To the best of my knowledge, Plus-2's, Plus-4's, and Kinickers, when worn with proper length hose (those covering the legs below the hem of the trousers, are appropriate for wear (they must be since I saw two golfers teeing off Troon #1 wearing canary yellow and fluorescent pink knickers with matching argyle hose and vests as I was coming down Troon #18 in my trousers. I believe that if they were worn without hose or with shorter hose than covered the exposed lower leg beneath the hem that they would likely be considered inappropriate (as well s funny looking), as best as I can assume they would then be considered "shorts". But then again I can only speculate what Troon's decision might be.
