Good to hear, but I amazed you avoided a black ball in one of our other traditions.

Our club matches all use to be suited and booted for dinner after. We struggled to get teams as it adds at least another two hours onto an already long day. The club, with the support of most of the opponents who didn't really like it either, swapped it to an informal brunch in team colours before hand. Great way to get to know your opponents for the day and break the ice.
We still have some prestigious matches which are still full jacket and tie regalia and I think will remain so. I have no qualms about these. They tend to be against some rather "traditional" clubs and have been going on for decades. If you put your name down to play you accept that is what you need to wear after.

I've always worn a suit and tie when I've been to Golf Club interviews (have been to 3 of my own, and 2 as a proposer of others.) I don't think I've ever been asked to dress up, but it's something I believe in.
Strangely enough, when I attended the interview at my current club, the interviewer was wearing standard golfing attire. After the interview, we headed for a drink, and he thanked me for wearing a suit/tie. He obviously understood that I was showing respect, not just to the Club, but to the interviewer himself.
I fully understand that others don't share my opinions, but I won't be changing my approach any time soon...

Totally agree mate. I'd feel more comfortable wearing a suit and Tie than not for an interview. It doesn't bother me in the slightest.

I understand there are clubs where the respect and courtesy etc (that is being touted on here as traits of wearing a tie) but wont actually allow women members

I played St George's Hill this week, we had to wear jacket and tie for dinner.
Good luck applying for membership there if you turn up for your interview not wearing a tie.

Past Captains Match and Dinner at club this evening. Nice to see all the gents past captains wearing their smart Club Captains ties and jackets with pride - and so not done to turn up not wearing it - oh what an old fart stuck in the past club I'm a member of.

Not in this regard, that sounds like a tradition worth upholding, but certainly a totally different situation to that being discussed a couple of pages ago.

Yes I know. But in an interview it's quite normal for an ex-captain or chairman to wear his jacket. To the interviewee he might seem a bit stuffy - when in fact he is representing the club and members and so wearing his club jacket

I can see that bit too; not to go round and round in circles with the argument but I refuse to be judged on my suitability to join a golf club (and my potential contribution to that club) based on my ability to knot a piece of material around my neck, I will not be defined by such things

Without going back over it all - I haven't been suggesting that you would be so judged. All that I have said is that in the context of the interview - wearing a jacket and tie is a nice touch and would most probably be appreciated by the interviewers. So why not just wear a j&t if you have one. It's nice to be appreciated.
