But that hasn’t stopped many of my playing partners from trying out a look they can’t pull off. What they should’ve done was stop by the Bad Pants Open, a golf outing at Rush Creek Golf Club (celebrating its 20th year), and raise money for Special Olympics Minnesota and PGA REACH Foundation Minnesota.

The slogan is "bad pants for a great cause," and it features PGA pros and Special Olympics athletes teaming up for a best ball tournament, followed by a foursome scramble for everyone else. Last year, the event raised more than $100k. Plus, everyone got a chance to wear their hideous pants before throwing them back in the closet for (hopefully) another calendar year.
