Has anybody done a correlation yet on views towards white socks and their voting intentions on Brexit? Surely the two must be related?

I'll save you reading all 25 pages. There are two camps:
1 / What the hell does it matter what socks you wear, why does the rule exist?
2/ Those are the rules, wear the socks you are told to wear
By all means read the 25 pages and have a good chuckle but I think that is a fair summary
Point 1, its 2019ðŸ‘
Point 2, do folk not know its 2019😳

What about the fact that dark socks look naff with shorts wherever they are worn

I know! The "and their ladies" bit about dress code is especially outdated. What would happen if a male member's partner was a man?

Socks of any sort, other than trainer socks, look naff with shorts.

Is the correct answer.
played with two members and no one said a word, playing with one of them again on Sat so will ask him

You know I think half the problem is that many clubs may not have established any dress code for their members
They either:
Find a dress code picture on the internet (you know the ones) and write some words around it considering what it suggests to them
Copy dress code text from another golf club website & make a couple of guilty random tweaks (so it doesn’t look like they ‘stole’ it)
Amend an existing dress code multiple times over many many years rather than redo it periodically
None of the above represents any thought process or consideration towards what would be a suitable dress code for their members for this year

Slab, I think you have nailed it on the head for most courses. It is a Pavlov's dog job on the whole.

But me i have to wear trainer socks. Any sports socks set my ankles off with an ankle rash. It is purgatory. Fortunately i have stumbled across lancaster sun cream which massively helps. I even wear low socks in the winter. Thermal/ winter socks just make the condition worse. So fashion, club rules etc etc are not much of a consideration for me. Comfort every time.

One would also suggest that when a dress code is “foundâ€. It is found by someone over the age of 65 that.
A, has no dress sense.
B, is dressed by his mother.

Didn't know that about Luffness, played it a good few years ago and wasn't overly impressed with it. I can now add Luffness to a well known Fife track that I won't ever visit in the summer now due to ridiculous rules re "stockings"!

Most of the dress code issues are mainly see at Members clubs - the thing about a Members club is if the members don’t like them or agree with them they can get them changed through their normal channels - it has happened at our place. And most of the dress codes are just passed down from each committee to each committee and nothing will change unless someone wants it too. And it only needs one member to put the request in
In other clubs they are normally from the owner or from the pro or secretary etc and even then it just needs someone to ask the question why
So I think most of the dress code issues can be solved by just asking the question and if you want put in a proposal to get them changed - if you go to a Members club and you don’t like the dress code it’s better to remember that the dress code is there because the members want it

It may take one member to ask but it would take a majority at AGM to get things changed.
And as the code has been in place for years the chances of drumming up enough support for a change are slim...many simply roll with status quo without thinking about it

Yet we have managed to get a number of things changed via the AGM especially in regards the dress code.

Yep in many clubs rules have changed over the years. Seen it happen in most clubs I have played especially when it comes to dress codes where I have seen them change between visits. Maybe you should give Members clubs a touch more credit
