As far as that goes I look at some of the clown outfits on the golf course, and shake my head. John Daly comes to mind. Decorum? I think not.
My friend's husband ran into that a a driving range once. He had an expensive nice looking shirt on with a minimal rolled collar that didn't meet their "specs." They told him to put on a collared shirt. My female friend had an extra shirt in the car that was a size too small for her husband but he put it on to satisfy "the rules". Of course every time he made a golf swing the shirt rode up and showed off his belly. How stupid is that? Globally the sport of golf has been on the decline. Golf courses need to use a little common sense when it comes to a dress code if they want to keep people involved in the game.

There is an urban legend, true or not, about jeans. They were not permitted on the golf course until one day Gary Morse showed up to play in jeans. The starter told him he couldn't play, and in response he told him that as of that moment, jeans are allowed.
As far as golf being in decline, that is simply not true, it is actually gaining participants. The only facet that was ever in decline was private country club membership, due to the cost and the economy.
From Statistica: " In 2022, the number of people participating in golf in the United States reached 25.6 million, representing a slight increase on the previous year. It also represented the highest on-course participation in more than a decade."
Now, if anyone would like to present a source that states overall participation in golf is declining, this is their chance
