Cargo Trousers?

Although the subject of cargo shorts has been debated here numerous times, with the jury still out as to their acceptability on a golf course, I can't remember any threads discussing the merits or otherwise of cargo trousers.

On one hand you have the same practicality of cargo shorts, with numerous oversized pockets to keep everything in it's place without having to rummage through the bag, plus the added advantage of being able to wear them in winter to boot.

But on the other hand they look tacky as shite.

Personally I don't think I'd be comfortable wearing them in a tourney.

Discuss.

P.S. I toyed with making this a poll, but I didn't want to pre-empt anyone or limit their reponses to a list. And I'm crap at makikng up polls, I'll leave it to the experts like Zo and HB.

NAH it pains me to read your signature. Dude, you know better. Please, set a few hundred dollars aside from your budget and buy some GFF irons to hit. Then you could be proud enough to start some real threads and not feel like you need to distract our attention from your cast POS irons.

Nobody here wears cargo pants anymore, it's bad fashion. Now, go buy some GFF glory . . . .

I'm currently trying to squirrel away a war chest, then plan to strike when the right deal comes along. Unfortunately in Australia GFF don't go cheap, but I am determined to get some. Next time I get a set though I will make sure I get them adjusted so they fit me properly. The Zoids were beautiful clubs, but a little short. In hindsight I should have just saved some money and got them re shafted.

Cargo Trousers are outstanding. The more pockets the better. I like to have pockets between the ankle and knee and lets not forget about the main cargo pocket between the hip and knee. The main cargo pocket is really best if it has an internal pocket and a couple of external organizers. The very best cargo trousers are hyridized cargo/carpenter trousers so that you can carry all of your golf accessories and a hammer. With all that free storage space you can walk right off of a construction site and to the golf course without changing.

If I ever find hybridized cargo/carpenter pants capable of holding 15 separate items and a capacity of 35 lbs then I can finally get a bag that doesn't have any pockets. Come to think of it golf bags with pockets are pretty tacky.

The best cargo trousers are the pants that have a zipper and turn into shorts. You need to have them and a old navy tech vest and man you are one styling motha f ucka

F uck I forgot to include the convertible feature. Hybridized cargo/carpenter/convertible trousers are the cats meow.

Cargo pants are great if you happen to be on a golf safari where you might have to shoot a lion. Even if your course has snakes and alligators, if it's not in Africa, cargo pants, shorts and diapers are all nothing more than you letting your inner Michael Jackson out.

Listen, you don't have to look ridiculous. It's ok, you can leave all that sh.it that you keep in the pockets at home. You're not going to need last week's newspaper. You don't need to bring the remains of yesterday's lunch. If you are gay, there are other ways of letting other gay people find you. Tie a balloon to a belt loop or something.

The other thing is, cargo clothing will not get you laid.

You guys make a compellng argument. My thinking on this topic may have been all wrong. I will have to start looking for a set of cargo trousers for next winter, which is 8 months away. But if I can find a set of convertibles I can start wearing them straight away. I think from now on I'm going to only wear cargo pants (shorts and longs), to the exlcusion of all other types. Does anyone know if those new duds JD has been getting around in come in a cargo convertible cut?

Hope you can moonwalk. Maybe switch to one of those giant Michael Jackson golf gloves.

What hat would you suggest to complete the ensemble?

[QUOTE=Not a hacker]But going by GR, it may help your mother start getting some action.[/QUOTE]

Dad may be old, but he still takes care of business. As a result, Mom doesn't walk real well. But for a geezer, Dad sure has a spring in his step.

Do you think the rhinestones would improve grip?

[QUOTE=Not a hacker]Do you think the rhinestones would improve grip?[/QUOTE]

Only if you're talking about gripping young boys.

A Greek fishing hat will do the job

Hey NAH all those pockets in your cargo trousers might come in handy for all the spare cloths, hankies goggles and air filter masks you'll need to see and breath through all that dust out on the course.

I'd rather not talk about it. I had a round booked in for very early yesterday morning at Wollongong GC, a great links course down there, only to wake up and think my clock was wrong because the sun had supposedly come up an hour ago but it was still dark. Coupled with 100kph wind gusts, the round was cancelled and I may never get another chance to play that course. It's cleared up today, but the forecast is for another possible dust storm to arrive Saturday, just in time to fuk up my weekend round.

Oh no. Bad luck. It's the opposite over here. A wintery blast and heavy rain. At least it brought some snow so I might get a few more ski runs in before I hang up the skis for summer and start focusing solely on golf.

It got so eerie here yesterday I was waiting for it to start raining frogs.

Yeah it looked shocking on TV last night. I see it drifted over Brisbane today.

Bon Pantalons.

Convertible dry-wick cargo pants are completely awesome. I wear those things anytime I go fishing/canoing.

I still rock one pair of cargo trousers. I am a bit of poser, because I don't actually use the extra pockets...I just like the look.

If my shorts aren't cargo, then they aren't my shorts.

IMO, the guys who won't wear cargo, are the same guys that always walk around in just shined up shoes, and I just don't trust guys that always wear shiny shoes.

I rock nothing but the finest leather shoes and J Lindeburgh duds. After I wash each outfit (really they are uniforms) for the first time, I thoroughly examine the ensemble for unnecessary wear. 9 times out of 10, I throw them in the trash. Instead of pockets, I make my trio of caddies carry whatever gear I feel I may need on the course. You muni-players have no class.

Maybe not, but at least the beer we drink is cold and not sipped at room temperature.

I'm glad to know you Aussies are alright. I noticed you were having a bit of weather down under. That kind of weather would definitely put a damper on the golf game.

It sounds as though you're frequently out of the boat and into the water when you do your casting from your canoe. If you regularly trip and fall into lakes on the golf course, then I can begin to see your logic.

But if you're gonna stand close to another guy in cargo shorts, bring condoms.

Don't forget your Tilley Hat. A must accessory with anything cargo related.

If I could I would wear cargo shorts every day. They're practical, comfortable and let me show off my tats....

The best shorts are the super gusto shorts by matix. They are kind of cargo but way more practical they hold a six pack of beer.

NICE!.....:D

I played a fancy course in QLD earlier this year and shorts with pockets were not allowed. Therefore NO cargo shorts permitted.

So I take it cargo pants are standard issue on golf courses in Branson MO?

Branson sucks bunch of gay rodeo cowboys

Alright we can still compromise. You can ony wear convertible/cargo/carpenters if you leave the top 2 buttons on your silk shirt undone and have a golf plated crucifix (not solid golf though because thats just wasteful)

The hat can be anything but a ball cap. Bucket cap, cabi hat, dew rags are the first best though.

Nah mate, the cargo pant was INVENTED in Branson, MO.

Sorry about that. The CIA called its blowback, DOD calls it 2nd and 3rd order effects. If we thought about them here we would just be another shottalk. I tried shottalk out for a while...almost 30 minutes.

Where you live in ohion, I mean to say which city.
