I haven't read the entire thread, but here is my take. Unless you are at some upscale private club where you are trying to impress your guests or clients, who cares?

We all have opinions, it's just a matter of whether or not we choose to express them. I personally don't "care" enough what people wear. Nonetheless, I still have an opinion.

I think sleeve-less are terrible for any sport which is not Rock Climbing or Beach Volleyball, but I'm not too picky about what people wear.

This might sound terrible, but unfortunately it’s true. I've seen VERY ugly guys in their slacks and collar shirts who think they just look perfect for the game. I'm sure I look better in a pink g-string thong and an orange tie than they do dressed like that. I guess that's one of those snobbish old-school golf things I have never been able to understand. I still don’t know why someone should be called a gentleman for using slacks and a vagrant for using shorts. Am I a gentleman if my shorts are Armani? Are K-Mart slacks worth to be called a gentleman as well? Would it be ok to go in a Tuxedo?

At the end it's not a matter of what you use but how you look. I've seen Tiger in a non-collar shirt a couple of times looking great. I’ve seen a lot “properly dresses” looking horrendous.

I think it’s a matter of what you feel confortable with. Yes, of course, there are some basic rules (please leave the pink g-string thong out lol), but shouldn’t go over the boundaries. No sleeve-less as I mentioned, maybe no trainers, but a nice collar less t-shirt can do the trick perfectly well. You can go to the Cannes Festival with a Tee and a jacket so I guess it won’t be much a problem for my $50 buck golf course, won’t you agree?

Cheers…

Mock turtlenecks are almost universally accepted on golf courses. They look significantly better than a gap tee shirt.

To me its the same thing as a dirty car, not being well groomed, or anything else. It is an extension of who we are as people. I like golf clothes and the different looks that I can put together. I go WAY overboard by buying shoes to coincide with my outfits, but that is just me. But tradition is tradition. Jeans and tee shirts were not allowed, just like other parts of ettiquite with this great game of ours. All should be respected. By dressing nice on the course, it is not to impress anyone like some are saying. Its just an extension of me the individual.

I think your attire speaks very little about a person. Hygiene says a lot more. Judging a person based on what they wear says more about you than them.

Until recently, orange plaid and canary yellow double knit polyester was acceptable on the golf course. It hasn't been that long since blacks weren't allowed. So much for the noble and honourable traditions of golf.

Wear whatever the course allows, which is the same policy for restaurants or any other establishment. It's up to the course or whatever, to set their minimum standards. As long as you're within those standards, what's the problem?

Nobody said judging people. I said it was an extension of who you are as a person. The same reason other factors come into play. I dress up in nice clothes because it makes ME feel better and I like the way I look, not for others.

I used to dress the traditional way when I was dead serious about the game.
All of you are going to hate me from my reading of this thread...I am the guy who wears cut-off shirts and baggy shorts. Even with my profession (special ed. teacher), I still prefer to dress comfortable to me. After all, I am also a biker and musician. I do call ahead and check for dress codes, but when they say "no code", I always wear the tanks.
Tradition is a wonderful thing, but I personally think there are more important aspects of tradition such as courtesy and mannerisms on the course.
Then again, you are nto going to see me playing at a nice club or private course, so I'm one up on the guys who wear cut-off jean shorts :>)

Poor college student. I'm pretty sure that's what it says about me. Not like I care though, because I golf at a cheap 9 hole hometown course.

    • Thanks for the insight. This is not on my radar, and I am not sure it is something I need to worry about right now or if at all. I am a bit more concerned with swing length right now. Maybe tilt affects that, but most likely not to the degree in which I overswing 😉. 
    • speed blades don't have a 3iron that I know of. My 4 is already 20* . I love it as it is super straight. I went to golf Galaxy to try some hybrids and 2 iron my numbers and spin were bouncing all over the place. wasn't hitting good that day. I did hit the 4 ping 430 hybrid 215yds a  couple of times but never got consistency anywhere. It was all me mis hitting that day.The GAPR is something to think about and would like to try one sometime. in the meantime I had a 16* Adams Gold pro hybrid I was using. I took it out, choked up on it to hit it like an iron and hit it 185 into the wind and 230 with wind at my back. I am gonna ride with this awhile and see what I got. Looks promising from 1st outing.
    • My home course is Stoneleigh GC in Round Hill VA.  The course would get murdered, from the back tees its only about 6800 yards, and there's really not room to stretch it out. There would effectively be no par-5s, and several of the par-4s would be reachable.  For contrast, local qualifying in my area is often held at Woodmont CC in Maryland, which played to over 7300 yards this year.  It took 134 (-8) to qualify for the US Open. 
    • If you like Taylormade, they have produced GAPR clubs for several years now. They are not-quite-hybrids... but close. They come in Lo, Mid and Hi varieties which vary in how much they look like an iron. The Lo is almost a chunky iron. The Hi looks very hybrid-esque. The Mid is somewhere in between.  Since they've made them for a while now and come out with new variations on them every year, you can probably get a slightly used one at a pretty good deal. They change the color and tweak them here and there, but they aren't that much different. If money is no object go get fitted for one that gets you your 200 yards consistently.  If the GAPR doesn't work for you Taylormade UDI and DHY might be more your cup of tea. These are slightly more iron-y than the GAPR's.  Incidentally Ping also makes a similar product theirs is called a crossover.  Basically, all the big brands have something like this. Just search out Utility Irons and you should get plenty of options.
