It's pretty SOP for every decent golf course in America. Problems arise when manufacturers start making non collared shirts especially for golf. It gets very difficult for the people who have to enforce the rule.
Most people won't have a problem with a nice shirt that doesn't have a collar. The problem is when people start wearing dirty tee ****s with Metallica printed across the front. It's unfair to leave the employees with the decision of what's OK and what's not. And it's not right from two perspectives. Number one, it puts the employee in a position to get arguments from people. Number two, it gives employees who are power crazed too much power. That's why it's best to just have a cut and dry rule.
When I was in that position, I would allow someone who was new to get away with it once. If a member complained, I would explain that the person was new and didn't know the rule. The next time he must be wearing proper attire but everyone got one pass unless they were someone that had been there many times before and knew the rule.
