So, if the dog picked the ball up and dropped it in the hole, would that be a hole in one?

Some things are just not classy in some places. It is kinda like knowing what fork to use.

Some of us are golf snobs. And proud of it.

I will until my dying day look down my nose at anyone bare footed on a golf course.

I would still save them from alligators if I had to.

Please...this is Americas Friendliest Home Town .....no snobs allowed.

This is America's most golfy home town too.

Collared shirt. Golf shoes. Bag with head covers of animals including dogs, but no real dogs.

I say to you that anyone who is barefooted on a golf course is gonna get stung by fire ants and looked down on by real golfers.

It is kinda like showing up to play tennis in an evening gown and using a ping pong paddle.

People are gonna LOOK at you funny.

Right now the message from corporate offices is get more out of what you have. I think it was a stroke genius making the golf course dual purpose. Golf course - dog park. If that pans out maybe they can add things like gardening, camp ground, 4 wheeler track or maybe a petting zoo

Golf is a bit different sport. For one, you referee yourself. Etiquette is an important part of the game. No shoes is a definite no no and I'm disappointed that the Ambassador/Starter didn't send him for a pair before he could hit his first ball on our course.

We are really very liberal allowing denim on our courses. The dog doesn't even deserve a comment. Fore!

For as long as I can remember, when you say bare foot golf, one name comes to MY mind. Would have been my great privilege to watch him play without shoes.

Never mind...I thought the thread was "Talking Dog on Golf Course"

IMO a talking dog should be allowed wherever it wants as long as it is respectful...

I would hope that golf management has a discussion regarding dogs and dog walking on the golf courses. And walkers on the courses who are not playing golf and not accompanying a group of players. Too many " what ifs" with respect to liability should an injury occur. Should management decide on and enforce a "no walkers, no animals" policy (which they might already have), the starters/ambassadors should have total authority to enforce it.
In my opinion shoes should be required period! I bet Barefoot even wears shoes at the appropriate times.

Since the guy also had bare feet, I am wondering if he has some type of medical condition that causes him to do odd things. There was once a guy in our section that had blood sugar issues that did some odd things that he normally would not have done.

Yes, I do wear shoes on the golf course - I value my toes.
As far as dogs go, without question the rules should be respected!
And for those people who don't care about rules, your dog could be attacked by a gator or coyote,
think about that!

Walking barefoot on golf courses or yards??????

Hookworm and roundworm

These are intestinal parasites routinely found in dogs and cats, particularly kittens and puppies. The worms’ eggs or larvae are passed from pets through stool. You can pick them up through your skin from walking barefoot or playing outside. A young child might also accidentally eat the worm eggs.

Hookworm infection can cause painful and itchy skin infections or abdominal symptoms. Roundworm infections may cause no symptoms but can cause nerve or eye damage in some people.

Reduce the risk of roundworms and hookworms:

Don't walk barefoot or garden in areas with bare hands……

What a ridiculous thing to do. It was upsetting enough to find people walking their dogs on the course so they could skirt the pick ups of droppings. And it is upsetting enough to find the number of people playing golf here that have no concept of pace of play. but to find a guy that has no concept of the pace of play and is probably going to skirt a pick up that more than a person should have to endure
