Shorts all the time. I might wear long gaiters depending on the course and time of year...

Bought some UnderArmor Drifit running pants/athletic pants I suppose they would be called. They aren't exactly the most fashionable thing out on the course but man, for courses like Kaposia and BRP there's nothing like it. The comfort level is off the charts and the Drifit material actually does a good job of keeping you cool and dry even when you would want to be wearing shorts.
Between the bugs and my bad throws into the rough, I'd find it hard to play it shorts or regular jeans ever again.

additionally... 103-34 in favor of shorts... you people are crazy 
that's pretty much 75% against pants in the summer...
someone needs to get on designing some decent pants... especially with the resurgence of pricker bush growth in the summer...

I think if you use certain sunscreen the oil helps create a barrier against the poison oil. Or you could vasoline your legs.

Additionally... I've heard Kerosene soaked rags tied around one's ankles will prevent the ants from eating their candy ass.

Shorts for 9 months of the year
Pants for the other 3.
Just found some SOG "tactical" pants at Wally World in the camping gear section. Very lightweight and nylon/spandex blend (no shrinkage; 4 way stretch. Very comfortable, 6 pockets. Playing a rough course and camping out in hill country this weekend, will test them out and repost later.
~$40 IIRC

I always wear Columbia trekking pants. Lightweight and waterproof. Protection from brambles and thorns, all manner of insects, UV rays, and weather. I get scoffed at a lot in the summer, then I see their legs and they look like emo kids thanks to getting into the thorns and branches in the rough.
