Shorts weather

[shellback]

OK guys (and gals). Spring is here. What’s your temperature threshold for wearing shorts on the course? 50*? 55*? Anytime? 

[Socrates]

No wind - in the high 50's or 60's and sunny.  Windy - mid 70's.  I used to be young and stupid.  Got older and less stupid.

[elwhippy]

75 degrees. 

[Ferguson]

45 and Sunny

[Mikey_HACKilroy]

I'm Canadian and even I wait till it's like 65 

[toddbournes]

50s and no wind for me. I’m very hot natured and it’s gotta be cold for me to be cold though. 

[Cliffy2020]

If I’m walking - sunny & 55 (no wind)

Riding - 60+

[Greenie]

I wear regular shorts 65+. I wear North Face water resistant hiking pants with zip off legs when it is cooler. I can always zip off the legs and have shorts if I get hot.

 

Unless I am playing a high dollar course I am a hiking pants, cargo shorts type of guy. I love the versatility of zip off legs and side pockets. 

[Springsteennut]

If temp starts in the mid 50s and supposed to climb after that.

You should always bring two pairs of pants to the golf course.  

[Ruleschamp]

83 degrees and higher and no wind.

 

[MountainKing]

I'm the guy wearing shorts in winter.  My general rule is if it's too cold for shorts it's too cold to play.

[Yoshifan151]

Pants until it's 90+ and even then it's a toss up. I'll trade off the warmth for sun protection.

plus 3 for this one!

[jordan2240]

80+, though I now generally wear lightweight long pants in anything above 60 for sun/bug protection.

[dropkicked]

10*C, sunny and walking = Shorts.

[Pepperturbo]

I wear shorts ALL the time, but suppose cutoff is high 30s.  Lower temps I put on long pants.

Above 50 as long as the suns out. 

 

Played all day today, started at 50 degrees, ended the day at 68.  Started with a Greyson Colorado hoodie, took it off midday, then put it back on around 6pm.  Felt so good to be in shorts, sun shining bright and chasing the little white ball around with some of my best mates.  What a time.  Reds opening day yesterday, golf all day today, NCAA tournament, Masters soon, RBC trip after that.  Bring on summer!!

[LuvToGolfGuy]

I wear pants all year.  My legs are hideously white, I have chicken calves and my mom died from melonoma (skin cancer). 

 

The sweet options of pants nowadays, I don't need shorts. 

Lastly, you look sharper w/ pants. 

 

 

[Nickb333]

I don’t even own any actual golf slacks so… shorts all the time. 

[rickshaw]

80 no wind!

I going to have to ask why?

[MattM97]

50F/10C and sunny with no wind I'll rock shorts. If windy but sunny maybe after 65F/18C but if cloudy and windy pants up until 70-75F or so.

60's

Maybe @Ferguson is actually Club Pro Guy posting behind a Fernando Rey avatar.  And this video may tell the real story.  It's CPG's best work.
