Or 'a club that maintains traditions and standards'! Nothing wrong with either/both styles.Forward thinking club....??
Isn't there a 'casual' bar/area? There should be at any club that has 'old style' dress standards imo. To me, crocs (or trainers) are ok as long as with socks. Happy that shirts need to be tucked in. I've played at a course that has zero dress standards for clubhouse, but the usual ones for on the course. It's quite deliberate - to not dissuade members from calling in on way home from work for food/refreshment.
My dress code at home permits my wife to wear crocs whilst gardening.No. Crocs are never ok. And wearing crocs with socks is a crime ?
Two weeks ago one of our club matches was cancelled due to the heat (37°!) and the following week one got cancelled due to a thunder storm, both in the south east.Some of you in London and The SE will NOT understand this!
It was President’s Day at our Club yesterday and lo and behold the Competition was cancelled due to heavy overnight rain which continued throughout the day.
When you read about other people being able to hit hybrids out of fairway bunkers and think "I'll try that". ?
Nothing wrong with fairway bunkers that allow a good golfer to hit a long shot out of it.It's not a bunker if you can hit a hybrid out of it.
It's a sand filled indentation.
Matt Fitzpatrick probably agrees with this point.Nothing wrong with fairway bunkers that allow a good golfer to hit a long shot out of it.
Apologies, I have a different concept of 'crocs'. The FJ footwear in the op of this sub-thread are what I consider crocs. Others might consider then sandals.No. Crocs are never ok. And wearing crocs with socks is a crime ?

I agree that 'crocs' as often worn by kitchen, or even nursing/operating theatre/theater staffhave no place in golf (except perhaps clubhouse kitchen). Apols for the confusion.
The visibility of naked feet anywhere on a golf course property, bar showers, is a no-no imo! But those sandals (some call them slides over here), with socks and sans-spikes would be fine by me in a casual dress area, but I wouldn't create a fuss if they weren't.
There's little/no dress code in most of the courses I play. US courses at my price level tend to be keener on sales than rigorous dress standards.
I share that pain. You are not alone.Why can't I aim properly? Hit it lovely this morning, but couldn't line up for toffee.
I said the same about Crocs, then the wife bought some and I used them a couple of times out of laziness, I now live in mine.No. Crocs are never ok. And wearing crocs with socks is a crime ?
