Socks are a no brainer:

White.

They have to be white!

(In fact, I think that's an actual rule).

And the shoes have to be black loafers.

I don't care how far anyone else hits it, makes no difference to me or my game. Played a couple weeks ago with some friends & 2 of them can get it out there pretty good. They played from the blues & we played from the whites which worked out well.

I know my limitations and what the strengths and weaknesses of my game are. Im not the longest hitter in the world, but I make up for it with my shortgame and putting.
I say let the long hitters bomb their 300 yard drives, I'll stick to hitting fairways and greens and getting the job done with my wedges and putter.

Except, of course, when you are wearing butt ugly plaid bermudas.... in which case, they have to be black, knee length, and worn with those velcro orthopedic shoes. If you can pair that with a striped shirt, you are styling.

Back on topic, my Men's club almost always pairs me with the low handicaps in our club, so I am always the shortest hitter off the tee. I hit it between 230 and 250 most of the time, so you could build a large convenience store between my drive and theirs. What I have found out is that their drive does not help their game as much as my short game helps mine. I'll take finesse around the greens any time over a 300 yd drive.

Ok I will admit I have found myself trying to keep up with the kids. About a month ago I was in a three man scramble and the group we were paired with was a bunch of college age kids and they could bomb it! Well by the third hole I found myself trying to keep up with the "Joneses". Needless to say my game went south in a hurry. By buddy Shane (more about him in a bit) finally told me to stop trying to keep up with them and just play my swing and put it in the fairway, and to let him keep up with the kids. I took his advice and by the start of the back nine I had found my tempo again and played much better.
Now the interesting thing is I have never found myself trying to keep up with Shane. He is a scratch golfer and truly a long hitter. I have seen him put it on the green on a par four 280 yard hole with a three wood. I have also seen him drive over the green on a 350 yard par four. Yes he is scratch. He can hit it looonnngggg but still control the ball and put it where he wants it. He is just as good with his irons and his short game. Now why I try to keep up with the kids and not Shane I still haven't figured out, but I took the lesson to heart and just play my game and let them bomb it.

Royalwulff - Perhaps it had something to do with becoming a grandfather this year and seeking your lost youth?
