When I was the "chauffeur" service for my son it annoyed me that, at some clubs, I had to be dressed a certain way to be able to go into the clubhouse bar for a coffee whilst I was waiting for him to finish a coaching session. Sitting in the car park, I would chuckle at some of the sights which emerged from the clubhouse (people in old ill-fitting trousers, baggy jumpers etc), yet my smart/casual jeans were not allowed across the threshold.

This thread really is the proverbial "Old Chestnut" it comes around now and again and never ever fails to raise the hackles of both the for and against camps or should I say the younger end and the middle aged end. It makes me laugh when nowadays you can wear bright pink slacks,lemon checked t shirt and trainers with spikes and this newer apparel still isn't enough to satisfy the younger end of the golfing spectrum.
Some players will never be satisfied until they can wear jeans,t shirts or combats and hoodies, I cannot see those times coming in my generation when I'm gone I think this will be par for the course, however I still do not think it will be enough and the younger end that are attacking the status quo now will find themselves under attack by their juniors one day. I'm afraid it is the way of the world.

I am quite happy with my Clubs policy of no jeans, but what does amaze me is anyone who wouldn't play a course that didn't allow jeans. You would miss out on so many fantastic courses, and please don't think they would miss you not playing them.
Whilst i couldn't care less if anyone wants to play with jeans on why the hell would they??
I couldn't think of anything more more uncomfortable to wear than jeans!

I'am not young, but thanks draw boy.
I just don't see how what i wear dictates what sort of person i'am or how i behave on the golf course.

The OP was talking about jeans being allowed in the clubhouse, not on the course.
Regardless,how anyone would want to play in jeans beats me.

Lots of interesting answers both for and against dress code policy.
As stated in my OP, I can see both sides of the argument. We are a relatively wealthy club with a full membership and a waiting list so it's not as if we are doing this to raise badly needed income. I would be quite happy with a code that allowed jeans after a certain time on say Friday and Saturday evenings so that groups of members going for a night out could meet at the club, have a couple of drinks there then move on. Not sure I'm happy about a blanket 'jeans anytime' rule though.
Richard, this is my first club, Nick there was no consultation. Our GM seems to think he has carte blanche to do whatever he wants.

which by definition makes me a slob ? ever so slightly judgemental on your part, and also slightly hypocritical seeing as that short/sock combo on your La Cala vid wouldn't be allowed at most good courses in the UK :ears:
