Those Nike collarless polo shirts

[jamielaing]

A lot of people here saying it does have a collar, what's a non collared shirt then if this has a 'small unfolded collar'? All my t-shirts have them too!

I remember back in the day when Tiger started wearing these a chap showed up for a team game wearing one and was turned away due to his attire. The guy was a painter and grabbed a shirt out of his van that was covered in paint and was allowed to play in that as it had a collar!

Realistically, if it is a shirt made for golf then it should be allowed. Fashion is moving forward, brands are trying to remain cool and ahead of their competitors. Yes it is a step forward and won't please everyone. Yes golf is traditional and it is important to maintain a sense of that tradition in the game but the game, fashion and times evolve and develop. Or shall we all be heading out in plus 4s, flat cap, shirt, tie and jacket.

Now, where's my mashie?

Don't know what t-shirts you're wearing, but none of mine have a collar anything similar to the blade collar on these shirts.

If I marked the round bit of myt shirt I would say I had marked the collar. Surely I haven't been wrong all my life........

T-shirts are collarless, so you have been wrong all your life.

T-shirts have a crew neck, originally they would have been undergarments and therefore needed a flat neck line.

I Love all the Nike gear but at £65 yes they are having a laugh.

Will wait until next year and get it for £25.

It wouldn't bother me at all if somebody I was playing with was wearing one.
Now if they had it untucked....... that's a whole new ball game.

Don't know what the ruling is at my place. I'll stick with the polo shirt and let others worry about running out onto the course to admonish someone... personally, I don't care.

It looked more like a mock turtle neck to me, which is fine by me and my club. Personally I have 3 mock turtle neck short sleeve tops and they look fine with a sleeveless jumper.
As for that yellow Rory had on, I have a similarly coloured polo and the last time I wore it on the course it only took 10 minutes for it to be covered in flying creatures of one size or another. Not a good idea.

Gotta love the weekly dress code debate.

Hmm, but if it's designed to be untucked 😜😜

I have a couple of iliac shirts that are similar in design and I like them cos it's different to the run of the mill polo's.

Most of my gear is Nike, but I will pass on them. They look like the suit a muscular physique which I don't have.

This subject came up in the bar recently and the consensus from the steward would be that they are allowed in the bar and so by default should be allowed on the course. A director of the club said the same. Personally I wouldn't wear them but if a golf manufacturer puts them out there why wouldn't they be allowed. That said I wonder what happens if you rock the Nike shirt at Sunningdale and New Zealand this week and try the "Rory wears one" gets you

I think just being lilac is different enough 😜

I know the old Tiger Woods collarless shirts were banned at Stoke Rochford when I joined there. I was told at interview when I joined.

May be wrong but did I read somewhere that Puma are making a range of shirts that are designed not to be tucked in. That could cause some fun.

I got a few other shirts as well, they are really nice to wear, very different and some really stand out. I've also got the head covers as well and are great quality too.

We had big rows when the Tiger Woods turtle knock shirt were first worn. Finally we took the view that we would have no problems if we allowed them but potentially big arguments if we banned them.

What, like this Robin??

People saying shirts like these shouldnt be allowed is the reason why golf is dying among young people.

With the rules at most clubs you could wear tartan trousers and a fluorescent shirt as long as it has a collar. If you cant wear, say, navy trousers and a plain grey nike shirt with a fly blade collar (even though that would look much smarter) its just silly and petty.
