Golf trousers not allowed on course.

So Justin Rose can wear magenta/cerise/pink trousers at yesterdays Honda classis, yet you can't wear tiny rivits? weird.

No rivets, that is a classic! Did you ask the logic behind it?

Denim/Denim style I believe. Club may have had issues in the past - and may still be living there!

Only problem I see with 'standards' is that there has to be some definable point where you say 'this is not acceptable'. And clothing/fashion does have a remarkable ability to change and make what were 'reasonable standards' at one stage out of date - TW's mocks being the classic example. I knew 1 club that covered itself pretty well by reviewing the standard every year and allowing anything sold in the Pro shop to be worn also.

Some people obviously have too much time on their hands and too full of their own self importance. Little men and women who finally have grasped some form of power and desperately hang on to it.

Would have been funny I suppose to listen in to that particular discussion!

Nice attitude - not!

Club was part of a 'Resort' so had obligations. Once the 'anything the shop sells' standard came in, the 'discussion' normally took about 5 seconds.
 
All this talk of living in the past or people hanging on to power makes me laugh. The club have these rules in place and that is their choice. If the members were not happy they could/would change the rules. There are plenty of other clubs to spend your green fees at if you don't like the rules attached to one particular club.

It's not an attitude it is an opinion.

Obligations on two tiny rivets that wouldn't be noticeable from 10 feet away? Even if they were why would that even merit a "decision"?

I have never met anyone who would be offended at such a trivial matter but would enjoy the conversation.

As for being what is sold in their shop, who do you think decides that?

Indeed it is their choice, however this thread was put up for discussion of the said rivets.

I thought forums were for people to discuss things and offer their opinions?

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.

Can't understand this thing some clubs appear to have about not wearing mocks. Been around since well before Tiger.

Maybe they just had very lax standards at Royal Lytham and St Annes in 1969. ;)
 
Oh how we laughed a few years ago when one of my group was told his trousers did not fit the dress code, his reply was I just brought them from your pro shop and you should not be selling the stuff on site if we cant wear it. Cue red faced old bluffer wandering off grumbling to himself..........
 
Some of the traditions are welcome but some are just out of date and silly, i still dont like the idea of people wearing jeans/denim on the course, i have been trying to understand why i have an objection to them and i can't. Maybe its just as i said at the beginning, tradition. To add to the "rivets", i remember not that long ago, i was told by a very close friend that when adidas brought out their new range of golf shoes that look just like trainers and a few courses in the local area banned them, not for long though, they had to change their opinion.
