Jeans on the Golf Course - Yay or Nay?

[redhawkgolf]

I wear jeans when it is cold and jean shorts when its warm. If you snobs do not like it that is your problem. I wear nice collared golf shirts. I always were clean shorts and shirts. I think I look better than many people I see with dirty sweaty and stained khakis. To each his own.

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. [b][size="5"]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.

Well said here.

[racingdc9]

No for me. I have yet to see or play with a person that wore jeans to play and they played well. Most of the time they are pretty bad and I quit after 9 holes.

[hittingitdeep]

Nope no jeans ever. When its cold just wear underarmor under a pair of nice golf pants and if it is still too cold throw some rain pants on top and if it is still tooo cold then you shouldn't be playing. Jeans are only for Daly.

[theebdk]

Jeans never on the course or in the clubhouse. However, just switched private clubs and the new one allows jeans in the winter. I do not approve, looks kind of silly and uncomfortable.

Im in my late 20's and i would never wear jeans on the course. If your course is adjoined to a trailer park then i guess jeans are ok. I dont know how you say jeans are more comfortable when most of the guys who wear jeans on the course are wearing a 10 year old pair that is two sizes too small. Now dont get me wrong im not a Khaki pants tucked in shirt guy. i wear shorts (not jean shorts either) untill its cold then its khakis. To everyone who wears jeans you know they do sell khaki pants at Walmart, even wrangler makes them.

So...
Khakis from Walmart + untucked shirt= "Classy?"
Well-fitting jeans (that cost far more than any Walmart cheapo khakis and likely fit better) = trailer trash?



I'll be sure to relay this to the people who play in jeans at my course who pull up in their Caddies, Lexus, and Audis.

You obviously didnt get the Joke so let me say this SLOWLY. I was saying people who wear jeans to golf most likely shop at wal-mart. and i am impressed you know so many people in high places who drive such nice cars. I am 27 and my girlfriend is 26 we both drive Audi's not really a big deal.

I work a blue collar job and live a blue collar lifestyle. I enjoy and respect the game very much. As such I treat the course and everyone on it with respect., wether they're dressed like a tour pro, or wearing cut off Daisy Dukes. I can't afford to outfit myself with a second wardrobe just to play. The game is expensive enough the way it is with memberships and equipment costs. By the way my membership only costs me $675 for two courses and it's a burden to come up with that each year. Not everyone is well enough off to approach the game the same way some of you guys do. Demeaning someone because of what they wear would not be acceptable with the people I play with (who all wear jeans by the way). While everyones opinions are their own business, maybe you could keep the useless low blows to yourself. Grow up...

[ZBigStick]

How about Pajamajeans?

[bubbagump]

I cant even wear jeans to the range. Gotta be in some kinda golf clothes.

[whydoilovegolf]

Wouldn't Jeans be awfully restriciting?

[setter02]

I`ll wear jeans to the indoor golf dome during the winter, but never when I`m outside unless its a spur of the moment range session. I really dislike the look, won`t get into it. Not sure how people can say they are more comfortable then a pair of golf pants. I love my Adidas pants, and even seemless TW Platniums.

I guess for me it's what I'm more comfortable with. I wear jeans on a daily basis. I wear slacks when the occassion calls for it. But for me they're comfortable for about the first thirty minutes, not something I'd want to do anything physical in. I am sure it's different for golf pants, probably designed a little better for something like that. If I were to play more competetively I would probably lean towards slacks, but on a casual round I feel no need to go home and change after work before I hit the course. Then again, I'm not playing the most upscale courses around either. I'm not out of place I guess.

[tbuford]

[size="3"]Never have, never will. I am at a club that doesn't allow denim or collarless shirts on property. I appreciate that, and so do our guests / members. Winter is always the worst....the jeans are warmer than thin khaki's so it is something we monitor. We have light weight rain pants that we "loan" out for those that are not aware of the restriction, or we make them a really "good deal" on a pair of slacks from the pro shop. Our members and guests have high expectations of the course, staff and clubhouse....we have high expectations of them as well....[/size]

How do you figure?

[golfpunk59]

I would never wear jeans to golf and I don't ever play anywhere that allows it. I would rather someone make the effort and wear slacks and a collar even if it is cheap and from walmart than to have the arrogance to show up in jeans and expect it to be allowed.

[Meurig]

Big nay! First time I played golf with the father in law he wore jeans at his country club and I almost hit the floor. It was allowed, but don't like the idea! Call me old fashioned but nay!

So, if you play with people that play bad you quit? I think I played with you once
I think it is funny how seriously people stand on this issue. That it has the potential to make you NOT play is laughable. I understand that some establishments do not allow it, which is their prerogative. But if someone can play in jeans and keep pace, they can be my playing partner any day. Hopefully they will not be offended by my knickers.

If it's about tradition, than why don't we wear the garb from the 1700's. I just don't understand if people think it is below them to play with the common folk or what. I think maybe some of these folk think a little too highly of themselves. I'm not trying to come off as a jerk, I just get irritated when people look down on other people like that. I have a feeling that is the attitude that has kept a lot of people from taking up the game.

[cp1436]

I normally play public courses, and see people wearing them all the time. I don't judge peoples swing or game, so, I'll not judge their attire. Personally I don't wear jeans because I walk and they would be extremely uncomfortable.

[9ccat9]

Like I said before, I am a big NO on jeans on the Golf Course. However, I always wear jeans and can not understand the point of them being extremely uncomfortable?? Go out and spend a few more dollars and get a good pair of jeans that fit. I could play 18 in my jeans if I had to, just can't at most clubs and not a fan of the look. The pic of MuLuman83 above looks fine to me, those seem like jeans with some style. I do hit balls in the fall/winter at a public range in jeans and have never been uncomfortable?
All of this being said, I have never played a round of golf with a good player wearing jeans on the course.

[Jeep1423]

I'm with Meurig...Jeans are horrible on a golf course. I see it and immediately wait for a "FORE!"

[DaSportsGuy]

I don't mind them on a golf course. If it's a cooler day and someone throws on a pair of jeans I could care less.

[MJP22]

Only wore them once....when I played after about 5 days of rain in the spring when it was still in the 50s.

[wmhipple]

Depends on where i am at. At the club..... never jeans. On vacation or at cheap muni...... jeans and sandels

[iheartu]

Depends if I go right aster work or not. I try not to though

[Matt5161]

Jeans are great, but they are NOT for the golf course.

[marmooskapaul]

I love this thread!
Jeans are everywhere and are the fashion bomb. Get use to it.Dockers and hackies are dead and rightfully so. Nice jeans look way better than crumpled up hackies.
Now go buy you some nice jeans.

[WVP]

I can't believe 20% on this site wears jeans, even occasionally.

I am pretty much a full blown golf noob (though quickly improving) and I'm embarrassed to play with my low HC jackass friend that wears jeans.

[Ladiegolfer]

Nooooooooooooo! Never!

no jeans always dress to impress

Who do you think you are going to impress on the golf course with your choice of clothes?
