For me I wear my soccer jerseys playing soccer, rugby jerseys playing rugby, work clothes doing work and golf clothes on the golf course!

I don't wear a soccer jersey playing golf because my club doesn't allow it and I don't wear them anyway but when I am at home I do like to wear tracksuit bottoms and a comfortable hoody etc. My point is that when I am wearing these things I am the exact same polite, courteous person as I am when I am out playing golf. I don't think adhering to a dress code encourages someone to be more respectful to those around them. It's like being surprised that an argument breaks out at a tinkers wedding due to the fact they're all wearing suits. It's not the clothes that are the reason someone adheres to the etiquette of golf, it's the person wearing them.

ssbob wrote: » To be fair I gave you a rational explanation to my "OPINION" based on personal experiences. Before I started playing golf a couple of years ago, I had a preconceived notion that golf clubs were snobby becuase of the dress code and etiquette required etc, however since I began playing it became apparent to me that those who disobeyed the rules(which includes dress codes) also had severe problems with etiquette. Your entitled to your opionion however but can we agree to disagree and move on with the thread....................

You're right AJ, there's only 7 GUI registerd clubs in westmeath.@leedslunatic: No im not, but have you such poor respect for your club and the sport that you wouldn't wear something that is more appropriate on a golf course? Are there many people on your course that wear jerseys or are you the only one?

You would see any tour events with Golfers wearing trackies or soccer jerseys? Obviously I have nothing against soccer jerseys as I own many myself and love wearing them...just not golfing. Great discussion bar some not called for insults !!! remember YOUR opinion doesnt make you right ( Thats self reflective too ) Surfer

link_2007 wrote: » I don't think it does though. So any club worth it's salt wouldn't allow someone to wear a jersey on the course. That's your opinion and that is fair enough. But the fact is, his club does. So how is he being disrespectful to the club by wearing one?
