I support wearing of collared shirts and obeying the course rules.

Not everybody reads the online rag. As far as that guy crying because he has to wear a collared shirt on the executive courses... Just another loser that moved here from up North. He should have done his homework before moving here. Time will tell if he could get a lawyer willing to take on TV. I'm pretty sure case law is not on his side. I have a few sleeveless shirts I wear at the pickleball courts when it gets real hot, but have not seen any restrictions other than you have to wear a shirt at the courts.

Golf complaints are even better than dog poop posts

Keefelane66 02-17-2023 09:47 AM

Since Denim attire is allowed does that include jeans?

No shorts or shoes? Ew!

in the new Woke world, men and women and binary ones may choose to wear collared shirts, t-shirts, or no shirts.

In their house… lol… of it’s ok with the wife… not to talk about the grand kids…ewwww, grandpa!

Personally, what is wrong with wearing sport appropriate clothing? Tennis attire to play tennis, bathing suit to go swimming etc

Papa_lecki 02-17-2023 10:27 AM

The newspaper’s business model is to write controversially stuff, so others will write letters to the editor to drive traffic.

I personally think golf shirts should be tucked in.

Two Bills 02-17-2023 10:48 AM

If the 'Family' thinks it will sell more houses, it will be!
It was only because one of them wanted to wear denim, that the no denim rule was changed.
I don't know where it all will end.
Even my local UK course is talking about letting ladies play! ;)

Bingo!

My thought is that this guy must live a pretty good life, if this is all he can find to b!tch about.

He explained it as a health issue. I don't necessarily buy that argument but it was an argument.

What is the rationale behind the dress code? Safety? Competitive advantage? Or just to provide a reason to look down on someone and bitch about their attire?

Velvet 02-17-2023 11:02 AM

The dress code represents a certain respect for the sport. They do it even in college, or high school. Sometimes grade school. People who feel “looked down upon” because they don’t want to dress for the sport, in my opinion, are just looking for a reason to play the victim.

Michael G. 02-17-2023 11:16 AM

I have a denim tue tue with a color matching jock strap, would that be appropriate for you ladies?

Below picture of dress code taken at Palmer clubhouse. This is posted at all Championship clubhouses (except Hacienda Hills) and most executive starter shacks. Note, t shirts are not acceptable, but shirts without collars are acceptable as long as they are button down.

It’s like a business saying “no shirt no service”. Live with it!

Couldn’t find it in denim;

Tvflguy 02-17-2023 11:29 AM

A couple years back we played exec golf with another couple. At the Starter, we checked in and she looked at the other guy and said “you’re not appropriately dressed!”

He’s a quiet type of guy and I said What, why???

She said his shirt had no collar. I replied it’s a Henley. She was adamant. I’ll let him play this time but be warned!

I asked her to come out to look at the men’s guidelines pictures on the notice right at the shack window. She sad no. But I was bound to educate her. She finally came out, saw the picture and went back in saying nothing.

She never announced for us to go to the line, we did on our own. Hopefully she learned…

He didn't say he felt looked down upon, those were my words to describe some of the responses - like this one.

Michael G. 02-17-2023 11:34 AM

Sorry, I'm a duffer, not a golfer.
I play military golf, to the right, then to the left.

I still feel like a fang swinging away, sweating my @ss off in a pretty pretty collared shirt. barf

No argument that those are the rules, my question was the rationale for the rules. My insinuation was that the rules had much less to do with the game than with the feelings of those who would be offended that someone dare to suggest a change to the rules.

collie1228 02-17-2023 11:48 AM

They allow button front tee shirts (Henley?) but not regular tee shirts. Don't see much difference.

raynan 02-17-2023 11:51 AM

I support collared shirts.

GpaVader 02-17-2023 11:59 AM

How does Tiger get away with it on Tour???

I think the other thing they are concerned about is the slippery slope of OK we let T-Shirts on then you get graphic t-shirts and someone will be offended. Other some Hawaiian Shirts can be offensive or John Daily attire....

Get away with what?

This is NOT a t-shirt...

Well, the flat-earthers have an "argument" too. The dress code is what it is. But it is pretty apparent what it isn't. I have yet to see a cogent argument that supports the "health threat" hypothesis.

My gut reaction to this? Some guy who resents authority in any form and this is way of "getting even" with the rule enforcers. Something you might see in junior high. But in a rational adult? Well...

Because it has a Nike swoosh, a bit more material around the neck, a price tag over $50, or a champion golfer inside?

But to the point of this thread, this looks like it could satisfy the needs of the individual who made the request.

So on a cold morning someone needs to wear a sweatshirt to stay warm…is that against the rules?

Keefelane66 02-17-2023 01:46 PM

Dress for success but it won't help your golf game.

I suppose it might qualify as a mock turtle neck. But it's still a t-shirt, to me....

It looks like a collarless polo shirt.

I also think if Tiger started wearing cut off jeans and a Henley shirt and Crocs on tour, it would become acceptable golf attire - whatever Tiger wears is acceptable. He’s Tiger.

Because it has been known as a "mock turtleneck" forever...

Here's a bunch of them, readily availabel from $11-$20...

short sleeve mock turtleneck - Google Search

And THAT, folks, just about sums it up.

It IS a mock turtleneck. And apparently, to the PGA (and golf courses everywhere), your opinion doesn't count... :p

Not really. I wore them (the long sleeve version) on cold days years before Tiger did it, with zero issues (on a TPC course)...

They even sold them in their pro shop...
