"Spiffy golf attire" is a throwback to the 1950's, when Americans that played golf, wanted to show the world that they were "special & cool". 75 years later, the "specified" outfits, are neither spiffy nor cool and playing golf doesn't make you special. If you complain about what someone else is wearing at a PUBLIC golf course, you're the problem and you're definitely UNCOOL. |

Well, golf is from Scotland several hundreds years before it was imported to this continent. And right from the beginning:
“Early Scottish golfers wore formal apparel like jackets, waistcoats, and breeches before golf-specific attire became popular.” Google. Now if the North Americans interpreted it as “spiffy” that was their problem. There is a tradition associated with this game. I understand people wanting to change the tradition, but why not just invent your own sport if you don’t like the traditions associated with golf? Not everyone wants to go to the lowest common denominator, and calling it “cool” doesn’t make it so. Last edited by Velvet; 11-22-2023 at 07:20 PM. |

Ohhh ... I see. You want to maintain the "TRADITIONAL fashion" of golf? Exactly which tradition is appropriate in your mind? Let's see a photo of you at the golf course. I'm sure you're not wearing polyester and I'm positive your golf shoes are wingtips. I mean, you're a person of tradition, right? Are you beginning to see the absurdity of your contention? |

I am seeing a desperate attempt to justify a position. I prefer not to put people in that position. So the best of luck to you, sincerely.

I'd like to know. What's golf's traditional dress? Is it ok to dress like PGA Tour Pros? Do they respect the game and its traditions? Which "traditional" outfit do you like? |

Although I prefer to dress more casual, my golfing buddies still cling to the old school tradition. Plus, they are a hoot to play with : )

To saying nothing of the fact, that the Executive Golf Courses are PUBLIC courses, owned by the Public.
Next thing you know, someone will be mandating a Dress Code for the Dog Parks, Recreation Centers and the public squares. What the hell, why not have a Dress Code for walking on the sidewalks in TV? |

Home owners in TV are indeed, the "privileged public". The CDD's own the Exec Golf Courses and make the rules. If they wanted to, they could probably make a rule that the "non-privileged public" could play the Executive Courses ... other CDD Communities have done it. A Primer on CDD's can be found here: Community Development Districts – What you should know! | CFM Community Development District You're getting a little off the subject. The fact that there's a "dress code" for Executive Golf courses, is ludicrous in my opinion. That's like the City of Wildwood, telling folks they can't use the Library or Town Hall, unless they wear a tie. Then again, I don't really care what anyone wears to play golf, especially on the Executive Courses. I don't play them. They're not real golf courses. It's like comparing Co-Ed Intramural Flag Football, with the Varsity Football Team. There are some similarities, but it's a different game. |

Anyone can play a public course - let’s see what happens when Bob from Ocala tries to play Red Fox Tuesday morning. While Bob from Ocala can play a championship, he can’t make a tee time on them - so he would be a walk up. “Private courses” could be owned by a corporation or the members. |
