Look the part

I clean my golf shoes after every round. I ought to clean my clubs too, but I don't.

I always try to lose a clean ball though, they are easier to find.

Allegedly.
 
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?

A proper builder would have womens tights on underneath in winter, or are you more of a stockings man?

I find that crud encrusted shoes keep you better balanced. I used to be a shoe cleaner, but since reading an article in the saddos gazzette, I stopped doing it and it led to me getting down to single figures........

Sheesh.

I can understand how some like to look smart, some not bothered, but to actually judge someone based on muddy shoes, that takes the biscuit.

Is there a muddy shoe scale - maybe like a litmus paper?

I used to dress in golf gear to go to the range but now I do go in jeans sometimes, but it still doesn't feel right!
 
I personally clean my shoes and clubs after every round (OCD) as far as my playing partners, as long as they're not breaching club rules regarding dress then I guess I'm not too fussed. It does irritate me when they've not brought any spare clothing for the bar/clubhouse though!

Spare clothing? Don't you just chuck on a pair of shoes?

I think you should always change into a fresh shirt at least before going into the bar although it doesn't bother me when others don't. Certainly doesn't irritate me, just find it a bit odd that people don't want to freshen themselves up a bit.

Especially if trousers are muddy

I will always put some deodarant on but not sure I could be bothered taking spare shirt every time especially for roll up games. I do take spare set though if it's wet or muddy so I guess I could do it every time. Laziness I guess
 
I'll always shower after a round, and then depening on the weather, pop a tee shirt and shorts on or jeans if its coldish. Couldnt not have a shower after golf and if im having a shower i'd not put what I was wearing back on!

Same, if I'm staying for drinks or food (which is most of the time) then its shower and change. On the occasion I havnt then its not comfortable sitting in the bar
 
I wouldnt find it disrespectful that someone wouldnt clean their shoes 'for me' so to speak, we are not going on a date and they have ruined there chances of pulling because of the mud on their shoes.

Having said that, it definitely says something about the person, whether you like it or not. I dont think the shoes need to be spotless, but if they are completely covered in mud or clothes are dirty/smelling then I think that person might have hygene issues and doesnt take much pride or care in their appearance.

Addressing another issue, why clean them if they are just going to get dirty would imply that you wouldnt ever make your bed because it will just get slept in again, nor clean your house...etc...etc... I am afriad that is an even more worrying thought process.

At school we would get detention if our shoes werent polished at assembly, the sock rub technique was a favourite.
 
Haven't read all the replies but a great cure to dirty shoes .. baby wipes ,


quick rub after the round or shortly after and job is a good un , heavy dirt in the winter with the air thingy then quick rub round with the wipes , all gud
