I guess I'm out to busy enjoying myself to worry about someone elses wardrobe. Non issue for me.

Im not worrying about it either while playing and probably not even noticing what most folks are wearing unless it stood out like a sore thumb or something. But kind of besides the point of discussion.I guess I'm out to busy enjoying myself to worry about someone elses wardrobe. Non issue for me.
absolutely I understand it deosnt matter to you. The things I questioned of some folks is......its often mentioned that a public muni should be different and i ask them but why does or would a muni golf course some how be different? as though its not acceptable for a muni to ask this of its guests?I'm not sure anyone is saying a course can't have a dress code policy. What I'm saying is it doesn't matter to me whether it does or does not. Even if you don't agree with me, surely you can understand where I'm coming from. No?
The question is: Should golf have a dress code? Some think it should... universally.... on all courses. What you might describe as a "soft" code would likely fall woefully short of what others believe is just right.
There are some who, if made king of the golf world, would not allow this attire at any course.
The slippery slope is one reason why some don't feel it should be universal and why leaving it up to individual courses seems more logical.
In the end, most courses are purchased or built by those looking to make a profit. They may care less about integrity, respect for the game or whatever reasons you might feel a code is necessary, and instead make their decision based on which end of the dress code spectrum will generate the most profit. They might base that off of the community nearest the course as @BeCu_Ping suggested. If that community is rural, you'll likely see some wearing camo and denim. Again, absolutely not allowed at some courses, welcomed by others.
Maybe you're not saying the same dress code should be applied exactly the same to all courses. Instead, maybe you're suggesting all courses should simply have something in place... a minimal code. Is that correct?
I agree with you. I was just trying to walk a fine line and not offend everyone.Why shouldnt a public muni course also have a standard? I feel part of the issue with society in genral nowadays is the fact that standards like unofficial drss codes keep lacking more and more. And in my strong opinion I believe its no coincidence at all that so has respect, common courtesies, and etiquette gone down with it.
My muni courses are not funded by tax dollars and in fact its customers green fees not only supports the golf itself but also brings in excess which then supports other avenues of the municipality.
But regardless whether the muni golf is a money maker or not,...why in the world cant it still have a dress code policy?
Why is there this constant notion in this thread that somehow the general public does not have to nor is capable of a simple standard of a little dress code which does nothing more than suggest that we hold ourselves to a respectable standard of behavior and is also what we can then expect in return from others while we are there.
Why is this somehow the incorrect thing? Why not a a society cant we demand even a small standard without it being viewed as some type of negative discrimination or insult of some sort? Why must everyone fit into everything with zero standards and the way they see fit however they wish? Why can we not ask a small standard of each other to try to help maintain some of whatever is left of respectful good behavior , common courtesies and etiquette?
And please (to all) stop with the specific scenario where one can dress like a slob and be a great and well behaved person while another can dress great and yet be a total jerk. Sorry but that just inst relevant to the large picture.
Just when exactly had it become wrong to hold each other (as a society) accountable for a certain level of respect, etiquette and common courtesies to be displayed towards and with each other? A soft simple easy dress code really does nothing more than asks us to have an awareness of that. Why is this such a bad thing or problem at the public level? Are we that far gone? perhaps we are. and thats pretty sad imo.
Understood.....and as for walking on egg shells when we speak or if we care to place some even just minor demand on society for a greater good and yet have to worry we might offend someone? hence imo part of the issue.I agree with you. I was just trying to walk a fine line and not offend everyone.
Frankly, I care what people wear in certain venues, More at upscale settings, but even on municipal courses. Atmunis I don't mind seeing shirts not tucked in, and even cargo shorts if people choose, but you can still look respectful with that type of clothing. Private clubs, it's nice to see people adhere to a dress code.What do I care what someone else is wearing? I don't. I go to the course to golf, not analyze if someone's shorts fit his legs and ass nicely.
And as far as cut off jeans- I haven't seen them since my dad wore them in 1982.
I’ll bet they’d have let you right through if you’d been wearing joggers and a blade collar shirt!I was behind a slow foursome this morning who wouldn't let me play through. The strange thing is that they were dressed immaculately. I couldn't figure out what was going on until I realized my shirt had become partially untucked meaning I was obviously being the asshat. Once I tucked my shirt back in, watching these guys standing around and taking their sweet time instead of playing ready golf or offering a faster player to play through became much more tolerant.
I never look at other players. Gets in my head and can effect my happiness.I wouldn’t go as far as to say I was offended but this really bothered me.

#freethenippleWhy stop at golf?
And what are the limits?
If that's how you want to present yourself, and the course allows it, go ahead. Although, I can see you never golf at private courses or tournaments, and are out for fun in a few beers. Many better golfers enjoy dressing respectfully and that's why they join private clubs so they don't have to deal with the riff raff.I’m going to play in an untucked tshirt and backwards hat today. Sue me.
Lmao, you know little to nothing about me. I play in tournaments and at super nice private courses, and dress accordingly. You know what they say about making assumptions.If that's how you want to present yourself, and the course allows it, go ahead.

No, I don't know that much about you, but from the basis of the point you made in this particular post , it comes across as a little bit rebellious and entitled.I’m going to play in an untucked tshirt and backwards hat today. Sue me.
Monster!I’m going to play in an untucked tshirt and backwards hat today. Sue me.
Or maybe, just maybe, he was just playing loose and having a little fun.No, I don't know that much about you, but from the basis of the point you made in this particular post , it comes across as a little bit rebellious and entitled.
