The recent revelations about the marital struggles of Tiger Woods has brought up many questions about the sport. Perhaps the questions should be directed at the wives of the earliest golfers – happy wives who were proud to say they had husbands who never fooled around. The truth is that early golf attire, such as baggy pants and argyle socks, gave the men no chance with clubhouse waitresses.

Millard Tennison's wife had nothing to worry about when he announced he'd be gone for a weekend golf tournament.

Ever since the introduction of golf to America, the attire has been quite silly for very little reason. That could not be said for sports such as football and soccer, which were widely popular with the young men and young ladies of the day. Sad to say, marriages involving players of the popular sports rarely lasted beyond the players’ careers.

On the golf course times were good for wives. They felt free to leave their golfing husbands unattended because as they’d say, “Who, with a straight face, would flirt with a man wearing pants like those?”

Although he didn't wear the baggy pants, Don McMoon unwittingly stayed true to his wife by wearing a floppy hat and sporting a mustache.

Elin Nordegren, Tiger Woods’s wife, would do well to take note of history and remedy Tiger’s wandering heart by imposing on him a dress code. We recommend a two-year probation during which he would be required to wear argyle socks, baggy pants and a floppy hat. If he exhibits good behavior during those two years, he can lose the floppy hat but still be required to wear the baggy pants at his wife’s discretion.
