is this normal? dress code question

[AdamC28]

Ridiculous.
I nearly always do that in winter as I don’t like wearing double collars.
In fact I have a TW Nike golf top that is collarless, would this not be allowed?

One of the oddities of golf is you often see ladies with a plain tee shirt under a jumper and nothing is said

Where I play if it sold as a golf shirt then it is acceptable.

I bet this turns into a massive argument over how the pro is well within his right to uphold the dress code, when in actual fact, he made a *** of himself.

All seems a bit silly and a lack of common sense from the pro - he can prob hide under “ must follow the rules “ but in the winter surely many just wear a tee shirt etc

Almost seem unbelievable that a pro would act like this ? Guess we won’t know what club it was

I turned up at a certain golf club a few days back as I heard they had a good sale on. whilst I was perusing two guys walked in (non members) paid for their round and upon walking out one of them said "hold on, they've got that ping jumper I've been looking for". the guy removed his scalf and galvin green jacket. he was left wearing a plain black collarless t-shirt. the pro said he couldn't play as he wasn't wearing the correct cloths. the guy simply replied " it's freezing outside, this galvin jacket is not coming off I can promise you that. if for some bizarre reason it should heat up 10 degrees i accept I'm stuck wearing this jacket"
the pro was having non of it and refunded their green fee. thoughts?

I think I am going to stand a little alone on this, but what you have said, kind of proves that the guy removed his jacket and was not complying with the clubs dress code in the clubhouse/pro shop or course.

So I can see the other side of the argument, its not so black/white imho.

What would be gained by naming the club?
You going to phone the pro for his side of the story?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Seems daft. Had the guy simply turned up, ignored the jumper on sale and gone out no-one would have cared. Granted it may have been an issue in the clubhouse afterwards but at least the round would have been done and dusted.

 

[patricks148]

seems a little over the the top, esp as its winter and he would be wearing his jacket anyway.

Daft.....wonder where it was

So what if he had a conforming shirt on but took it off to try the new one on. Would he then be breaking the club rules and be thrown out at that point. Rediculous I know but so is the original scenario.

What a prize plonker

We have threads that defend dress codes to the hilt, but only when it suits it would appear.

Next time I get challenged on short socks, I will say that I identify as a woman, and therefore entitled to dress in accordance with the women’s socks and shirts rules, ... as well as getting to play off the Red tees

I agree it's black and white, he wasn't wearing a collared shirt and so was contravening that club's rules.

I wouldn't have turned up in a T-shirt if collared shirts were required, even if I was going to be wearing a jacket over it, FFS.

Yeah, I'm actually quite surprised that more dress code enthusiasts haven't come out of the woodwork and defended the pro! I guess where people draw the line is variable.

This isn't what happened and your above example is an example of a golfer complying with the dress code rules on the course/pro shop and in the clubhouse. All he is doing is just trying on new dress wear.

The OP clearly states that the guy turned up not complying with the dress code rules. His defence was he would not take off his jacket(which is very weak, as if you wish to play the course make sure you comply with the clubs rules) but then went on to take off his jacket in the pro shop, so destroying his weak defence.

When I attend a golf club I ensure I comply with their dress code rule, easy as that. Even if I do not personally agree with them, I still comply with them as I wish to play the course.

I think they'd love to.....
I can't believe more people aren't out in support of the pro either. Fancy siding with a T shirt wearing chancer.

Bizarre reaction from the pro. If a golfer wears a golfing jumper / sweater, I presume there is no rule to say what sort of t-shirt / vest they must wear underneath? So, I presume the same must be true if a golfer is wearing a jacket. The only caveat being that, if they were to take their jumper / jacket off during the round, a more strict club will act if they are playing in a collarless t-shirt / vest.

As has also been mentioned, a few golfers will wear a neck high jumper / jacket or even a snood at this time of year. So, who cares if a t-shirt has a collar or not?

I wonder of the pro is simply a "snooty" individual, or he is under strict authority by "snooty" members to enforces a very strict policy?
