Actually, if I was​ going to cheat, I'd ensure I was the best dressed player there to make sure nobody suspected a thing.

I never understand the problem with dress codes
There isn't many clubs where it is that strict , most clubs just require clean golf attire and don't look a scruff - it's the club's choice to have that dress code.
If someone doesn't like a dress code at a specific club then don't play there - for me it's a bit disrespectful to turn at a club and play with attire that isn't allowed at the club.
If someone wants to change the dress code at the club then join the committee or put forward a motion at AGM time. I can't recall anyone ever not wanting to play at Course because of their dress code - people always make their effort.
And for people who believe a clubs dress code is too stuffy then there is always a club nearby that has no issues with people wearing whatever they want - in my experience they are normally the poorer standard of course though.

What amuses me is that trouser that are really jeans are allowed (see the pro-Tours) yet if they are denim they are banned.

Go on then, I'll be the one to take the flak.
I have - on more than one occasion - not played a course because their dress code involves jacket and tie afterwards.
I have also taken one job over another because of a more relaxed dress code.

It is of course your decision, you are aware of the standards applicable at that club and chose not to play, I have done exactly the same at courses where the dress code is more 'relaxed'

i have never not to played a golf course because of their "on course dress code'' but on numerous occasions i have decided to use the pub up the road for food and drinks after as i cant be arsed with their club house dress code. that's probably about £100 a time the club missed out on

I'm sure they wouldn't have missed either of us
In your case though, is that not stereotyping the type of person you'd expect to find there?
I think anyone who deliberately doesn't wear what a club requests they do as a rule whether playing at their home course or when visiting another is risking being asked to leave the course/club on the day and if it's a constant repeat offence, then risks being blackballed.
If you know the rules of any club, then abide by them or leave it and take your hard earned elsewhere, simples.
I expect those habitual moaners of club golfing attire and any other club rules are those that no longer hold the door open for women or give up their seat for anyone in more need of it and quite simply are selfish individuals who have issues with authority and little thought for others :smirk:

But you would play the course though - dress code for eating or clubhouse is a different kettle of fish.

To some degree of course it is, I make no apologies for holding my opinions, I would rather play at a club where I am pretty sure that dress standards are maintained as I would wish them to be.
I was asked today why my name wasn't down for the 'Evening with the Captain' meal & disco, I simply said it was because it's a Black Tie!
I would wear a jacket & tie, as I do for all my team matches but I'll be damned if I've got to hire a black tie suit to go to a golf do. The only time I hire one is the odd boxing events I attend.
This has nothing to do with rules though, but I think the numbers for these functions would be higher and would involve a more younger attendance if they weren't black tie.

Just out of curiosity, why are you prepared to hire one for a boxing event but not a golf event?

i would say because a boxing night out is worth it. standing around in a clubhouse? maybe not
Because I believe there is a history of attending boxing events in a black tie and I don't mind hiring one then for the big events which is less than once a year.
That against a simple dinner dance at the golf club where a jacket & tie would more than suffice and attract far more people other than the old guard who all own a black tie..
We had a Gentlemen's Evening arranged last year, meal, comedian etc, but it got cancelled due to a poor attendance, it was a black tie advertised event.
If it hadn't been black tie and was smart casual or collar and shirt it would have been rammed, you think they'd learn?

I believe it is written in our rule book that it is every members duty to ensure traditions etc are followed.
Enforcer is a strong word but I get the concept, the committee can't be everywhere so if someone tips up with jeans or an untucked shirt almost all members will say something, in the same way they'll ask visitors if they are enjoying themselves etc.
I don't get the on course dress code issue, it baffles me that folk don't want to golf in golf attire. I understand issues with clubhouse rules and some clubs need to lighten up. We also have went elsewhere for post round food and drinks because of collar and tie in the clubhouse rules.

Especially with juniors its pointless, once they grow to love golf they will naturally want the stuff the pros have and that includes shoes, until then who cares what they wear so long as it doesn't cause damage
