What's your worst experience as a guest?

[richart]

Well I guess if you are being told by three members that you can't wear some shoes based on the colour then the colour of the shoes would be an important part of the story when reliving it

Pro at my club has some Pompey golf shoes. Probably wouldn't get on a course in Southampton.

New Zealand is a very 'traditional' club, but I would love to see the rule that banned golf shoes on taste.

Never said it was a rule, more the arrogant and condescending tone of these members saying the shoes were inappropriate. They were white with a pink side panel and lime green toe. Not a winner in the fashion stakes I'm sure but a pair of functional shoes.

Maybe they were correct in hindsight. Sounds like you borrowed them from coco the clown.

As I said they weren't going to win any fashion prizes but I have some far more garish pairs I've worn there and other places since without issue. Maybe these members were put off by the pink in them and didn't want "that sort of boy" playing their course

You would be fine at New Zealand. Just white, pink and green that are frowned on there.:thup:

Definitely think it was the pink. They went to shoe heaven a few years back but would I have got a game at Blackmoor in them.

Possibly worried that the flower in his lapel was going to squirt water over the bar staff, and the wheels fall off his golf trolley

Phew that's a relief thought they would be banished

I think the jury is out on that one.

High standards at Blackmoor :thup:

Bit dark early Monday morning ?

I have to agree with you. I've been victim of the fashion gestapo and even been told I couldn't wear my FJ myjoys as the colours were too "bizarre". Went back to the pro shop, asked for a full refund of my nearly three figure green fee and left. Won't be back....

...
Fortunately have been back several times since ...

K?

 

[pokerjoke]

K?

Quality spot.
Another massive hole being dug.

They actually told you it was forbidden to play there in garish shoes?

I found Kilkenny one of the most unwelcoming of places I have been to in the South - took an Austrailian buddy of mine on a short tour before he flew home for good. We were living in Dublin so had a few days driving about Waterford, Wexford, Tipperary and Kilkenny.

Was amazed at how unfriendly it was in Kilkenny, hated the place. Everyone you spoke to Scowled at you.

Hasnt Changed mate , nor is it likely to ..

Being told by the Starter at Muirfield that my putter cover was not "appreciated". It was an MD Norman Drew, i.e it was white leather with green embroidered shamrocks. Unfortunately no-one else witnessed the comment, and I kept it to myself till now to prevent any embarrassment to my friend who had bought the 4-ball at an auction and was kind enough to invite me. Outwith the caveman opinion of one person, it was a bucket list day.

Erin go brah!
