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.

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

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...

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.


Agree that abandonment of all standards everywhere is erosion of a culture (ours) and not adding quality to our nation. Remember when "nice" restaurants REQUIRED conservative dress ? Remember back in the 70's (wow, a long time ago) when passengers were not only expected, but required to dress in a "semi" formal manner on cruises ? Remember when there were minimum standards for BOTH students and teachers in public schools ? Suppose I would be looked at as "grumpy", non progressive, old person, but I LIKED having minimum standards everywhere... even those places I just chose to avoid because I didn't want to don the required dress ! I really don't think we are doing our (collective)selves any favors moving in this direction. Having said that I support your opinion, the "up north" part ? Seems "up north" covers a lot of territory. How would one know the person is from "down south" (as we are from, south Florida) ?
My guess, just based on temperature, would be those from our former location in south Florida would be MORE inclined to minimum clothing, and those from "up north", MORE inclined to wear clothing with sleeves, collars, etc. etc. Just on opinion !

Not sure but... over the last 16 or so years, sure have seen plenty of jeans on both championship and executive courses, but, also in case no one has noticed, it's impossible to follow the "rules" here due to the inconsistency ! An employee at one course will tell you one thing, two days later a different employee at the same course will tell you another thing completely. Yes, it's maddening, you just have to try your best NOT to let it spoil your day, your retirement, your own sunny out look on life !

Call me a "crazy old person" but I LIKED the UN-woke world where one knew which restroom to use, the type of dress required for various events/activities, etc. Oh well !

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…

I doubt she learned ANYTHING, such folks most often are not capable of "learning" because it is in DEEP INNER personality flaw, an ego problem, lack of self-esteem, a NEED to have some POWER in their life. Such folks are everywhere. But, thankfully, most businesses have effective employee training programs that at least help eliminate many of those types, but yes, they "slip" thorough in every business and entity. I do think The Villages has an exceptionally high percentage of such employees (the "I AM in charge here" people). Thinking back to when every pool had monitors, what a stark difference in pool to pool, day to day. No way to keep up on what the rules REALLY were. Again I just say, "roll with it", there is really no choice but... it is SO frustrating. It takes a very mature person to just smile and go on with life. Some will explode when constantly faced with the inconsistency.

I personally think golf shirts should be tucked in.

Exactly, carefully designed to drive traffic with sensational headlines, and it works, it is more than successful. Just look at the "click bait" on all portals of the internet... and people will "bite" over and over... humans just can't control emotional "triggers". Same on this site as we can see daily.
