Many of you have dismissed the Shorts4all campaign as that
of a lunatic interested only in stirring up trouble. But that is hardly the goal of this movement. The Shorts4all campaign is about safety
and health. To that end, we have
commissioned a study by the International Federation on Clothing Safety and
Health to see the impact shorts have on professional golfers. The study itself will be published in
the upcoming edition of the journal, Sweat Prevention. Here
is the abstract for this sensational article:
Our goal in this study was to look at the effects of wearing
long pants on a hot day while competing in professional level sports. Using a random sample of golfers on the
Mongolian Professional Tour, our researchers tested the levels of sweat, dehydration,
and stink on the players after competing in 95-degree temperatures for three
consecutive days. The results
showed that players wearing long pants were sweatier and stunk considerably
worse than their counterparts who were dressed in short pants (shorts). Also, the players wearing the short
pants were found to shoot an average of 10 shots better than those wearing long
pants. From these results we
suggest that all players should be allowed to wear shorts while playing golf,
especially on extremely hot days.
This will improve the play of the golfers, while also decreasing the
amount of showering time needed later to erase the smells produced by wearing
long pants.
