Should T-shirts be allowed on The Villages’ golf courses?

All you ever wanted to know about how to dress for golf in TV

Dress code from Golf the Villages. Not from TOTV opinions.

Yes, it’s allowed in the dress code. You can’t wear a t shirt, but a shirt without a collar is allowed as long as it has a buttoned opening. There is actually a picture of one being shown as acceptable attire posted at many of the courses, both Championship and Executive.

According to that, Henley's are not specifically allowed. "Blade" collars are allowed. At least as I understand them, not all "Henleys" have a Blade collar.

Which is why I posted the links, rather than refer to the myriad of Dress Code publications through the years ... all of which seem to get confusing, once you get beyond the Golf Dress Code of 1970 (other than the "no jeans" thing).

You can have dinner in the Country Club Restaurants wearing your jammies, but you better be dressed right, when you get on the golf course ... & jeans are OK. ������

So you are saying henleys are ok as long as they have a blade collar more than 1 1/4 inches? (Actually asking for a friend.)

Below is a picture taken at a Village’s Championship Pro Shop showing allowable golfing attire. See the picture of the blue shirt on the top right.

I've worn several buttoned Henleys and never had an issue.

rules for what to wear on the golf course are in the same book as raking sand traps, sanding divots and fixing ball marks on the greens......right next to the rules regarding stop signs and speed limits!:1rotfl:

Is the starter going to pull out a measuring tape? :police:

Don't think so. On cold morning swearing a pullover hoodie or quarter zip jacket they never check for a polo.

Better adhere to their code, the Villages promote compliance not individualism. One negative about living here, these people LOVE their rules.

Annual discussion, right on schedule.

This response is wrong...
 

there are some posters at some of the starters shacks that state 1/4" minimum collar and others that state 1 1/4" inch. The latter is correct as per the golf the villages website and the person in charge of such things(as I emailed them).

Most courses won't say anything with a henley(a type of Tee shirt with a few buttons)being worn. Nevertheless don't be surprise when you are required to wear either a "mock turtleneck" or a regular polo shirt.

The person who posted this is ill informed.

Not true, take a look at the picture in post #7.
