Especially with the magnetic ball marker clip on the brim. Make sure you have a cool one.

I hate to see that. So impolite.

I wear a cap in the CC bars after golf because my hair gets badly matted from sweating, but never when I go out to eat.

I wear collared shirts and jeans as a minimum when I go to the nicer restaurants with tablecloths. Come on guys. Wear your big boy pants. If you’re just going from the car to the restaurant and back, the pants won’t make you hot. If you drive in a cart, then that’s different.

But, I also understand that big men are very inefficient at shedding heat, so I can see why they wear shorts.

Pickelball courts require white sole sneakers. Have never seen shoe police but Villagers will lock you up.

The World Equestrian Center in Ocala is a must to dress up! Great dining and hotel....expensive, but a must to do once

Totally agree. I dislike seeing people wearing hats inside restaurants (other than a fast food establishment). Also appreciated the “old days” when collared shirts were required in country club restaurants. Added a touch of class. Oh well. Just another confirmation that I am old 😉

The Villages doesn't actually have "country clubs". They are just restaurants. The Developer should change the name to represent reality.

Incorrect. All golf courses allow jeans.

After living here about a year developed skin cancer that was successfully treated with mohs surgery and a year ago turned out another problem area was not cancer.

As a result I never leave my house without a cap. Not going to be out in the sun from car to restaurant without covering my head. As a result wear I go my cap goes.

Sorry if that disturbs anyone but not going to change this. Do not think your food will taste any different with me wearing a cap.

How To Dress
The following dress code is for all championship and executive golf courses, The Villages Golf Academy, driving ranges, warm-up nets and putting greens.
The acceptable golf attire includes, but is not limited to, the below:

Shoes must be worn at all times when on the golf courses. Tennis or golf shoes with soft spikes, or shoes with no more than a 1-inch heel, are mandatory.
Shorts or skirts must cover the majority of the thigh and may not be cut-off or have holes.
Denim pants are allowed.
No overall, tennis skirts, cut-offs, biking shorts, bathing suits or athletic exercise apparel.
Dress Code for Women
Fashion golf tops may be without a collar but should not expose the stomach and must have straps at least 2-inches wide.

Dress Code for Men
Shirts shall have a collar and sleeves. Turtle-necks or mock turtle-necks are acceptable. (Min. 1 1/4 inch collars.)

Thanks! I should have thought of that instead of trying to butcher the link.

Also, very funny comment on the spelling of collared shirts.

Make sure your husband removes his hat inside the restaurant unless he’s an illiterate redneck. Outside is ok though.
