Dress code.....again!

[bluewolf]

So you have to look smarter outdoors on the golf course than indoors in the clubhouse.
That's weird

Or, you could say that you have to wear the requisite golf "uniform" on the course but can wear your usual casual wear in the clubhouse. Just like the rugby club, or your local cricket club (not the big clubs though obviously) etc.

I've got an old pair of 28" hipsters you could have if they're not too baggy for you.
They seem to have shrunk over the years

Is that the inside leg measurement?

Nice of them to let the greenstaff come in and hold the Cup for a few minutes

Never mind their jeans, some of their footwear is shocking

At least they took their caps off...

Only problem being I don't recognise half of them without their caps being on ...

Well I for one think the RC uniform is pretty much spot on for todays society.

Smart yet casual too, perfect.

It's a good look, I hope they bring it home now.

Come on Europe!

Agreed - nice pair of dark brown brogues with jeans and lighter brown jacket - OK look IMO - however deck shoes - especially dark uppers and white sole - no - not a good look. Such deck shoes should only be seen with shorts (no socks) and in the yacht club.

I think there is one big problem here. This and other certain subjects like 'new ball flight laws' and 'slow play' raise there heads on a regular basis. Problem with dress is you have a bid divide between the traditionalist and the modern thinker. One will never agree with the other. I am on the modern approach to dress code in the clubhouse, but I do not have any problem with adhering to a clubs dress code as my club is in the more traditional way of thinking.

I just honestly believe in this day and age golf clubs could benefit from being less stringent in the clubhouse. I have been travelling back past the golf club on several occasions on a weekend afternoon. Would have popped in for a drink and natter if I had been wearing trousers and a shirt. Problem is I was wearing very smart designer jeans and shoes so would not have been allowed in.

I can go into fancy expensive restaurants wearing jeans, shoes and a shirt now, but can't enter the bar at a golf club. But hey that is how it is, so no matter how much I agree with places should take a more modern approach to clubhouse dress code, it is not going to happen while people think that jeans are for cutting the lawn in.

If you honestly believe that, then this world must be an awful, awful place for you to be...

you didnt finish your sentence!

I'm not the only one thinks this way, however I think you're over reacting with that kind of comment but I stick with my comment, the clothes maketh the man:thup:

In a world where trashy tv has replaced a night at the Palledium, modern celebs no longer require suits to be seen on tv and Barry Manilow has been replaced in the charts by young scruffs like Coldplay, you must be pulling your hair out at every turn! Even the Government, the very men who run this country, are shown on TV without a tie! Anarchy!

Men?

Who's old fashioned now?

If there's one thing worse than jeans at a golf club, it's got to be cargo trousers.

 

[backwoodsman]

Couple of things have struck me about this thread.

1. How desperate some people seem to be to be able to wear jeans at all times? Opinions on smartness aside, when all is said and done, they are only trousers.
2. That there appear to be places that people would very much like to go to, but they won't/don't simply because they can't wear their personal choice of clobber. If there was somewhere I really wanted to go, but could only do so if I had to wear a pink tutu and checquered leg-warmers - then I'd be off down the shops. (Actually, I'd be going to my "special" wardrobe but that's another story)

Why dont we have the Mother of all debates then about taking a long time to shape the ball in trainers!

Oh, thank you so much for explaining that!

Depends whether you are going to use S&T or Weight Transfer - and how many wedges!

not very well and misguided based on that retort
