and my wife will come in the room to say, "look at her. She is wearing virtually nothing."
I respond "and your point is......?"

Laura Davies says hi.
LMAO!!!!!
But she could KILL a golf ball in here prime.
I saw her at a tournament years ago and when she hit it and the ball went by you it was actually making a whistling sound.
The other ladies, -0- sound as it passed you.
Only Marty McFly can pull off a high-top like that and be cool.
