I wont wear jeans, or be seen with anyone wearing jeans on the course. Its a respect for the game issue with me.

We are a semi private course. MOST PLAY IS PUBLIC and[b] we wont let you play[/b] if you show up in any form of denim or collarless shirt.

So if Freddie or Phil(or whomever your favorite pro might be) showed up and asked to join you, and he was wearing jeans, you would decline the opportunity?

Is that a course dress code policy or do you take it upon yourselves to determine the rules about who gets to play?

My God, I cannot believe what a big deal people make of this. Shouldn't you be more worried about if people are maintaing pace of play, fixing ball marks and divots and such than if they are wearing jeans. Why do so many people care about what others are wearing?

Personally, I never wear jeans. And until a few years ago, I never saw jeans on the golf course.

My home course is a $98 per round public course. Once the temperature drops it seems 50% of the guys out there are wearing jeans.

It's not against club policy so I don't care...I just find it interesting.

I tend to agree. I don't wear jeans, long or short to the course, but I could really care less about what anyone else wears. To each his own.

whenever I see a person on the course, any course, in jeans, I notice it. It doesn't bother me, it just looks out of place. Respect the game.

I'm with you. I can't help but make a mili-second judgment about the person.


BTW-I played the season ending tournament for our league, which was held at a sister course. One of the guys wore blue jean shorts. He was asked to change. He looked so confused by the request and said he had no idea. Having played in a league with the guy all year, I believe him. He took up the game at 40 and just enjoys playing, mostly lower end courses where it doesn't matter. I was raised in a golf playing family of blue collar steel workers who all taught me proper etiquette and attire. It was the only place that my family acted with such accord and it made me appreciate it even more. My guess is that many people are like that guy and just have no idea about the etiquette and dignity associated with golf tradition.

So I hate to judge someone after seeing this firsthand example of a great guy who just doesn't know any better. But I do.

Besides any local rules, why should we care what someone else wares. It's probably one of the minor things that holds the sport back from grabing a few more players. I think golf could see a little (all-be-it very little) boost if it wasn't seen as such an elietist thing. That being said the only real time I would get pissed is if some one tired waring workboots/heavy working shoes on the course. Thats pretty stupid.

I would never wear jeans on the golf course now. I might have worn jeans once or twice in high school since golf practice was right after school, but I usually wore khaki shorts to school.

But yeah, if others are wearing jeans, it's not like I can say anything. I personally think dressing appropriately is also being respectful to the game.

Absolutely not to jeans and I would take it a couple steps further. Shorts would only be allowed if you were walking and it was over 90 degrees and you would not be allowed to wear anything with cargo pockets.

I agree with no jeans on the course, I don't even like jeans at the range, chipping or practice greens but i DEFIANTLY think that shorts be allowed, as long as they are fitted golf shorts, I'm from Australia so shorts can easily be justified all year round :)

My 0.02 cents.

Show some respect for the game and other golfers that respect the game. Keep the Canadian Tuxedo, ie: denim, for special occasions such as lumberjacking, manual labor, bar attire, baseball games, etc. I have one rule in life: no freaking denim on a golf course. If you want to look like a slob, do it away from a golf course. Wife beaters, collarless shirts with the exception of mock necks, cargo shorts, t-shirts and denim all have a place, which is not a golf course!

Although I personally don't wear jeans on the course, I understand why some folks (especially newbies in the game) wear them. I'm not offended by it nor do I think it disrespects the game. I can imagine what the "originators" of the golf donned as they tended their flocks. Please remember that all golf venues are not Bushwood.

 

 

The answer to better golf is hit it better, farther, and make more putts.
