How in the world is a less stuffy, more approachable change in apparel a cultural and societal issue?!
I also assume you are against states rights too, yeah?
I guess I don't see how pants are different than pants from years ago. Dress pants are dress pants. How does the time period change that? Materials are different but they are still wearing pants. They aren't showing their hairy disgusting legs in either era.
Golf had always been set to a higher professional standard than other sports.
It used to be that the concept of"appropriate dress for the occasion and, or circumstances" was understood, respected, even appreciated.
But in recent years it seems "all casual...all the time" is what people want and, or demand. This is a shame.
I understand the guy who wants to be able to wear his shorts, t-shirt and ball cap to his office, to the golf course, to Church, to an expensive restaurant etc... feels entitled to do so, but that doesn't mean I have to agree.

Do you have avatars turned off in your settings? Seriously, how is that even related to people not wanting to look at some guys hairy legs and would rather look at professional dress attire?

Completely agree. Its people not having respect for their location or activity they are participating in.
You are against allowing tournaments making a decision on what they believe is best for them and what they want. Seems like a parallel line of logic to me.
While your example is purposeful taking things to the extreme, I’ll address it - if the office permits the casual dress, it is appropriate and the employer sets that. I know of top law firms that require suits everyday and top law firms that are completely casual. This applies to many industries.
If the expensive restaurant permits it, it is appropriate and they set that. I enjoy plenty of jacket-only places but many other expensive places don’t care.
The common thread? If the powers that be permit something, it is therefore appropriate. you can certainly overdress to your hearts content but you can’t dictate to others when it is permitted by the governing entity.
Thankfully, when you make the tour you can take the jacket and tie with you. That doesn’t mean that Justin Thomas couldn’t wear shorts if the PGA says he can.
Go ahead - tell me I’m wrong.

I'll be wearing shorts at the THP Championship so you all can get a good gander at my thick muscular calves

It's unprofessional and looks bad. The same thing applies to professional musicians. Are there really any professionals left in America?
Practice or not, shorts is an unprofessional look for a Tour player (or a caddie).
Traditionally, men were not permitted to wear shorts on a golf course, and some private clubs still maintain that policy. For example,here in Northern California men are forbidden to wear shorts at San Francisco GC as well as Cypress Point GC. It's a good rule.
Professional here, at a Fortune 100 company, responsible for a system thru which several billion $ flows thru each year.
I wore shorts, flip flops and a golf shirt to work today.
So did my boss, and many of the 500+ professionals we employ.
We measure their work product, not their attire. As good professional leaders should.
Anyone can micromanage a dress code. That’s easy.
I say let them wear shorts
Would you rather see Lefty in shorts, Ricky in his joggers, or John Daly in his loudmouth trousers?
What is your position regarding the LPGA’s policy on shorts?
