Not only stretchy cotton, but many are made with the new water wicking material with different colors and designs. These shirts are very expensive. Should these shirts be considered Tee Shirts?

As mentioned previously please try www.golfthevillages.com; click on the header "golfing in the villages"; next "good golf guide"; then "how to dress". It even comes complete with pictures.

All championship courses have copies of this guide which has considerable info regarding etiquette, dress, cart use, etc. Hope this helps.......

I feel your pain with regards to inconsistent interpretation of the dress code rules. Seems to me a "TEE" shirt would be appropiate on the golf course. By the way what is the difference between a mock turtle and a tee shirt?

I agree the 'tee' debate can be tough. But as far as the men goes - just wear a collar. It really is that simple. I've had disagreements with starters (not at TV) about the Tiger woods type mock collar and you know what - it's just not worth it. I always keep a collared shirt and golf pants in my car at ALL times. I just consider it part of my golf preparedness. You never know who will call with an open tee time!

maybe its me but i do see a difference in the starters attitude - not all of the starters ( i don't know about the exec courses) but some have a really superiority attitude - maybe its the longer hours in the summer - they should remember they are "starter" and not in "charge of all fazes of operation"

I would suggest that you make a copy of the rules (that show no collar is necessary, etc.) and keep it in your golf cart. When an a.....hole addresses it with you, show him/her the rules. I feel your pain, especially in this hot, Florida weather. Don't let one jerk make you mad...consider the source. Happy golfing !

Had the rule book in our hands clearly states collared shirts not necessary but no "t shirts"...The problem is what defines a T shirt..Thanks everyone for your kindness and encouragement and again I have no problem with rules as long as they apply to everyone..everytime...No exceptions for "special people".
I wonder what happens when it gets cool and we need to layer our clothes...do I wear my collared shirt over my jacket or sweater..

I wear a sweat shirt over my collared shirt in the winter and occasionally I am asked to show them the collared shirt. I refuse to put the collar outside the sweat shirt and look like a preppy.

My solution is to read the info, do the best you can to comply and ignore those who bend/ignore the same because they feel they are "special". Why let others control your life/mood? Relax, enjoy and let those few "special" people spend their time looking over their shoulder for the "rules police".

My neighbor's wife doesn't golf but like's to ride along. She must also wear a collared shirt.

[zcaveman]

If I think my wife's shirt is "iffy", we bring a collared shirt for her to change into.

I filled a foresome today at Glenview. Both of the ladies had on sleeveless blouses that looked exactly like mens sleeveless athletic tees. I could never dresswear my athletic t-shirts.

First let me say that I should be living FT in TV in Oct. and plan to play golf. This topic will be intersting for me ! I have mostly moisture wicking shirts , plain colors that I wear all year. Cotton T-shirts are hotter than hell and in 60 degrees or warmer, I wear these and even all winter when inside up here in New England. I will be drenched in sweat and I will look like I just stepped out out of a shower in no time if I cannot wear these moisture wicking collarless shirts. Great shirts from LL Bean.

time will tell! :dontknow:
