Would you join a club that did not have a dress code?

The only reason to remove a hat indoors is tradition.

Does wearing one bother me, not really. Do I like abit of tradition in a golf club, yes.

Just chatting with my son, who is into his fashion.
He is nearly always wearing a hat of some description.
He says it’s part of his outfit and will buy clothes to go with a certain hat.
He did say if anyone asked him to take it off indoors he would do just not to cause offence but think the person was a bit of a knob.
I did say at golf clubs most people take their hat off indoors and also to shake hands, he just laughed and said no wonder golf clubs are full of old gits constantly moaning, he asked if they know woman have got the vote now.

Would have to ask why does anyone need to wear a hat inside? It’s not sunny and raining inside

And for me it’s just good manners to take your hat off inside

I am of the age that I am of this belief and I will always take my hat off however I will counter your argument that you gave for not wearing a hat inside, why wear shoes. It may have a carpet, it’s not raining or muddy. But again I would never consider to take my shoes off.

It’s very rare I don’t wear a hat when I’m outdoors. I’ve got a big collection of hats so much so I have a proper hat hanger in one of our wardrobes that makes them individually accessible depending on what I want to wear. Yet the moment I walk through the door of someone’s house, a golf club, restaurant etc it comes off my head. Was always brought by my dad you don’t wear one inside as a matter of respect, is that actually a reality in truth I don’t know but it’s alway stuck with me.

I also take off my hat to shake the hands of playing partners at the start and end of a round. But it doesn’t bother me if they reciprocate that behaviour or not. If I walked into a clubhouse and people were still wearing hats I couldn’t care less, we’re all individual and entitled to choose imo how we dress. If that offends others out of etiquette or politeness then id say the person that’s taking offence is the one with the issue for being so precious not the hat wearer.

Give your address and I’ll drop him off

I was in Portugal (Alvor) last week. There is a beautiful wee church right next to a square in the town. We were sitting having lunch.
I was surprised and disappointed to see some other tourists going into the church and not taking their caps off.
Sorry if I appear to be an old git to some.

But the Pope keeps his bonnet on in church.

This is rabbit hole territory for me, been down this one before . In answer to the recent question, wearing a hat indoors doesn't bother me one bit. I don't tend to do it but absolutely could not care less if someone does. As others have said, it's fashion. Like so many other things, not necessary but people like to wear them

Heck I frequently shake hands on the 18th with my hat on and I've yet to play with someone who takes the hump about it. If they do, that's their problem.

Far more important things in life to worry about than hat wearing indoors.

Just like all these dress code issues, a lot is about personal preference and opinion.
When people where clothing I don’t care for, either indoors or outdoors, I reserve the right to personally judge them but would I prevent them from playing or staying in the bar? No, of course not. I just think what a tw*t when I see someone for example wearing knee length dark socks with shorts or ‘look at me’ trousers- but I wouldn’t dream of denying them access to facilities based on my own predilections.

Although I think we can dress how we want if we go to someoe elses personal area be it club, house , place of worship or whatever I think it is good manners to respect their dress code.

I’m a little confused by you quoting my response. I’ve not said anywhere we shouldn’t respect others houses, dress codes or that it’s not good manners.

I even said I take my hat off soon as I enter somewhere as a sign of respect as it’s what I was taught.. Do I care if some else doesn’t though, absolutely not!!

I guess I care to the point that if the hat wearer is wearing it in the knowledge that their host does not like it I would judge them on their manners.

 

[Slab]

Bar, take it off, leave it on
Pub take it off if eating, your choice if not eating
Restaurant, off every time

Fair enough guess that’s where we’re different. I’d rather judge someone on how they treat me and others as a person when spoken to and through actions toward people. Genuinely could not give a monkeys if they happened to wear a hat in the bar even if the dress code said otherwise. More important things in the world to worry about than someone wearing a baseball cap indoors.

Plus I don’t think anyone is ignorant enough that if politely asked by their host would they mind removing the hat indoors that they would go out of their way purposely be ignorant and ignore a polite request.

That’s the big thing for me,it’s really a none issue in life.
If this upsets anyone I reckon it’s them that need to have a word with themselves.
