Chip Strokes 6,750 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 as far as on the course, i’ll always dress for where i’m playing. i’ve played my local muni in sweatpants, but at a nicer track or especially a club as someone’s guest i’ve got no problem putting on nice shorts or pants (weather dependent) and a collared polo. i can appreciate looking and feeling good at a really nice venue, and i actually think it adds to the experience the part of the country club uniform that really irks me though is in the dining room. my grandparents have belonged to an upscale club on Long Island for over 40 years (house members only as my grandfather hated golf). a few years back i was actually denied entry to the dining room for a family dinner because of what i was wearing: tailored jeans, fitted white t shirt, blazer, and chelsea boots. the exact same type of outfit i wouldn’t think twice about wearing to a business meeting or a dinner at a nice restaurant. as clean and put together as i looked, i didn’t pass muster because i was wearing denim and didn’t have a collar. but the guy at the bar in the polo shirt two sizes too big and the wrinkled $12 old navy khakis was good to go. dress codes are great and they’ve got their place, but a slob is always gonna look like a slob, no matter what rules he’s following. 5 Quote SIM2 8º | KuroKage XD 70TX SIM 3W 14º | Fujikura Atmos Black Tour Spec 9TX SIM2 5W 18º | Fujikura Ventus Black 10X U500 2i | Fujikura Ventus HB Black 10TX T100 4-PW | Dynamic Gold X7 SM6 52* SM8 56* SM8 60* | Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 DW | BGT Stability Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscipleofPenick 3,784 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Look good, feel good, play good. I think it's that simple. Be comfortable and confident on the course. My home course doesn't have a dress code, heck I've seen guys out there in hunting boots, jeans, and flannel. It's odd but it doesn't bother me any. I'm not worried that they're ruining the game. They're not in my group so as long as they're respectful of the course it's fine. I like to dress like a pro. Polo tucked in and pants, until it's too hot then shorts. Maybe I'm not one yet, but at least I can look the part. Once we get into the season I don't mind posting pictures in my flashy-ier outfits.Take Dead Aim 5 Quote Take Dead Aim Driver: Titleist 915 D3 10.5* Fairway: Titleist 917 F3 15* Hybrid: Adams Idea Pro Boxer Gold 18* Irons: Titleist 714CB 4-PW Wedges: Vokey SM5 & SM6 50/54/58 Putter: Odyssey Versa #7 32" Ball: Srixon Z-Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fozcycle 15,058 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I'm somewhat fussy about what I wear - clean and proper fitting clothes and shorts. However, I could care less what others wear as long as they abide by course rules, i.e. collared shirts, etc. Each to their own taste just don't play slow [emoji16]. FYI I love the recent innovation of waistbands that keep shirts tucked in - don't love the flat brimmed hats even though I'm a Fowler fan. Tony, I am the same way. Been playing for 62 years and have always been a bit fussy. Everything must coordinate. Shirts shorts belt shoes socks and cap......everything....and color is cool.Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpyCobra Speedzone Extreme (11.5*) w/ Mitsubishi Tense av Blue Regular; 3W & 5W Cobra King F8 w/ Mitsubishi Tense ck Blue Regular shafts; Tour Edge CBX119 22* Hybrid w/Project X Evenflo Regular shaft; Wilson Staff D-7 5-PW + GW + SW w/UST Mamiya Recoil 460 Regular graphite shafts; Cleveland RTX Zipcore LW(58*) w/DG Spinner shaft.

PMookie 16,989 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I’ve always matched my clothes, for work, school, dates, golf, it doesn’t matter. I love all of the new patterns on Peter Millar and FJ shirts, I just hate the prices. Ugh. It gets SO hot here in the summer so I don’t usually wear my “good” shirts, I just wear them for work, so I usually buy some plain, deeply discounted shirts and shorts since they get destroyed with sweat. But, I will still match! One thing is guaranteed: NO. WHITE. BELT. I buy the cloth belts and match them to my shorts, and if I’m wearing white shorts, I match the belt to the shirt! White belts... Yuck. 3 Quote Driver: King F9 Speedback/Epic Max LS, Xphlexxx Busa 2 Liquid, XX stiff, 45” Fwy: Epic Speed 4w, MMT 80X Hybrid: X2 Hot Pro, 20*, Graphite Design Tour AD-DI 105X Irons: TR20 Tour P 4-10, Modus 130 stiff, +1” Wedges: SMS 50D/54V/58DModus 130 stiff, +1” Putter: EAS 1.0 All but putter have Lamkin ST+2 Hybrid Calibrate midsize built to oversize +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russtopherb 9,284 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I'm like a few others in the thread, I buy my golf clothes based on whether or not I could wear them to work. I have a few pairs of golf pants that pass muster at the office (well, when we're actually there and not remote, anyways) and all of my shorts are basic solid colors that I can pair with anything. Shirts tend to be pretty neutral as well, I've said before I'm cheap so I just stock up at the Ahead factory clearance every December when overruns are marked down to $5 each. I really hesitate to put the words "golf" and "fashionable" together based on a lot of outfits I've seen in the past. But as long as I'm comfortable, and whoever I'm playing with is comfortable, that's all that matters in the end to me. 4 Quote In my carry bag: D7 Hy-Wood D200 5i-PW CBX 54* & 58* #10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getoffmylawn 5,186 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Personally, I'm pretty uptight about my own golf clothes...I have a closet of UA and Nike, nothing else, and you better believe I don't mix them, always head-to-toe one brand or the other. The only area where that falls apart is shoes...I have a pair of FootJoys that go with the Nike clothes. Nike hasn't made a shoe that felt right for me in years. I pride myself on being a parking lot pro, even if it only takes a hole for my playing partners to figure out the "pro" stops at the parking lot. As for everyone else, I don't care what they wear I care how they conduct themselves on the course. Enjoy yourself, but not at the expense of anyone else, and I'll have no problem with you, and overall I'm pleased to see a slow creep to a more relaxed atmosphere in our game overall. Lord knows we need it. Last year at a nice PUBLIC course I had a teenager behind the pro shop desk tell me he couldn't let me out for a twilight 9 because I wasn't wearing a collared shirt. I was wearing a Nike TW blade collar polo. I kid you not, I was only able to convince him I was wearing appropriate attire by removing the shirt and showing him "Nike Golf" on the label...the little TW logo on the sleeve wasn't enough for him. 4 Quote Driver: TR20 460, Ventus Blue 6 S, 65g Stiff FW: CBX 119 3w, 15, Project X Evenflow Blue 65g Stiff Hybrids: Apex Pro 3 & 4H, Mitsubishi MMT 80g Stiff Iron: JPX 919 Forged 5-GW, Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff Wedges: SM8 54 S Grind bent to 55, 60 M Grind bent to 59, Aerotech Steelfiber i110 Stiff Putter: White Hot OG Double Wide, Stroke Lab shaft Ball: Pro V1X Click here for my HONMA TR20 Official Review!
