In praise of khakis

Apr 23, 2024 | golfdigest.com | Peter Morrice

Oh, how to discuss khakis and not sound old as dirt or say something that my teenage boys would pray never slips out around their friends? Truth is, I’m OK with my past, present and future with khakis. I’ve worn them proudly—obliviously, really since I stopped inheriting my older brothers’ pull-on jeans.

But when it comes to evaluating golf instructors—a small but highly influential niche in our game—there is no debate.

Speed bump. That’s how Butch Harmon characterized the final-round 75 that his new-again student Rickie Fowler shot on Sunday at the U.S. Open. As infectiously positive as Harmon is as a teacher, you wouldn’t think there was much good to say about how Fowler limped in at the Open, going from a share of the 54-hole lead to finishing five shots behind breakout winner Wyndham Clark.
