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 would hope your son was not so traumatized by being told he needed a collared shirt that he gives up the game.

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?
