Car parks

Unless I want to input my score into the terminal since it's in the clubhouse and there is a no golf shoes rule for the clubhouse.

but how do you know with some golf shoes they look just like shoes.

We have a no changing shoes in the car park rule and I just noticed the other day that we also have a no arriving in your golf shoes rule in the club rules!

What would happen if you did arrive wearing golf shoes, and then explained to the person telling you off that you also wore your golf shoes as normal casual wear, and so you actually didn't need to change shoes at any point through the day?

Brave man to tell Jacko_G off at his own club.

I have no idea.

I may/may not have been pulled up for changing my shoes in the car park previously.

It's been a learning curve. It's not "my" club it's "our" club. Therefore rules are necessary.

Allow changing of shoes in the car park and before long you'll have folks stripping off to the waist after their round...

Maybe simply just a way of getting players into the clubhouse rather than playing and driving off - and I guess maybe H&S with risk of slipping on paving slabs the car park side of the clubhouse when wearing spiked shoes - and damaging tarmac.

I once saw someone changing his trousers in our car park. Nothing to say you can't.

I once saw to chubby fellas walking down our 13th, topless. I didn't see if they changes their shoes in the car park though.

Its a pointless old rule that only made sense when metal spikes were the norm. My club the car park is situated next to the 1st tee and behind the 18th green, which means in order to change id have to walk away from the tee to clubhouse then back across the entrance path, and through the car park past my car to tee off. Then post round past my car to change in clubhouse to walk back and put my shoes away. Absolutely pointless hence why literally everyone changes at the car.

Same wherever I've been unless your wearing metal spikes your doing no harm.

Rather than sit in the car changing shoes I prefer to use a comfy seat in the locker room. I too fail to understand why people smack their shoes and spread mud in the car park.

I used to play with a lad who never cleaned his shoes after a round. Regardless of how muddy it was they'd go into a carrier bag till the mud dried and he could pick it off with a screwdriver.

Stops the mud and grass going in the boot of the car.

1. Because they can
2. Because they are lazy
3. Because they don't care about their surroundings

shoes is bad enough, but i saw some vistor not only changing his shoes in the car par at Nairn but also strip down to his pants and go for a swim.... drew quite a big crowd... mind you it was Huge Grant, but even so

Simple clean then using the air jet by the 18th, clean shoes and saves a pointless walk past the car... Plus who wants a muddy boot.

I think they should stop before entering the car park, jack their car, clean the tires, and then enter. Filthy louts.

Ah it must be a slow day if it’s back to the old changing shoes in the car park

It’s almost like bingo

What next - shirts tucked in

Its a throwback to the days where people would arrive at the Club, change clothes to play and shower and change afterwards. Actually, that's what happens when I play after work!!

On a Saturday morning, I arrive at the course in my golf clothes, minus golf shoes... and they get put on in the car park.... and no one cares!! When i started playing in the 90s, virtually everyone used to shower and change after before going in the bar. Now, unless it's very hot or very rainy, most don't bother...

I've never seen anyone change for cricket or football in a car park - except one place where there were no changing rooms!
