Golf trousers not allowed on course.

[louise_a]

I have a couple of pairs of Ping golf trousers I wear in the colder weather, today I played at Hindley Hall ahead of a club match there on Sunday, In the pro's shop were the rules of unsuitable dress, one of which was trousers with rivets on the pockets, which is what my Pings have.

I've noticed lately that a number of golf specific ladies trousers are looking more like smart denim (rivets, 2 plain open back pockets) plus items like cargo pockets which are often frowned upon too.

I personally can't see how any ban could be enforced if they are official golf attire.

Golf is so stupid. Ties in nicely to Mike's thread about dress code.

We played a ladies match at John O Gaunt once and one of our players had a golf manufacturers (can't recall the brand) pair of cropped trousers on that looked like a smart denim. She was advised she could play in them but couldn't enter the clubhouse in them as they were denim.

I have several pairs of trousers that i wear when playing golf (Hilfiger,not Ping),none are denim,but they do have rivets on the front pockets.I pride myself on my appearance,and always make an effort to look smart,clea,and tidy (see my posts about dirty shoes lol) I've never been challenged as to whether they are "correct golf attire" and/or told that they are in breach of the clubs dress code.
Really makes my pee boil when people nit pick about small details likes rivets,but are happy to let some of there members wander around in filthy shoes and trousers,and moth eaten sweaters,because what they are wearing is "proper golf attire".

Rant Over.

I wouldn't worry. Just show them the Ping logo and tell them they are specifically bought for the purpose and challenge them to prove otherwise

a few years ago TIGER started to sport collarless shirts and in my nieve state of mind bought one for my society's captains day only to be told by the club pro at CONWYN that it didn't meet the clubs dress code,when i told him i bought it from A.G and that TIGER wore one he laughed and said if WOODS turned up in one he would be told the same,i bought a £3.99 polo shirt from a shop in the town ,no way was he getting a penny from me.

How is official golf attire defined then?
Just because a manufacturer makes something to be worn for golf it does not oblige any club to consider it appropriate. Nike make some trousers and shorts for golf with cargo pockets, yet lots of clubs expressly forbid them.

The rivet rule is a whole new level of stupidity though.

 

[garyinderry]

cargo pants are super handy for golf. plenty of pockets to keep tees, lighters, fags, markers and scorecard.

my old course has no problem with them.

I've got a pair of cut off denim jeans from markies that i sometimes wear - they dont have any rivets, so look like normal 'golf' trousers. Oh how i laugh when i get to the 18th and i've managed to keep them on

honestly...the world has gone mad...

Are you known for whipping them off before the 18th then

Anbother unusual (to me anyway) rule was if you take relief from staked trees its a one shot penalty. I thought generally it was a free drop.

Depends on the "local rule".

Our local rule is, nearest point of relief and then 1 club length, no penalty.
