Jeans, are allowed, and they have been allowed for at least the 3 1/2 years I have been here. BUT the jeans must not be torn, have holes etc., or maybe someone was in error, but jeans are allowed, check the dress codes.

I know they are allowed.....but there were times when they weren't, whether by code or individual ambassador. I think dumbing down the dress codes is a shame, and so glad the private CC's haven't followed that trend. In a recent interview, Gary Player said that one of the reasons he enjoyed coming to the US to play was that Americans respected each other and one of the ways they showed that was in how they dressed. The other good news was, if you saw the Drive, Chip and Putt competition the kids were dressed, showed the proper manners and respect for the game and were evidently taught the culture of the game. It's going away, but for the most part, the players here in TV continue to respect the game and dress appropriately. Lets hope they stay in the majority and the denim is a small part.

A six year old son?

Yes we I have been visiting the villages for the last 15 years, first visited when I was 30 with my girlfriends mum and dad who had friends here , they have owned a home for the last 9 years. The girlfriend is now my wife of 13 years and both our kids have visited once or twice a year since they were born.
Not sure if I like this place :icon_wink::icon_wink:

I thought you were a villager. Hope you continue visiting and that you change your mind about liking this place.

Nope, way to young at the moment but probably one day , for now we will just keep visiting, we have been here for the whole of this month, and will leave the in laws here for a while longer , but being from the uk the longest we can stay is 6 months of any year

Being an Ambassador ,I will tell you that we do have the authority to move players to the next hole or play in from the 150 yard marker. Any Ambassador that doesn't do that is not doing what we were trained to do.

I agree. Nice to see people dressed properly.

Does anyone else remember the golf fashion of the sixties and seventies? They shouldn't have just kept us off the course, they should have had us arrested. Remember the plaids, paisleys and stripes.

Gary Player always wore black. In retrospect he always looked classy but at the time Jack and Arnie were wearing some pretty bold colors and patterns.
In 65 my dad just started playing and he invited me to go with him, public courses of course. I lived in Secaucus, NJ. The druggist, MR. Marra at Marra's Drugstore was selling his right handed McGregor starter set for $15. I was left handed but I figured it wouldn't matter. They all matched. My dad said I could wear my school pants and borrow one of his shirts. He was size medium and I was a small so that wouldn't do for me. I had my own money from delivering papers so I took the bus to Two Guys [a sort of Walmart at the time] and I bought these white pants with splattered brown spots all over them and a matching dark brown shirt so I wouldn't look ridiculous [in my own mind] on the course.

good times

Whether we like it or not dress codes anywhere are a must because someone is sure to push the envelope. As a manager it upset me that I had to tell an adult how to dress (ie) how to follow the dress code. It made me wonder about the quality of his/her work product.

At many golf courses around the country golfers are not even allowed to wear cargo shorts .

So imagine my surprise when I found that while collared shirts were required golfers could wear denim pants. Even more to my surprise was golfers who should up with in sweat pants.

In a previous thread an ambassador explained that they were not allowed to........

I do not know who made those rules or why but you can be sure that many people especially on executive courses are taking advantage of that well known fact. the results are predictable and as demand for golf increases it is going to place more strains on us all.

One of the reason I take pride in golf as a sport has to do with the neatness and pride golfers display in their apparel. And also well place golf etiquette
Have you noticed that doesn't exist on executive courses. Perhaps you can have free golf for the rest of your life has something to do with it. But then perhaps your definition of free golf for the rest of your life doesn't mean the same to me as to you?
