As of 7:45 this morning, The Masters will officially be underway.  The skies in Augusta are clear, and with temperatures in the high 70’s and a slight breeze in the air, the conditions for golf could not be better.  Since it is the first Major of the year, The Masters is normally a place that all of the major sponsors unveil their latest and greatest golf offerings.  While we normally veer towards brands that aren’t traditionally sports oriented for our on course gear, one pair of pants that caught our eye comes from Nike Golf.  Their Plaid Golf Pants ($80) are the perfect choice for an early summer round.

Like bowties, plaid pants are something that can be pulled off only if you have total confidence in your look.  If you are still a little leery of wearing them for everyday purposes, the golf course is the perfect way to get used to rocking some plaid below the belt.  Made of a Dri-fit fabric with a bit of stretch, the pants are lightweight enough for warmer weather, but still heavy enough for days when shorts just won’t cut it.  With a flat front and roomy fit through the legs, the pants fall perfectly over your favorite pair of spikes.  Available in White with Wolf Grey plaid, or black with Dark Grey Plaid the pants look great in both colors, but in honor of the coveralls that the caddies wear at The Masters, we are going to have to pledge our allegiance to the white pair this time around.  If you want to see what these pants look like on, keep an eye out for Anthony Kim highlights throughout the day, he is slated to be wearing them for his opening round.
