White Shorts

Discuss the rules of the game & the world of officiating.

I found that golf specialty stores have white shorts almost all the time. I got two pairs at the PGA Store here in Atlanta for $25 each. Other golf stores (Golfsmith, Edwin Watts) had them, just not in my size.

OK.... these get a thumbs up. Good find LaxRef.

Got my shorts today in the mail from Beals (dept store based in FL) through Amazon. Fit and style are fine for me. Slightly relaxed basic white cotton shorts without a super long inseam. Very similar to the house brand at Kohl's that many of us have used in the past.

Ordered them last Thursday morning online and got them today (Wednesday) here in Atlanta.

Thanks again for that find LaxRef. Will be sharing this with our association locally.

Yeah, the one in Buckhead near Lindbergh and Piedmont. Had been searching high and low locally and found these the minute I walked in the store. Seems that they had more than one brand too, and a huge range of sizes from 30-42 or something ridiculous.

Was at the PGA Superstore in Roswell on Sunday afternoon and they didn't have anything in white in the "middle sizes." Just super big (40"+) or small (30/32").

Thanks to LaxRef for the find. Thanks to Sonny for the risk of being the first to order. I just ordered 2 pair.

I received 4 pairs of these shorts last week, and they are very nice! $9.99 plus shipping...what a deal!

Four pairs?! Maybe it's time to start putting on your black rain pants before you eat that post-game chili dog!

Seriously, though, I always put on the rain pants if I'm eating after a game, and I try to wash my stuff promptly and spot-treat any mud splatters or other marks; my shorts seem to last longer than most people's.

I used to think they should have us wear black shorts because they're easier to keep clean, but they fade. I've also seen some women's officials in black shorts/skirts and they just don't look as sharp as white.
