Look the part

Everyone has a right to and indeed does make a judgement about someone the first time they met them in the first 5 or so seconds, based on a number of factors including what you value.

So it does say more about the person doing the judging. In this case they value clean shoes.

But if you are still using that by the time you come off the first green then you will be missing some arguably more important factors. And if you are still doing it when you come off the 18th then you really need to get a life. 😉

I wouldn't care less if they turned up to a job interview in muddy shoes if they were the best person for the job and a good person

I wouldn't even mind if the potential husband turned up at my daughter's wedding looking the same if they were a truly nice person.

You probably would if it were for a shoe shine lmao. And are you sure you would be really happy with a dirty pair of shoes in the picture when everything else is pristine.

Get my rod, people are so easy to reel in, especially the ones with scruffy dirty shoes and a lack of respect.

There was a young man from Tiree
Who had manky shoes on the tee
When asked what's the craic
He went on the attack
Crying, how dare you judge me!

I haven't read all the posts but I've seen quite a lot of people off here in the flesh and the saying "you can put a pig in a suit and it'll still grunt" springs to mind :smirk:

Totally agree with you, I know that I do not look the best in golf gear, just does not suit me. I know that baseball caps do not suit me but it keeps the sun out of my eyes and the rain off my glasses. As for sparkling clean shoes, it depends on the time of year. My golf shoes are a bit like me car. I clean it all the time in the summer as there is some chance of it staying that way for more than 5 minutes. I clean it less in the winter as after 10 minutes of the road it is filthy again. Same with golf shoes, do not see the point spending time getting them sparkling in winter when they are going to be dirty again within a hole or 2.

Would really not understand judging people on any of this or making assumptions.

I had my first round in a while last night. Took down the Adidas X-Traxion from the loft and took the CIF and toothbrush to them. I think they were the brightest thing on the course.

I will not be cleaning my shoes before tomorrows game Rob.:ears:

Actually don't need to, the course is totally dry, no mud to be seen. You could wear your slippers mate.:thup:

Just found this thread....

Why would you not want to look presentable? I'm not saying everyone should wear the latest brands & fashions, but a quick iron of the shirt/trousers/shorts. Shoes spruced up & old mud cleaned off. (More than anything, old mud will hinder the grip the shoes can give).

It just seems common place to me to be smart.

But I guess I was brought up in ATC (Air Training Corps), Beavers, Cubs,Scouts where inspections were a common occurrence. Also when I played rugby (even at 10/11 years old) we turned up for every match, home or away, in shirts, club tie, trousers, clean shoes. If our boots weren't cleaned from the previous match, we got extra "warm up" laps from the coach.

Ridiculous, I do clean my shoes and dubbin them every now and then to keep the leather healthy but that's all, same as I used to do with the footy boots.
As for ironing, just

Winter golf - Old pair of shoes and waterproofs. Only ever cleaned by heavy rainfall. No one would know the difference after a couple of holes anyway.

Summer golf - Dozens of tops, many pairs of shorts to mix and match and half a dozen pairs of shoes of various makes and colours help keep me smart when it matters (in my opinion).

I do have a three or four pairs of older FJ's I keep mainly for winter golf. Not all are as waterproof as they once were but a pair of Sealskinz socks on and it makes no difference. I tend to wear darker clothes in the winter as they get hidden under waterproofs anyway and it's no fun trying to get mud out of light coloured trousers
