Dan Underwood Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I don't think it's outdated. I have a membership at our public course, and there needs to be some decoram because where I play we have no dress code and it is crazy what people where here. There will be girls in just their underwear almost. To some that might be fine but I have kids and I don't want them seeing all that. I also wish that there would be less adult beverages too because of the same thing. It is crazy. On the opposite side I play at the other three courses I play have very strict dress code I'm never worried that my kids will walk upon some stranger almost completely naked.

Popular Post berkeleybob Posted March 15 Popular Post Share Posted March 15 (edited) I don’t know. Wimbledon has a dress code. It’s one of the things that makes the tournament stand out among the US, French and Australian Open. Style and practicality hasn’t suffered because of it, and I think the same can be said for pro golf as well. Should I be subject to a dress code as a golfer at my level? It doesn’t bother me. Collars are practical in both cold and warm weather. Shorts are allowed. Is the act of having a dress code antiquated? Not to me. I don’t feel as though I’m subject to a sort of oppression or limitation on my freedom of self-expression. But listen, if you feel it’s your right to golf in a T-shirt, shorts and Chuck Taylors, it doesn’t bother me. But you’re going to keep pace of play, right?

Popular Post ILMgolfnut Posted March 15 Popular Post Share Posted March 15 I'm okay with no tank-tops or ripped jeans, but other than that I think it's kinda silly.

Swood1994 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) I think to an extent a "dress code" is needed but not what I think the article points to which is collared shirt, pants, and golf shoes. Most of the muni courses I play have the typical dress code sign but people can wear essentially whatever they want. So long as the etiquette of the game exists I don't think there is any issue with shorts a t-shirt (barring any lewd images/sayings) and sneakers. What I care most about is how they respect the course and the people around them. Now when we look at professional golf and private clubs and their "dress code" that is whatever they dictate it to be so if you don't like it don't join there. I've played at courses where a change of clothes was needed just to walk into the clubhouse for lunch. but I was a guest playing under their rules. Who am I to tell them they are wrong? Professional sports are more of an image and setting an example for others so I don't think holding them to higher standard is necessarily wrong. I think shorts are fine but a normal golf shirt and tucked in is fine to continue as "tradition". The players are representing not only themselves but the course they are playing at and the sponsors making the event a possibility.

She wouldn't be able to play without doing this. She uses old clubs as she can't afford new ones. She asks for tees for her birthday and Christmas presents. She wears 10 year old golf shoes.

Not much gives me more joy than walking past the range at my club and seeing a 14 yr old with his airpods in jamming some godawful crap they call music and striping 3 iron stingers 260 down the middle. Well on said day as I walked by a hear a commotion and turn and a group of guys my age are berating this poor kid for his shorts and Hoodie (which by the way was a golf hoodie) they went too far screaming at a kid and iam not a small individual and absolutely hate a bully so I went out there and made the problem leave. Two days later the head pro calls me in his office and starts to "counsel" me??? I told him he best start catering to the changing of the guard and if there were anymore issues my lawyers would be his next phone call I have heard no more of it except for the new dress code allowing shorts of any appropriate nature and t-shirts and hoodies if golf applicable he must have done his homework!!!

Popular Post Tom the Golf Nut Posted March 15 Popular Post Share Posted March 15 If you go to someone’s house and you see all their shoes by the door. You take yours off as well. If a course has a dress code you follow it or leave. It’s that simple. I have been fortunate enough to play some very exclusive courses and the dress codes are very strict. (Collared shirts tucked in, hats are not to be worn backward and you can’t wear one in the club house, no jeans or cut offs, no changing shoes in the parking lot) and so forth. Stuffy, Absolutely. I dress golf appropriate as I never know what the course policy is until I get there. I would hate to be turned away because of my attire. As far as I’m concerned. Just be somewhat neat and keep up pace of play. I also just can’t fathom playing golf in jeans. Way too uncomfortable for golf in my opinion. But I don’t care if that’s what you like.

Mr_BogeyPro Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I hear what you are saying, but I think golf should maintain its current dress code, with one exception for the pros. For smaller events, I wouldn't mind seeing pros in shorts. In the majors, I say stay strict with pants, but I wouldn't care if they were in shorts for all other events.

Cade Rousseau Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I feel it depends on the type of club you’re playing at. A local muni/par 3 course most likely has lower standards. Personally, I’m not a fan of jeans on the course but it really depends on where you’re playing. Across the board, I feel a polo and khaki shorts/pants should do the job. I do enjoy the new trend of hoodies and differing quarter zips.

