I've been playing golf now for well over 15 years, all along the south coast of England. Since starting, i've played at a number of different places with different sets of etiquette, rules & regulations.
One of the topics of hot debate at the moment is whether there should or shouldn't be a dress code? A number of clubs still enforce a full dress code of collared shirts, tailored shorts etc etc. However, a number of clubs are breaking this and opting to allow jeans, t-shirts etc.
My most recent club is Golf At Goodwood: http://www.goodwood.co.uk/golf-at-goodwood/golf-at-goodwood.aspx
Although this place takes pride on its heritage, with Justin Rose being an ambassador you're allowed to wear jeans, bring your dog on the course, and is fairly laid back...
Other courses along the coast are extremely strict, and won't even let you on the course unless your shoes have a certain shine...
What are people's thoughts on this? Should the dress code go, or should it stay?
