Is this the future of dress codes?

[Snelly]

I would not play at a golf club that allowed a hoody and cut off jeans as part of a dress code.

Nor would I play golf with anyone who uses the word "banter." I hate that expression. Seems to be defined as a free pass to insult people in a laddish, Mockney manner. An excuse to be offensive and gratuitous where the person being spoken to cannot respond cos it's only banter innit?

Banter - a low grade of gutter humour, but for stupid people, too thick to comprehend wit.

He's probably had a stroke reading that!

One was of course Joshing with ones response, its jolly good for morale!

Only on daisy duke!!! Not Jessica Simpson either, the original.... And the girl from 'some kind of wonderful'

It's also a great look with cowboy boots. On a woman obviously, not a man. That would just be, well, wrong.

Actually, I've never worn my cowboy boots in the clubhouse.... might give that a go on Saturday, it is afterall, club championship day!

Ive just returned from my golf club[if you can call it that].

On the 7th hole was a guy in 3/4 length trousers and a muscle vest and tattoos up both arms.

Surely wether its a muni or not this is wrong.

I agree 100% Tony but seems there are plenty who think it's fine.

This doesn't sound as liberal as you are suggesting?

[h=3]Dress Code[/h]At Wimbledon Common Golf Club we try to steer a line between having too draconian a dress policy which may alienate younger members, or having an "anything goes" policy.
[h=3]Red On The Course[/h]On the course a requirement of the Conservators is that all players must wear a plain pillar-box red outer garment and the Rangers, who patrol the common, are empowered to stop people playing if they contravene this rule. Red garments and waterproofs can be hired from the club for a fee of £3 for a polo shirt and £5 for a waterproof. And please note that trainers, T-shirts, tracksuits are not accepted.
[h=3]Nineteenth Hole[/h]You may wear golf clothing in the bar – dry and clean, please! Otherwise dress should be smart casual in the clubhouse - again, please, no trainers, T-shirts or tracksuits. Jeans are acceptable, provided they're not of the scruffy variety! If you need to have your mobile with you, please set it to silent, and if you need to make a call, do so out of the building, and away from others. Otherwise you may find yourself having to make an unexpected contribution to the Captain's charity!

Trust me, this is a huge step forward. When I was a member back in the early 80's it was still jacket and tie after 7.30pm, certainly no denim. They are obliged to wear red tops as its common land.

Not sure about the muscle vest - three-quarter troos - maybe - just. Vest is stretching my acceptance of change a bit far - was the bloke under 21yrs old as that is my cut off age for 'just about anything goes'? If not - unacceptable attire - but you can tell him where to get off

But what is actually "wrong" with it?
OK its not the best clothing to wear and he may look a complete knob but he's paying his money, helping to keep the club going, hopefully enjoying himself and potentially becoming a member or long time player.
Why does clothing offend?
To be honest I can sometimes feel the same about Loudmouth troos or similar...
What, really, is the difference..?

I am offended in the fact that you were not offended!

On my course probably nothing wrong with it,its a muni and anything goes.
On a more upmarket course you would never get away with it.

However outside the signing in hut there are pictures that says no vests.

I'm offended by the fact you were offended that someone was not offended when someone else was offended.

Ok, but why is there a problem with what someone wears?
Why does somone suddenly become undesirable simply because of the clothes they wear?
Apart from offending the offending the fashion police, can someone explain wh6 this is a problem?
