Dress code in an AGM?

Hilarious isn't it. I hope his wife doesn't pass before he does, he won't be very popular with the rest of the family 😳
You could just have asked that question straight to me‍ but I suppose there is less fun in that 🤷‍♂️

Neither of us are having a funeral, already been discussed and agreed. No issue there, sorry to disappoint.

I'm with you on a lot of things but this no funerals thing is pretty unique to you I think. I hate funerals and would love not to go to them but I didn't think life worked like that. 😄 When one of my parents sadly passes, I can't imagine not going to the funeral or what that would look like to the rest of the family.
 
My Canadian cousin is over in a couple of weeks and has invited me to join her for a round of golf and lunch at super fancy Brocket Hall where she's staying.
I thought I'd better check the dress code, it being posh and me being a pleb. Jeans and trainers are fine. And I can apparently land my helicopter in the grounds by prior arrangement.

Definitely not unique, see post #225. I've also seen it happen increasingly with other people that we are aware of. Definitely not common, no question, but becoming more acceptable. Ultimately, you make your own decisions, no right or wrong.

How convenient.

I wish I could make my own decisions but I have to ask my carer. She’s told me I will have a funeral. My choice is a black bin bag and thrown in the river. She wants me to have the full state funeral, gun carriage to carry the coffin.
 
A new driver costs £500+, irons over a grand, when you start adding in specialist shafts etc after custom fitting these costs can go much higher. GPS watches £500. Shoes are all £100+ now. Even a pro V1 is £4 a ball. By the time a golfer has forked out for all these essentials, there's just no money left to buy a tie.

What if you only have a private jet? Not very inclusive is it :mad:

You left out the new wedges, new bag to put them in and a trolley to have the bag on
 
If the club expects formal attire for the AGM, it makes sense to stick to a smart look. Some clubs might be more relaxed, but turning up well-dressed shows respect. If you're looking for something sharp, https://www.gentlemansguru.com/product-category/wedding-tuxedos/ has some great formal options that could work. A classic suit or even a well-fitted blazer with smart trousers should be enough unless there's a strict dress code in place.

Ours was 14th Feb. I wore jacket and tie...as I always do. Some asked if I was picking up a trophy or summit. Nope - just my way of showing a bit of respect to the club and trophy winners. I was one of only a few other than management, committee or board members who chose to dress so - but I have no issues with that whatsoever.

I was just mulling over whether having people there dressed in a shirt and tie versus having people there smart casually dressed versus people dressed in whatever they wanted would make me feel more or less respected as a club or trophy winner.
I have concluded that, to me at least, it wouldn’t matter a jot.

I wouldn’t feel less respected if I was picking up a trophy and nobody was wearing J&T…it’s just what I do as it’s what I’ve always done and feel it’s appropriate.
