Those Nike collarless polo shirts

Stuart_C said:
In fairness if they never had a swoosh or 3stripes on the chest you wouldn't be allowed to wear them at most clubs.

Just because Nike on this occasion market it as golf attire doesn't mean it is acceptable.

IMO they shouldn't be allowed on any course.

1) It HAS a collar!!!
2) Why does not wearing a collar affect anyone in the whole world, let alone anyone in the world of golf.

So sad really :(
 
Our club is fairly laid back anyway so they would definitely allow these I reckon. I'd happily wear one too, although I wouldn't actually buy one at the price they sell them for.

This is the type of view I find hard to fathom. I mean, why, how does it affect YOU by someone wearing the top? Simple, it doesn't.
You're correct, it doesn't but I never said it does. I just don't think it's suitable golf attire just because Nike say it's golf attire. It is only my opinion.

Personally I like them, I said as much on Saturday/Sunday at the club as we were watching the golf.
Personally I don't like them.

What other people wear doesn't affect anyone else in the slightest so I really struggle to see why some people are so set against certain things.

So I could wear a pair of speedo's and flip flops for golf because it doesn't affect you?

Where did I say it never had a collar??

It really does not affect me who wears what, but as the thread has been made I've put my own opinion on.

I don't like the style of them, and I'm pretty certain that if Nike or any other major sports brand didn't market them as golf attire they wouldn't be allowed on any of the top courses we've seen them on.
 
I have a couple, wear both (have done for months) and don't see the issue and never been pulled up on it whilst at my club or any other i've played. Whilst it doesn't have the traditional folded collar i'd argue that it does have one so for the pedants there is nothing in most club rules that go as far as stipulating what type of collar a shirt has to have.

From my own point of view I play golf to hit a little white things up and down various fields trying to get it into a fairly small hole. I have enough on my plate without worrying about what collar some chap 300yrds away is wearing! Also, we have a number of members at our club who wear golf shirts that have 'proper' collars however they were probably bought in the 1980's when they were a genuine medium and I'm not sure how often they have seen the inside of a washing machine. If I had to choose which type of shirt I'd rather spend 18 holes with I know which I'd choose......

If you so wished. It has zero effect on me. I do believe in wearing appropriate clothing for each occasion, so if you'd go to pub or walk down your high street in speedo's then you'll feel comfortable on the golf course wont you?

These new shirts are simply a new trend or fashion, they change over time, some come and go, some stick, at the end of the day it's no big deal is it really???

You crack on, if that's what you want to wear. I'd laugh at you mind, but it certainly wouldn't bother me!

Just because it doesn't bother you doesn't make it right on a golf course does it?
 
I'd wear them, I used to own a few back in the day, glad to see them back 😀

Can I sew some tartan on the bottom of my Wranglers also 😜

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.

I don't like them, just like I don't like Ricky fowlers trousers with the elastic at the bottom, and in my opinion they shouldn't be allowed on the golf course but just because they're made by Nike and marketed as golf attire they're acceptable.

Im not bothered in the slightest if people wear them though.