Byrnzee Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Golf's dress code is definitely outdated, but I do believe in still having one. If certain courses/clubs want to enforce rules that fit their aesthetic, I'm not opposed. I would say I'm more of a traditionalist in that I'll typically always wear a polo if I'm playing. In recent years at public courses without stricter codes, I've ditched tucked-in shirts and opted for the occasional hoodie over a quarter-zip. But I think at the end of the day, people can wear whatever makes them comfortable as long as it's within the rules of the course they're playing. cksurfdude, GaDawg, Swood1994 and 2 others 5 Quote Current WITB: Bag: MV2 Golf Bag Driver: G425 Max 9.0º,Ventus Blue Velocore 6S Fairway: TSR2 3 wood 15º,Ventus Red Velocore 7S Driving Iron: U505 2-iron, Graphite Design Tour AD DI-85S Irons: P7CB (4-PW), Nippon Modus Tour 120 Stiff (testing in progress) Wedges: 50.09 SB, 54.11 SB, 58.11 SB Putter: Ai-ONE Jailbird Mini DB 35" Ball: Tour X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't have said it any better myself. I've played with some real douchecanoes wearing $100 polos and top of the line shoes, and I've played with some awesome folks who'd take my money 8 days a week while they're wearing jeans and beat up sneakers, and I'd gladly play with them every single day.

Those are the best people to play with. I also have my thoughts on the whole children comment made, but I’m not going to start an argument. All I’ll say is beaches and pools should be places not to take children as well cksurfdude and Rob Person 1 1 Quote Callaway Paradym AI Smoke Max 9* with Tensei AV Blue 55 Mizuno ST Max 3 wood PXG 7 wood with Mitsubishi Diamana Shafts Mizuno Pro 225 5-GW with Dynamic Gold S300 shafts Mizuno S23 54 and 58 degree wedges L.A.B.

Prodigal Duffer Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Isn’t the origin of the dress code basically what people normally wore about 100 years ago? Men of all stripes frequently wore ties and hats out in public. It was considered proper societal etiquette. Society has changed (duh). Most men don’t wear suits ever, hats are more of an accessory rather than a requirement. I don’t know the rationale for having the current dress code, but it is probably a bit stricter than general societal expectations. I am okay with that, would be okay with relaxing it a bit too. Agree with the poster who doesn’t want to see someone partially nude. Seems like a low bar to clear. cksurfdude, Rob Person and MGoBlue100 3 Quote 2023 MGS tester: OnCore VERO X1 ball 2024 MGS tester: Edel Array putter Driver: Callaway Epic Max 9* 3W: Ping G425 max Irons: Srixon JX5-MKII (5-PW) 48* Titleist Vokey SM9 52* Cleveland RTX Zipcore 56* Titleist Vokey SM8 Putter: Edel Array B-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syks7 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) Having just played a place with a very strict dress code I can say that I don't think a dress code is outdated. It was nice that everyone looked presentable. Would I have liked to have been able to wear my preferred nice golf hoodie vs. a quarter zip and tucked in polo, yes, but it wasn't an issue. Do I think that should be the case for municipal golf courses, no, but I do think there should be at least some level of dress code. It doesn't bother me when there isn't, but I would mainly say as far as muni dress code goes. No graphic tees.

Popular Post chisag Posted March 15 Popular Post Share Posted March 15 3 hours ago, Byrnzee said: Golf's dress code is definitely outdated, but I do believe in still having one. If certain courses/clubs want to enforce rules that fit their aesthetic, I'm not opposed. I would say I'm more of a traditionalist in that I'll typically always wear a polo if I'm playing. In recent years at public courses without stricter codes, I've ditched tucked-in shirts and opted for the occasional hoodie over a quarter-zip. But I think at the end of the day, people can wear whatever makes them comfortable as long as it's within the rules of the course they're playing. ... There is really only one constant in life and that is change. Golf always was an elitist game/sport and that changed when Tiger started wining. And like most things in life the changes have been good and bad for the game. You wanna drink many more than a few and blare your music others don't wanna hear from 2 fairways away? Topgolf welcomes you. But not on your local golf course where your music and screaming disrupts others. Really no different than going to a nice casual restaurant, getting hammered and very LOUD, ruining the experience for the rest that are dining and it is just selfish. ... On the other hand spiked shoes with kilts, colored shirts and dress pants have thankfully been replaced by more casual clothing. To be fair I don't wanna see body fat squeezing out and flapping over the edges of a tank top on a man or woman so there are limits. But just clean and decent is the least someone can do for those sharing the course with them, so cargo shorts and a tee shirt with gym shoes shouldn't really annoy anyone. ... Personally I wear nice colored shirts with golf pants or golf shorts. I tuck them in during the winter and leave them untucked during the summer when temps get well above 100*. I don't wear them because they are traditional, I just like the look. I join a semi private upscale course during the summer because it is the only tree lined course near me here in the desert. If I get paired up with some guys wearing tee shirts, cut of jeans and some sandals ... as long as they are pleasant company, respect the course repairing any damage they do and keep pace, I am quite happy to play with them.
