Is that true, I often see be-helmeted riders in our local petrol station.
Dress code and BAME

Almost all petrol stations I visit require you to remove helmets, hoodies ect and look into the CCTV camera before filling up.
Next time I fill up I might wear a balaclava and see how far I get.

Yet you raised it
No I didn't - the whole point of the post was about Dress code and BAME and the only thing that this could really refer to is such as this.
My point actually is more about the sort of discrimination claimed by lady golfers wanting, but unable, to join certain gents-only golf club. That is described as discrimination that comes about due to the rules of the clubs - and so pressure is brought to bear on the clubs to change rules of club to allow ladies to join. And so would this be were the dress rules of the club deemed to be such that they would exclude from membership those of certain faiths.

I don't understand the issue.
Golf should be for everyone that wants to play. If they have certain beliefs, I don't see why they shouldn't be respected and accomodated.
If anyone that feels it isn't fair would like to be allowed to wear a burka to play golf then I certainly have no objection to you doing so. It might even make some people look better....

And so do people that wear various other items of clothing. In fact, I saw a robber wore a t-shirt in one instance, lets ban those.
It's irrelevant to a thread about attire at the golf course, unless you're concerned about armed robbers on the 10th green?

I myself would take the same view on dress rules in respect of clothing of ethnic minorities as I would for clothing for the rest of us. So I'd relax dress code completely for juniors and maybe under 21s to allow them to wear such as jeans and tee-shirts. The only limitations would be - no football shirts as they can cause conflict, and no tee-shirts with words or images that might cause offence. Avoid conflict and offence - wear just about what you want on the golf course IMO

Whilst dress is of no real importance to my post my regular playing partner is Indian as is another guy I play with often, his mate who joins us is black, and they are all brilliant company and a pleasure to see at a club, along with others who, 15 years ago just wouldn't have been members. I hope what I've said comes across in the positive way that I've tried to express it

I don't see any problem - I don't wear specialised golf gear apart from shoes and waterproofs (and I've never seen a club ask that members/visitors do) - I wear a pair of trousers, a polo shirt and a sweater - and not seen a religion that insists on jeans or untucked shirts
One of the guys at the Scotland KOKs wore a bright red turban - great company and a lovely guy
The article linked to by the original poster also says nothing about dress codes

I think the OP was extrapolating from the article to a possible position of controversy

I played along with the guy wearing the turban at the KOKs at St Andrews . I can tell all he's a proper gent and superb company.I don't see any problem - I don't wear specialised golf gear apart from shoes and waterproofs (and I've never seen a club ask that members/visitors do) - I wear a pair of trousers, a polo shirt and a sweater - and not seen a religion that insists on jeans or untucked shirts

His forum signature is LIG and he told me it stands for Little Indian Guy.
He is a mathematics tutor which came in quite handy that particular day , as he was marking El Bandito's card.:rofl:
