and besides, what’s wrong with that, anyway? Where is the respect for us old pluggers, anyway? Why do young people think we must conform to their ways instead of hanging on to our lives.
I’m with you, Vince. I’m the only one wearing regular socks on the golf course. The “style” now is the sockless look. Who wants to see a bunch of old men’s liver-spotted, blue-veined cankles?
A lot of pluggers have gone to wearing brightly colored, wild-designed socks. One reason is that the bottoms don’t show the dirt from walking around without shoes (I would say barefoot, but . . . ). Another reason is that they make great Christmas and birthday gifts. And finally, people notice them. My spouse hasn’t worn white socks since . . . high school.

So if it’s crew-cut socks, you’re not a plugger?

If the socks are black, then it’s my Dad back in the sixties…

Hey, some pluggers have no choice. They have to wear long compression socks because of poor vein circulation in the lower legs.

If your socks leave dents in your calves that seem permanent, you’re a plugger.

Usually I wear those types of socks in the winter for the extra warmth ;-)

Yeah, yeah, ha ha. And am I the only one to find those Progressive Home Insurance (becoming your parents) commercials very snotty? Example:

Nope. Long pants for me. Shorts get too many stares at the prosthetic.
TMMILLER Premium Member over 1 year ago

How about stockings that come up over your knee, held in place with leather garters, with fall-front breeches? 1770’s Plugger?
