JeffC Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Ive been invited to make up a 4 ball at quite a posh local golf course (ramside hall) now its been years since i played and cant recall the exact dress code , im planning on wearing taylored shorts and polo shirt but not sure what you can get away with for socks a quick google suggest knee length dark coloured socks but as im this side of 70 I dont own any and was gonna wear my usual ankle socks can any of the Golfers on here clarify if im likely to get evicted from the course for wearing short socks (once they see me digging up the course with a 7 iron they prob will anyway ) Quote
Simeon Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Trainer socks are quite acceptable at golf courses these days, however just take some money with you so you can buy a pair of acceptable ones at the pro shop if necessary. Quote
lippydave Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I'd look to the pro's for inspiration..... Here's Natalie Gulbis, a top American Golf Pro..... Errrr, what was the question about socks again? Quote
SteveD Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 just dress like huggy bear and you will be fine Quote
Mark Stanton Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Summer attire at my GC if wearing tailored shorts is long socks only (no tennis short ones) all shirts must have collar and no shorts allowed at all in the club house bars / restaurant only on the terrace. Evening a collar and tie must be worn in dining room and formal bar - but not required in "scruffs / Tartan Bar" If its a municipal course dress code is more relaxed and short tennis socks are o.k altho its still tailored only shorts Quote

Mines a private club where trainer socks and shorts are allowed in the clubhouse during the day Quote
scott beeland Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 If there was ever a sport/ leisure/ passtime that's up its own A***, then this has gotta be it Dress code??? goodness me Quote
Captain Colonial Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 My neighbour was captain at an old established top club, and had a real battle to relax the rules on socks from knee high to mid calf. He just couldn't understand why the whole thing made me PMSL every time we discussed it at the pub. How childish and pathetic can grown men carrying a bag of sticks and chasing a little white ball for miles be? Just paint your legs black from the knee down. Simples! Quote
Westford Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Sorry, what was the question? I'm still looking at the girls A***. Westford Quote
Bananaman Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 If there was ever a sport/ leisure/ passtime that's up its own A***, then this has gotta be it Dress code??? goodness me Well said Mr B........... Now i don't mind golf as a game (even got a set of bats myself!) but the bulls*** around the game is pathetic... My mate used to own/run a golf club and he said the "members" were like a bunch of spoilt children! Quote
JeffC Posted June 29, 2011 Author Posted June 29, 2011 Agree, I used to be a member of our local course and the older generation that played there were a law to themselves , they were so far up there own a**es it was unreal, rather like a lot of the Caterham and Porsche owners Ive come across , my pal used to call them 10 bob millionares , I just called them w*nkers Im teeing off at 1.00 today and its an event organised by one of the big Jewellers from Newcastle with a very select invitation list of their top customers , my pal has bought his collection of Panerai watches from the place and one of his pals dropped out last minute hence i got the invite last night Oh how im not going to fit in today will be like a square peg in a round hole Quote
