EGU Says Relax Dress Codes and Allow Mobile Phones

[bluewolf]

But isn't a reluctance to chat to an FC also a breach of etiquette

Depends on the FC..

To a certain extent yes, I keep stats but do it after my round back at home. When we're walking down the fairway that for me is the chatting to FC time, provided they too want to chat , as we know there are some who don't .

Not sure of the diffence between the time it takes to fill in the score card and enter the same info into golfshot. Which is why i do it on the walk. I usually walk quicker than most to my second shot which is rarely in the same direction as my playing partner. Also other people chatting loudly as they walk down a fairway is as annoying as if they were on the phone!!

Agree people talking too loudly is equally annoying.

As for entering scores, well card is marked on tee so that's sorted, but then you have to get out the phone, swipe the pattern to log in, go to relevant App , select hole and enter score, was it Fir , Gir, left or right , sand save, ...... so much faffing

I haven't read all the replies just a overview but I agree in I wouldn't want to see jeans and hoodies on the course. I mean, it's hard to actually play in those clothes, jeans and hoodies are the worst things to wear to allow movement and have some flexibility.

Clubhouse relaxing of dress I'm more ok with, to an extent. All this is coming from a guy that lives in jeans off the course.

I don't think it was suggested they'd be mandatory for you to wear them though

Part of the argument of wearing jeans and football shirts was affordability on the golf course. Absolute tosh. It can be a lot cheaper wearing golfing attire than Jeans and footy shirts.

can you imagine wearing jeans on the hottest day of the year for 4-5 hours whilst golfing.

There are more important things to deal with in golf than golfing attire. It's about time someone got there finger back on the golfing pulse.
