At my course changing your shoes in the car park is not an issue. It's the people changing their shirts and trousers that amazes me. Clubhouse is less than a short par 3 away.

I'm serious thinking how changing shoes in the car park actually does anything detrimental to the club?

People who bang their shoes clean in the car park and do the same with their trolley wheels should be shot at dawn. Walk to the edge of the course or nearest such spot and do it there. It's bloody laziness and total lack of etiquette. We've told our members this many times and still they do it. Ignorant peasants.

I recall a housing area in Edinburgh where I was told that residents couldn't park any commercial vehicles on the streets
edit: I was also told that the reason for not changing shoes in the club car park goes back to metal spikes being the norm for everyone and over time they cut up the tarmac
could both be old wives tales of course (although I'm not sure if I can say 'old wives tales' anymore! is that non-pc?)

100% this, some of us played at old small clubs were there isn't enough lockers and changing room aint that big.Car park for me.
If there's a sign requesting you not to, I'll change shoes in my car.
I also smoke, use a huge ball marker, and have a remote electric trolley. It's a wonder anyone will play with me.
I also don't buy the argument that it's to get people in the bar.
If I am forced to change in the locker rooms, when I finish the round....
Go to car to put clubs away (if I don't want to leave them unattended while I change)
Go to locker room to change shoes
Go to car to put shoes away (if I don't want them with me in the bar)
Go to bar
That is far less likely to happen than...
Go to car. Put clubs away and change shoes
Go to bar

Its a shame when such polls dont have the full set of options - I have used all 3 options in the last week.
So, my response would be "it depends"...

Yep, mine too.
Most of the time, I change my shoes in the car as I drive to the course from work.
Not even an option.
if i'm at my home club it will be in the locker room. we have shoe cubbies and keep a couple of pairs there and will usually put my valuables in my locker as well, so always go in the locker room.
If i'm at Tain, of late i have worn my spike-less shoes, so have had them on in the car anyway.
