I say to you that anyone who is barefooted on a golf course is gonna get stung by fire ants and looked down on by real golfers.

It is kinda like showing up to play tennis in an evening gown and using a ping pong paddle.

People are gonna LOOK at you funny.
Golf is a bit different sport. For one, you referee yourself. Etiquette is an important part of the game. No shoes is a definite no no and I'm disappointed that the Ambassador/Starter didn't send him for a pair before he could hit his first ball on our course.

We are really very liberal allowing denim on our courses. The dog doesn't even deserve a comment. Fore!
