You know a tee shirt is not appropriate so there is no reason to state: "it seems to me that a tee shirt with a 3/4 inch collar is acceptable"
LOL. Obviously the rule is defective. But, I see no reason why a man cannot wear a tee shirt on the golf course. And, according the official written rule, you can. If they don't want you to wear a tee shirt, why don't they say it? Turtlenecks, by definition, have wider collars than tee shirts, and most tee shirts have a wider collar than 1/4 inch. So, almost any shirt will comply with The Villages rule. The rule has 3 sentences. How can you proclaim that the verbage in brackets only applies to the second sentence, especially since it makes no sense with respect to turtlenecks? If they published a silly rule, they need to live by it. Why defend it? If Dan Newlin argued this rule in court, he would blow The Villages away.
