Collar Type Shirt For Golfing
I was informed today men need to wear a collar type shirt to golf on all executive course. My friend wife was wearing a non collared blouse and was allowed to play with no problem.
I don't have a problem wearing a collar type shirt but is the person who informed me is a stickler for the rules? Did anyone have a problem wearing a non collared shirt? They supplied me with one and was told to have it washed and returned but I was still wondering if this is true! This curious mind wants to know!!!

Also near every starter shack is a bulletin board with a copy of the dress code posted. |

You even need a collared shirt to hit balls on the driving ranges at the country clubs.

It's pretty SOP for every decent golf course in America. Problems arise when manufacturers start making non collared shirts especially for golf. It gets very difficult for the people who have to enforce the rule.
Most people won't have a problem with a nice shirt that doesn't have a collar. The problem is when people start wearing dirty tee ****s with Metallica printed across the front. It's unfair to leave the employees with the decision of what's OK and what's not. And it's not right from two perspectives. Number one, it puts the employee in a position to get arguments from people. Number two, it gives employees who are power crazed too much power. That's why it's best to just have a cut and dry rule. When I was in that position, I would allow someone who was new to get away with it once. If a member complained, I would explain that the person was new and didn't know the rule. The next time he must be wearing proper attire but everyone got one pass unless they were someone that had been there many times before and knew the rule.

Collar type shirt, maybe
At Truman/Roosevelt the other day, I saw a guy go off wearing a tee shirt. I shook my head in the direction of the starter. He just shrugged.
Is the dress code seasonal? I know jeans/denmin are okay in the winter, so why should the shirt style make a difference? |

It happened to me also, I didn't know the dress code so I went home and put on a collared shirt no big deal. The next time I knew better!

Like Doc said, pretty standard requirement on most golf courses.

I understand the collared shirt on the golf course but what a rediculous rule for the driving range. Give me a break.

The rules don't say anything about any rules being seasonal.

For men, shirts with collars are required all year long. The starter shacks will even provide one if you forget. Life is good in The Villages.
