Mainly fast jet when I worked on aircraft but moved into rotary later. Still doing rotary as a civil servantI wish I was a weekend warrior. How does me saying a boonie makes me sweat so I choose to wear a cap make me lightweight. It’s called trying what works best for you and making sure your comfortable, any fool can just make use of what they’ve got, the smart person uses what works best. Otherwise known as making the best use of what works best for you!! No different to a golfer getting a custom fit to get the kit that works best for them !!
I’ve even had my issued Boonie hat tailored by a Squipper to make sure it performs best for me when I have to use it. I’ll always carry that and a baseball cap and use what is more appropriate to the conditions. Same as on a golf course the hat backwards works best for me
So if you’re ex RAF, Rotary or fixed wing?
Honestly no idea. We used to have a sign in the car park with this on about 20 years ago, we got it taken down as no one could think of a genuine reason why it had ever been put up,
Yes you are reducing your chances of exposure to old men in towels wondering around asking if you have any soap
I've been playing for a while now and pretty much always change my shoes in the car park. Nothing has ever been said to me. Most people I play with do the same.
. It's in the category of sock police, dress codes etc for me. I have no idea why it worked anyone up.

Don’t think it was terrible as such
I've got a feeling it's a throwback to when we all had metal spikes and they would, over time, rip up the tarmac of the car park..although I may be imagining that..
That’s why you’re a soft hotel lad then spannering those fast birds for the fly boys
InterestingI was 22 years in the RAF and was neither rotary or fixed wing
so either Reg, C4i computer geek or Fireman perhaps!
Interesting
Technically I’m neither of those things but all my work I do is with rotary for JAC and CHF. I spend a lot of time getting cold and wet
It's one of life's great mysteries. Countless golf clubs have a "no changing shoes in the car park" rule and nobody is certain why.
Bucket hats is the obvious answer
If I hadn't met you I'd be about 40 years out guessing your age.
rattled a few cages with that mate, it’s probably more down to they never let me play through and I was on my todIt's only yobs and cads who changed their shoes in carparks.
I agree with you there, it's probably the only thing that really winds me up on a golf course.
We allow the changing of shoes in the car park, most people do it anyway. Just checked the dress code for our club, polo's have to be tucked in, no cargo shorts, trousers or denim and caps have to be worn peak forward. We are a regular members club and I don't think the level of enforcement is very high.It’s incase when you bend down to put your shoes on your polo doesn’t pop out from your trousers
