Mother-Of-Pearl
 
I can't begin to get the logic of the 2 inch straps vs: the thinner; 1 inch variety. :police:
I suppose if the range is attached to a golf course, I can more readily "GET" the notion of 2 inches. If you kneel on the floor, what will the skirt length be?
More importantly, how'd they hit 'em?
One thing we know for sure and that is "FUN IS THE BEST THING TO HAVE".
Convince them all to return and keep coming back. My mom left this realm recently and I can say that there are some of us who failed to make time for her and the guilt is palpable. Grams needs the visit and, moreover, she DESERVES the visit.
FORE!!!!

I agree that on the golf course you should wear proper clothing. If the driving range is at the country club this would be included too. I don't consider the range that is talked about here to be on the country club. That said the owner of any business can dictate what is to be at their establishment. What interests me are the people answering here that are all for following the rules at the driving range, are any of them the ones that complain about the police in The Villages that are inforcing the rules. Are they the ones that say the police should be out catching criminals and leave us alone even if we are not following THE RULES. Just asking.

The Developer owns the driving ranges and country club champ courses in TV. If you're unhappy with the dress code rules at either, suggest you and others of a similar mind make note of it on the annual survey he sends out each April.

If enough people take issue with it, perhaps he will reconsider.

Look at the bright side. We can still wear shorts. What's the big deal about wearing a collared shirt.

If you don't have a dress code you get some of the things you see at municipal courses, muscle shirts and sports bras and sometimes no shirts at all. Ain't a purty sight.

Probably not - but who really cares??? I'm just grateful to have made it to this point in my life. When I see something that "ain't a purty sight: it gives my husband (aka best friend) something to chuckle about. I try to live by the
philosophy "don't sweat the small stuff".

When this was first posted it had nothing to do with dress codes.The person mention 2 inch straps over the shoulders.Nothing about collored shirts,cutoffs shorts, or tank tops.Nothing about not dressing properly for the golf course. I joked about the driving range workers,who job was to make sure shoulder straps are 2 inch wide.Its not like the Nuns in the old days saying,"young lady your dress is to short,go home and change".Then the anger of these people came out,If you do not like it go home, Rules are what society is about and etc.To me this was amazing.One guy read me the riot act,and yet if you looked at his profile picture,he was dressed like you would see in the old three stooges shows. I stilll agree with the orginal poster,that its a driving range.If they where not doing well at the driving range I bet they would change this rule. Just my thoughts......

Paul and or Jean. The title is ...rules at the driving range. There are rules about proper attire on the course. I do believe it is all relevant.

We were talking about golf. Golf is not a matter of life and death, it is much more important than that. ;)

And I betcha that most of the folks who moved here for the golf, and that would be a lot would understand that sign that has always hung above our bar. Next to the one that says Missing. Golfer Husband and dog. Reward for dog.

Trying to be funny here. Golf has it's own persona and most of us are golfers and understand it.
