My friend and I went swimming at our country club pool one day between rounds. We were both scratch golfers playing around 75x a year and practicing another 75x, to stay scratch. Needless to say we saw some sun.
A little kid was looking at us and asked her mom ‘what’s wrong with those men’s feet?’
Living in Canada I remember going to the doctor for a knee problem in early February or so and when the sports doc saw my sock tan line he said “hey did you get away for some sun down south?”. I just said “no that’s from the summer “. He replied “ you should really look into sunscreen. “

If you DON’T have golf clown shoe tans you aren’t playing enough imo

That is one of the reasons I wear pants to play mostly. I hate sunscreen so I don’t have to apply to my legs. Also because it is golf and sometimes the ball doesn’t end up in the most desired spots. No bug bites or poison ivy on me lol.

I switched from ankle socks to socks that sit a bit above your ankle and now I got three shades going like Neapolitan ice cream.

I have always worn pants to golf starting as a kid. It made searching for your ball in the brush feel safer.

Yep. Try to wear sandals when ever possible on sunny days. When not golfing. I would wear golf sandals but I need a good shoe for golf.

Hobbies are golf and running…outside in socks constantly. I feel your pain.
I judge feet based on the content of their character, not the color of their skin. Who cares about feet tan lines. You’re a golfer. Wear those tanlines with pride.
