Jeans on the Golf Course - Yay or Nay?

[geesecougar2]

I think that a staff bag with your name embroidered on it is MUCH worse than jeans.

I've played courses that allow jeans that were nicer than the course down the "trail" that had a strict dress code.

I would never wear jeans. I hate even going to the range with jeans. I wear nike dri-fit stuff and light weight pants/shorts.

I wear jean shorts for a number of reasons. But the number one reason is tick off you snobs. If you snobs have so much respect for the game wear Kilts.

I would personally never wear jeans, but I have played with guys in jeans and a white tee who open a can on their buddy decked out in JL gear. As long as it's not against the dress code, I wouldn't have a problem.

there is really no sense in fighting it. I don't wear jeans on the course, actually there is no denim at my club. Tradition is out the window in evertything this day in age. Come on we can't even say christmas vacation at our kids school. Mailman, Policman are obsolete. I do believe in a dress code especially at a private club and am glad we can't wear denim though.

[ABgolfer2]

I wouldn't wear denim to play, but I like courses that allow it since there tends to be a lower percentage of pompous douchebags on those courses.

...because unfortunately on many occasions, with tradition comes stereotypical prejudice. Must agree sometimes it goes overboard, though "back in the day" men wore khaki type dress pants as casual wear, so slacks on a golf course was not seen as dressing up as it is today.

When you have billionaire business moguls doing business in front of hundreds of millions of people while wearing jeans, I hardly say they are the pinnacle of trash as some like to think they are.

Times change, it was rare to see a pickup truck driven by anyone other than the grounds crew in a country club parking lot back in the 1960's or 70's or even 80's....now a 1 ton diesel lifted to the moon is a status symbol that costs more than a Cadillac and outnumbers many high end cars at some posh layouts.

I would never wear jeans as there is always something more comfortable but to each his own.

I have however seen someone wear tight jeans on 105F & 100% humidity. He looked pretty uncomfortable.

This.

[Wedge Ninja]

Hell No!...Never in life!

[K-Brown]

Jeans are not proper attire to play golf. Trousers or some golf shorts only. I also agree with no cargo shorts or jorts.

[marmooskapaul]

Some one should let Phil M. know it's not proper to give away school supplies to needy kids while wearing jeans and an untucked shirt. See his interview in golf magazine last month.Oh the horror of it.

Completely depends upon the course. At an mid to upscale public course, country club or resort I think they're out of place. But at a small, rural town muni, or a public track out in the middle of farmland I think they're acceptable.

I'm guessing at the family run 9-holer out in the sticks jeans are MORE appropriate than khakis.

[MarkC]

Definetly not, A golf pants or golf shorts are fine, but not jeans

[score72418]

I never wear jeans in the warmer months but when it gets down around 40-50 (real feel) then I will sometimes wear jeans. Depends on the course of course!

[mjonzy20]

Nay, not comfortable enough for me and the courses around here have a no denim rule

[moch9]

Well put. Totally agree

[Redhawk59]

Never have and never will. I'm an assistant pro at a high end public course, and it drives me crazy when people show up in jeans and have no clue, especially in the middle of the summer when it's 90+ out.

Do you let them on the course?

[bwiley]

nooooooooooooooo jeans but to each their own i suppose

[farmer]

I live in a very small town, and am a member of a very small club, in a very rural area. If our members couldn't wear jeans, we would have no members. I played yesterday with a friend who was leaving after the round to call coyotes, so he was in full camo. But he plays quckly and by the rules, so I would rather play with him in camo than someone in Polo who slobbers his way around the course.

THIS, THIS, THIS. Judge your playing compaionions by how they conduct themselves on the course, not what they conduct themselves in.

[rge]

I have a very simplistic view of this. If the course dress code doesn't allow jeans, then don't wear them. If it does, then do so if you wish. I for one don't find it particularly comfortable to play in jeans so I Don't.

[glcoach]

Nothing more dorky looking than jeans and saddle oxford golf shoes....ridiculous

The ONLY time jeans should ever be thought of as ok are in rural areas where most of the golfers are farmers or the like and jeans are literally all they own/wear.

[The Big Pinch]

No jeans allowed in any golf area of my club. Ok in grill room though.

[highscoreinky]

Our club allows jeans and yes, I wear them sometimes. When it's below 40 degrees, windy, and muddy from melting snow I will wear jeans to play in.

[vol_in_ar]

no Jeans, can't even wear your hat, in the Clubhouse...

[bigmoneyp]

I personally don't wear jeans but I don't mind if people do as long as its not against course policy. I'm pretty young (25) and it seems many people my age (in west michigan) are wearing them. Its not against course policy at my home course or at many of higher end courses around here.
