have i got fleas of something?
Not being funny but do a lot of people bring two sets of clothes to golf?? I've rarely ever felt the need to get changes into t-shirt/jeans/whatever after playing, I just walk straight from the 18th into the clubhouse and have a pint. I've found it strange the number of people in this topic saying their club is starting to allow jeans in the clubhouse only, as that implies a lot of people are getting changed.
Oh fair enough. I don't really visit my golf club other than to play so I didn't think of that. I don't even know what their rule is on jeans in the clubhouse actually. I did go there once when not playing, to meet the club secretary and talk about the membership and whatnot, and I actually wore jeans then without even thinking about it, and he didn't say anything, so I guess it's not a problem there.I'm sure most people are the same after a round of golf, but where it helps is if I'm on my way home from shopping / work / whatever and have jeans on, I can pop into the club for a drink or some food.
If I had to go home to change before the clubhouse lets me in I'd be eating somewhere else.

although dress codes are more informal so pretty much anything goes except beachwear (but sandals/flip flop shoes are fine)
I tend not to sweat too much at golf I guess - unless it's like 30 degrees out, which it rarely ever is. Even if it is hot we'll just sit outside anyway, only popping in to buy the drinks.Yea I'll shower after golf so will have a pair of jeans or shorts and a fresh top ready to put on. Don't like hanging around without showering after really. If it's hot, shorts t shirt or polo and flip flops are the order of the day and sit outside in the sun with a drink.
Sandals are not fine, not anywhere ever, especially not with socks and not in daylight and not if you are under 80 or over 5.
I am surprised cargo shorts are not allowed. They are very practical and look smart. Stupid snobbery or a real reason not to allow them?
Here in AZ when its 110 tucking in your shirt just makes you very hot and sweaty. Nothing wrong with it tucked out, imo.
We can wear cargo shorts at our place and have our shirts out - it does get upto 35-40 degrees in the summer like. Shirts need a collar on still
Whether you agree with it or not, if there is a dress code then you should stick to it
I went to a particular club once for a round wearing a pair of cargo shorts and asked if they were okay but I also had another pair of shorts in the car that I could have changed in to if the club had said no, but they were happy for me to wear them
I think that is the most sensible approach
if in doubt ask and obviously you would rather wear the cargo for practicality so no harm
its funny though no matter how posh the club none have had or can really have issue with proper "loud" trousers lol but if the pocket is in the wrong place lol
I take the opposing view to this. I'm happy to push the boundaries as I believe it's the only way to make a change happen. And whilst in your situation I would likely have another pair of shorts to put on I certainly wouldn't have asked if the cargo ones were ok. I would wait for someone to say something to me first. Then we could have a discussion and if there was no reasoning then I would change. All very pleasant and polite. There's a saying which says it's far better to ask forgiveness than it is to ask permission. This would be one of those occasions.Whether you agree with it or not, if there is a dress code then you should stick to it

As I said, I'm happy to take the opposite approach. I won't ask permission but will change if required after pleasant discussion. Just a different approach is all, I don't condemn yours, it's also fine so you're good 😉Would you not just respect the dress code of the club ? And if unsure your dress is ok then surely the polite respectful way to go is to first ask/check
Anytime I go to a course I check the dress code and then abide by it - for me that's more respectful than pushing barriers and waiting to be told
