Default Rules at Driving Range

Anticipating my family's arrival from Pa,I went over to the driving range across 466A where you try to hit the greens placed in the lake.I had on a t-shirt,sandals and jean shorts.I was not there to hit golf balls myself.The attendant gave me the price,explained about the passes and told me rather sternly proper golf attire was required.He said no cut-offs,frayed shorts and you needed a collared shirt.I thought this was rather strict to just hit golf balls but rules are rules and I said fine.I did see some women wearing tank tops and sleeveless blouses halls hitting golf balls but thought no big deal.Today my son-in-law and grandson[properly attired] went to hit balls accompanied by my daughter.The attendant said to my daughter "I hope you're not here to hit because the straps on your sundress have to be at least two inches wide and your straps are too thin".Talk about stupid! to hit golf balls in Florida you women have to have wide straps on your top attire.The strap police are out at the driving range.Am I wrong to think that this is stupid? I mean think about it.Was he going to measure the next woman's straps if they looked borderline narrow.Maybe it's me and rules are rules but to me this policy at least about the width of women's straps is totally absurd.And please don't tell me that this is in effect to prevent bikini like attire.This outfit she had on would be acceptable anywhere.
