why are guys wearing knee high socks??

[Tim Red Beard]

I wear Under Armour heat gear socks (I think designed for baseball?) and athletic shorts (usually Under Armour) which is way cooler than pants.

I also wear soccer or baseball socks while playing wooded courses, I wear a couple pairs actually cause they do help against poison ivy, oak and some of the nasty thorns. I also wear basketball shorts (Starter or UA) it just has helped keep my legs free of poison ivy, I play a few rounds last year where the guys in my group who were not wearing socks walked through the same area I did and they all got poison ivy but me. I'm not trying to set a fashion tread I'm there to play disc golf and to say poison ivy / oak and nasty thorn free.

Here here. Soccer socks were practically made for disc golf. Plus, I just hate wearing pants.
