Look the part

I like to be well-dressed on the course, but often my shoes let me down!

I just can't be bothered to clean them after a round.

In Dubai recently, I put them on and then had to take them off as the locker room attendant insisted on cleaning then for me! I now have lovely white shoes again following his damp cloth, scrub, white polish and buff job!

And yes, I tipped him generously!

Having seen how clean they are, I shall be making more of an effort to keep them that way.

Did you pay extra for the buff job ?:mad:

They're not shovels........they are just...................well................slightly large....................with a bit thicker than normal top edge.
 
Crikey! Why on earth would anyone care what someone they were playing with wears!!?????

One of my mates had been wearing shoes that were not just laughing, they were unattached to the sole from heel to toe on one foot for a couple of months (and over winter) until he finally bought a new pair a few weeks back.

Ok I got angry everytime I saw them but it was only faux anger, just to wind him up. And regardless, it hardly affects the way I play!
 
I'm another who has always tried to look smart in any sport he's played. It was dear old dad that told me if you at least look the part you'll feel the part. As to what the playing partners where, I don't really care what they look like (as long as they have golfing attire of course)

Im sure your jesting when you say work boots.
Im certainly not saying I wont play with anyone with dirty shoes and I definitely
don't get wound up about it at all.
I just don't understand it,you can pay a lot of money for shoes and im sure it will
prolong the life of the shoes.
I suppose it does boil down[as Rooter]points out the same in lifes aspects.
Maybe disrespectful to FC was a little over the top,but maybe just having a bit of
pride in how you look.
As I said I dress smartly because it makes me feel good not because im better
than everyone else or snobbish,just got a little pride in my appearance that's all.

I've got pride in my appearance...
At Least I put my makeup on before hitting the course.
How many others of you can say that...?

I'm with you Tony. I like to look the part when on the golf course and look clean tidy and smart. Infact I'm like that in all walks of life, I wouldn't even nip down the shop for a bottle of milk looking scruffy.

I saw a really nice white and blue golf shirt a couple of weeks ago and had to buy it. I wanted to wear it with white shorts so now I had a problem. What belt do I wear, I have black, brown or white. The better option was to go out and buy a matching blue one so I was color coordinated. So that's exactly what I did.........infact it is what I'm wearing in my avatar.

What has always annoyed me is the attitude of some towards outfits suitable for golf. But as long as your wearing trousers and a a collared shirt you are deemed to be dressed correctly to play golf. The fact that I look smarter in my jeans and a collarless shirt than 50% of the senior section do when playing golf at Spalding golf club doesn't matter, but that is just turning up old arguments.......:whistle:
 
I regularly just chuck my water proofs over my work gear (builder) and get out on the course, nobody can tell what's underneath so who cares?

Im guessing the people that have decided the dress code.
 
I played 9 holes the other day with a guy who oversees the tesco delivery service locally. Only realised he was wearing work trousers and a tescos polo shirt when he told me what he did. To me he was dressed fine for golf but expect a few other may have raised an eyebrow
