In my opinion, how one dresses is only one very small way of showing respect for the game. Respecting the game includes many things, including but not limited to: Showing up on time for a t time, not moving when fellow golfers are hitting, playing ready golf, not driving one’s cart near greens, t boxes, sand traps, or wet areas, filling divots, fixing ball marks on greens, raking sand traps, not walking on fellow golfers putting lines, removing and replacing the flagstick for fellow golfers, picking up clubs on the green for fellow golfers, always being ready to hit your next shot, clearing a green quickly when done with the hole, following the rules of golf, and most importantly, playing fast. It also never hurts if you can tell a few funny jokes during the round : ) and don’t go postal after hitting a bad shot.
I would much rather golf with people dressed like bums who respect the game by their actions on the course than play with people more concerned with fashion than being a respectful golfer. And in this modern world of equality, what’s up with the unequal relaxed dress code for women? On a hot and humid 100 degree day I wouldn’t mind playing with a lightweight collarless and sleeveless shirt like many women do!
