To Whom It May Concern:
As the days get warmer, there will be a greater need for
players on the PGA Tour to stay cool.
While there are plenty of ways to help recuperate from the heat, not
enough is being done to prevent overheating in the first place. And that’s why I’m asking you to
consider allowing players on the PGA Tour to wear shorts during tournament
play.
Overheating is a very serious issue in the sports
world. Players and fans alike can
become quite sweaty on a hot day.
At least the fans though have the option of avoiding some of the sweat
by allowing their legs to breathe free.
And if the fans simply watching a tournament can get relief by wearing
shorts, shouldn’t the players who are working hard be given that same benefit?
Relief for your sweaty players isn’t the only gain from
shorts. It would also allow you to
promote many cost saving initiatives, which would be popular amongst your
older, cheaper fans. Shorts use
less material than long pants, which means both the manufacturer and the
consumer save money. Also, the
decrease in sweatiness will allow players to be able to take shorter post-round
showers, saving money on energy bills.
And then of course there is the sex appeal factor. Many other sports expand their fan
bases by flaunting the impressive physiques of their players. So why shouldn’t golf do the same? All those calf and lower thigh muscles
on display could tap into markets your sport is currently ignoring. Sex sells; so let it work for you.
There are simply too many benefits of shorts for me to
enumerate them all here. But from
the sampling I’ve provided, you can see why allowing your golfers to wear
shorts will mean better business for you. And in a tough economy where money is
scarce, a “leg” up like this, could push your sport to the front of the pack.
Sincerely,
Otto The Caddy
