But no comments on wearing jeans. TV makes a big deal on shirts but person can wear jeans. Go figure.

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.

Thanks for the definition of a henley. Saved me some keystrokes.

Agreed. Nothing cheapens golf attire more than a pair of jeans. Looks like a bunch of farmers out there.

The collar on that Henley is no greater than 3/4 of an inch. I would guess anything that buttons would be the rule of thumb. For sure the shirt is of quality and likely costs more than some raggedy Polos I’ve seen throughout the years.

Be happy they remembered to put on pants!

Whatever you read in the rules, or hear from others, just keep in the back of your mind that there is no uniformity from golf course to golf course... it's just become so large here now that the training of employees is not at all uniform, and you might be told at one place something is "okay" and not at others. Have to just let it roll off and not get frustrated. Yesterday told 3 different stories about who actually had a right to a room in a rec center by 3 employees in the same center... can't let it effect your day or happiness.

I will never understand how some people actually notice and care about what others wear. Life is just to short for this level of irrelevance.

Any clothing that makes you look like a dork is allowed Hip, cool and trendy are not.

It's not like you're going to a wedding. I don't care at all what people wear.

Wrong. It’s respect for the sport and the people you play with. If you want to wear a bathing suit, for example, don’t come to the golf course.

That’s a reasonable question in my opinion. I love and respect the game of golf, but never got the whole dress code thing. To me, respecting the game of golf is about respecting both the golf course and fellow golfers. Things that are important include fixing ball marks, filling in divots, raking bunkers, keeping quiet and still when others are hitting, helping other golfers track and find their ball, not walking in putting lines, pulling and replacing the flag, picking up other golfers wedges when walking off the greens, and keeping up a reasonable pace of play. I would much prefer to play with a golfer wearing jeans and a t shirt who does the above, than a lazy disrespectful slob dressed in pressed slacks wearing an overpriced tucked in collared shirt. But hey, maybe that’s just me?

Spot on!

Glad I read through a few of these so I could find out what a henley is.

Awful lot of drama over a game that is supposed to be played for relaxation and enjoyment.
