Why not live life on the edge.

What a crock of nonsense.
Many clubs are flourishing with restricted dress codes in the same way many clubs are struggling with relaxed dress codes.
I can't believe this has racked up 28 pages, I must have inadvertently opened a can of worms!
I think ultimately everyone has a slightly different view on dress codes. But luckily there are huge numbers of courses, each with slightly different nuances on it, so we can just play wherever suits us really.
But to answer my original question - they just let Tiger do what he wants right?![]()
It's a traditional hot topic of discussion![]()
Talking of which, we haven't done the ball flight laws for a while![]()
I assume you are referring to Canford Magna? Personally, I wouldn't want to play there because on the couple of times that I did I thought it was a bit chavvy so I wouldn't spend my money there. I'm happy to spend my money at one of the smarter clubs though.
So yes, they shut due to lack of income but do you see my point?

No from reading your posts you enjoy the smarter snobby style dress codes and that is where you want to spend your money, which is great for you. Some people don't see the need and that may encourage them to try elsewhere just like it encourages you to try elsewhere from the other view point.
The majority sit somewhere in the middle..what people wear has very little bearing on whether a club is successful or not otherwise all clubs with limited dress code would be shutting down and all clubs with harsh dress codes would be thriving yet we know neither of these examples are true across the (w)hole business. It just boils down to our personal preferences.

What the heck is a harsh dress code? A dress code is just a dress code.
Interesting that you refer to my viewpoint as 'snobby'

well that's how you come across
Yup. Reread your posts, they are pretty clear.
I suspect it means that there are quite a large number of dress restrictions which, if the details were shown to a normal (non-golfing) man in the street, he would struggle to believe that there was a rational explanation for them.
Imagine if a golf course stipulated you had to be clean shaven to play!! It's a bit like some of the dress codes we still have in some places... ridiculous!
In fact I suggest that most dress codes are 'no jeans or cargo trousers; collared shirt or other recognised golf top to be worn'
Hardly a large number... besides - adherence to a (pretty simple and relaxed) dress code mindicates a recognition of and respect for the history, traditions and values of our game.
