What is "Proper Golf Attire"?


Recommended Posts

Score card read;

Proper golf attire required:

Is that in the rules?                        

What is proper golf attire?
(Which commandment is it)
Who decides what “proper golf attire is”?

Is church attire ok? 
“Cutoffs, tank top, with flip flops”

Does a redneck golfer always have to wear blue jeans, a shirt with no sleeves and a red hat?

Is it unorthodox to golf without a hat on?

Thanks 

Don

What you wear (generally) has nothing to do with the Rules of Golf and everything to do with the facility's dress code.

Public versus private. Golf sports rules versus how an organization wants its contractors to act and dress. LIV is a totally separate business with its own HR policies on dress code.

🤦🏼‍♂️

Also, the PGA (of America, or really, any other country) is not the same as the PGA Tour.

Do me and the other 27,000+ PGA members the small favor of getting that right.

And that topic is here:

Are you just trolling?

The dress codes of these 2 tours (it's called the PGA Tour, not the PGA, by the way) was enforced long before this "merger", which was announced like a minute ago, without all the details being worked out.  Things such as what happens to the Tour players now being shafted for having held out, or what happens to the LIV players, as far as rejoining the PGA Tour (or DP World Tour) are not clear yet. Never mind the silly debate of shorts vs long pants.

I have never understood wearing jeans when playing golf.
And I know people who not only wear jeans, but walk the course.

Just seems like the least comfortable pant option.

It's really just going to depend on the course and what standard they want to set if any.  If a course is going to be serious about a dress code, they would be well-advised to post it fairly clearly on their website. 

For instance, Yankee Trace is a municipal course in my area, but a fairly fancy one. Centerville is the sort of place that demands red brick for its gas stations. It probably takes to much digging on their web page to find it, but it shows:

Dress Code

To protect the rights and privileges of all persons at Yankee Trace, proper attire must be always worn on the golf course and on the practice facilities from April 1st through October 31st.

  • Golf Course: Work jeans, bathing attire, t-shirts, gym and tennis shorts, cut-offs and short shorts, tank tops, halter tops, and other similar dress are inappropriate. Recommended length of shorts is Bermuda length, approximately 3 inches above the knee. Collared or mock neck shirts are required.
  • Practice facilities: Bathing attire, cut-offs and short shorts, tank tops, halter tops, and other similar dress or offensive language/logos on clothing are inappropriate. Recommended length of shorts is Bermuda length, approximately 3 inches above the knee.

Any guest not in compliance with this policy may be restricted from use of the facilities until properly attired. Ready-to-wear shirts, pants, and shorts are available for sale in the golf shop.

Centerville doesn't do short shorts.

Basically, any private business has the right to refuse service to people, as long as it isn't discriminatory.


Can a business refuse customer service? Learn if it is legal for companies to refuse service for not complying with a store’s mask or vaccine requirements.

Summary: A business owner has the right to refuse service as long as he or she does not infringe upon federal or state discrimination laws. Background Across the nation, businesses display and enforce their right to refuse...

When it comes to a golf course, if they require business casual dress code (no jeans, collared shirts, no cargo shorts), they are allowed to deny service to those not wanting to obey those requirements. 

It is not discriminatory to require a certain basic level of dress code at a golf course. A lot of golf courses have relaxed this, allowing jeans, no collared shirts. 

In the end, you get to choose what golf courses you play. Do some due diligence to check the dress code. If you do not like it, do not play there. 

No too hard.

    • I'm thinking of handing these out at the tournament I play every year. Maybe put them in the welcome kit.  Ball Mark Repair Tips Stickers - 20/package USGA Members, please sign in to receive your Member discount: Sign In These 4" W x 6" L eye-catching stickers provide ball mark repair tips. 20 per package. Official USGA publication. Become a USGA Member and save today! Too bad their stickers and not laminated cards.  They should really hand them out at the city league golf course on the first league night of the year. 👍  
    • I've been looking at this one but haven't pulled the trigger yet: Amazon.com   During Christmas they were 20% off.  I don't see that price now.  
    • I got the ridge wallet that has the elastic strap to hold the money. The ridge wallet itself is built great. I am getting use to using the built in strap. I had the one in the image above with the metal money clip and it worked great.  Since I got my 2nd one, I use the old ridge wallet for gift cards and misc cards.   
    • I have exactly 11 cards in mine right now.  Here's some pix of it with 11 cards and 18 bills.
