I'm not a golfer but why not just wear the watch while you play golf? Anyway, I'm glad they got this thief!

Bro its not comfortable to play sport with a Rolex or other watch on your wrist.
You could ask why don't MLB players wear watches, well they do wear gold and diamond encrusted necklaces but you don't see anyone wearing a watch while playing. Although Aaron Judge has been seen to be wearing several different Rolex models after the game in the locker room post match interviews. Swinging a golf club or a bat without a wrist watch allows you to focus and direct the club or bat with more unencumbered feeling towards your ball. PS. I'm glad those dirty thieves got caught!!

As a golfer, I would never wear a watch while playing. Would just find it incredibly uncomfortable and weird feeling, gotta have good free range of movement in the wrist. Always take mine off when I play. I could probably get by with something on a strap but never a bracelet.

I’m a very low handicap(excellent)golfer.
When I was competitive, the watch was in the bag. Now, I’ve adjusted to playing with any/every watch with no hesitation. Worst part of the whole thing? Watch arm tan. |

I don't take my watches off for any activity. Golf, Duck hunting, or chopping wood with an ax. So after decades of this, I don't even feel the watch on my wrist anymore.

Glad they got caught
I’m definitely in the “I don’t wear a watch when I exercise” camp. Exercise for me was squash, golf and tennis mostly. Wearing a watch for those activities just felt weird |

Don't wear mine playing golf; leave it in my locked locker.

I grew up at the country club as a kid.
A lot of golf at the club is being seen and has little to do with the actual game of golf. The tee off times and particular day of the week is very diverse on the level of golf you will see being played and why they are playing.

Over the last 3-4 years I have gotten accustomed to wearing a watch while I play. Do not even notice anymore.

I've put mine in my bag a couple time when playing and often wonder if one day I'll forget it in there or lose it or will get it stolen. Need to be careful. I wear a Garmin golf watch when playing and I really like it. I'm not good enough for the watch to interfere with my golf swing LOL.

I wear my 36mm Explorer when I lift and bike and hike and swim but I can see how it might be distracting at golf.

Phil Mickelson wore a watch while winning multiple majors. Just saying.
However leather is much better to play with than SS or PM. |

When playing at my home club I leave it in my locked locker. When playing an away round it stays on my wrist until I'm on the first tee. It's in one of the bag pockets until I putt out on 18 then it's back on my wrist.

I wear a watch, usually a Rolex, to the course then switch to my Garmin golf watch when I’m ready to play. I put my watch in a crown royal felt bag and stuff it in my golf bag while I play. After golf I switch back to my Rolex. My car keys and phone stay in my bag too even if I play at a private club.

I don't wear mine while playing. I shoot in the 110s. That's way too much stress on my watches
Hmm maybe wearing one will distract people from my terrible game. |

He probably did it for the same reason elite-level tennis players do: their watch sponsor pays them to. Ever see Serena in her custom Royal Oak on the court? I doubt she does it just to check the time.

Crazy, just the other day while golfing with some buddies, I put my WG GMT in my bag as I was playing. We then stopped in the clubhouse for a drink to grab to finish the round. I went in my bag to grab the WG GMT and one of the guys started to laugh as this club is one of the most prestigious in the area, which is a private course and says you do not have to worry about people going through your bag to find your Rolex. Well well well. Guess who I forwarded this video to.

Correct, but he wouldn’t do it if he felt like it affected his game..

I myself wouldn't take my watch off during golf but my experience is limited to Top Golf. Certainly not an expert!
