Those Nike collarless polo shirts

tiger was wearing similar a long while back I think even Gregg was too.

No I agree speedos on a golf course would not be right. I do think that each sport has its own 'kit' that should be worn. The fact that Nike have designed a new bit of kit which has a non traditional style collar isn't really an issue in my book.

Not that im saying I'd wear one, I don't like them, but it's golf kit so should be allowed anywhere golf is played. Simple really.

If Armani, Versace et al designed those tops and marketed the same tops as their summer wear 2017 would they be allowed on the golf course?

I'm certain they wouldn't.

If had any other logo on it them it would be allowed on any course I play at or have played at because it is a t shirt with a collar!? Plus i've never seen a dress code that stipulate the brand of a t shirt.

Jut out of interest, in your opinion why shouldn't they be allowed? I'm puzzled as to why a pair of trousers with elastic in them means they shouldn't be allowed?

They're not tailored trousers.
 
From the Cambridge dictionary.

tailored adjective (CLOTHES)​
used to describe a piece of clothing that is shaped to fit a person's body closely:
a tailored suit
used to describe clothing that is made for a particular person by a tailor

So they are.

Also, not excluded from the home of golf. "Golfers should wear attire appropriate to the sport and clothing should not be scruffy or torn. The dress code in the clubhouses is smart/casual."

I'm going back to wok now.

So?

Why would whether a pair of trousers are 'tailored' or not make a difference as to why they should be allowed?

because they see themselves as elitist and above the rest. you must abide by the rule of "the blazer brigade" and not wear what those common people wear!!

i dont see how what someone else is wearing can offend anyone. its an issue that is very close to some people. i just don't get it

All I know is the OP is far too old to be wearing one! In fact he was probably too old when granddad tops were all the rage back in the 70s..........!!! ;) :D

I'm elitist because I don't like those trousers that Fowler and Fleetwood wear?? :rofl: :rofl:

I am not, never have been nor will I ever be offended by what people wear.

Golf has a dress code which in my opinion is good for the game. I don't think those trousers worn by Fowler and Fleetwood should be allowed.

Maybe I'm old fashioned, I just don't think they look smart.

Just because it doesn't bother you doesn't make it right on a golf course does it?

I think I will buy one just to annoy people like those on here with such old fashioned attitudes.

No wonder golf's public image is so naff to a lot of the general public. Time to move on surely?

I agree that golf should have a dress code, I disagree with you though that the items in question breach it.

I'm all for a bit of creativity in the outfits that the pros wear. I don't subscribe to the view that dress codes put juniors off, but I certainly don't think it does any harm for golfers to be perceived as being "cool" either.

To be honest though, I'm not a fan of the trousers with elasticated bottoms either. That's from a what I think looks nice perspective rather than a dresscode perspective though.

It sort of goes hand in hand with golf shoes increasingly being trainer-esque rather than a more formal appearance that would go more naturally with more formal looking trousers.

Cheeky git!!
I quite liked them (I for one actually liked Rory's colour choice) but just wondered about them as I know that Cooden's dress code is "collared shirts for gentlemen".
They are too snug fitting for me. "Athletic" cut. I'm not athletic.
Asthmatic maybe.
 
Fashion this is how we get younger people to play golf.
If they think they have to wear their dads clothes they won't play.
I like them but would not wear one they look good on slim lads so that rules me out.
As long as clothes are smart who cares it's 2017.
