Jeans-poor form?

[Ferrins]

Does seeing someone play comp in a pair of jeans rub you the wrong way? I wear them when it's cold and have a spare pair of strides in the car if asked to change. I have never been asked.

[3oneday]

Maybe in Tenterfield, not many other places though.

[Yossarian]

I think there is a time and a place. I also think it would be sort of uncomfortable and can look a bit unclassy.

[Ferrins]

It started for me playing in Tassie at Pittwater golf club. I turned up to play comp in winter and was the only guy without jeans on.

[Jarro]

I think it looks terrible.

Lift your game ferret !!!

[CobraSS]

You wouldn't get turned away at Woodford.

[Hawkers2008]

People are too up tight. I reckon jeans are okay.

I remember playing with the President of Royal _____ and he said it was a bit silly that his club allowed people to wear really crappy chinos but didn't permit members to wear good quality jeans. He would have been happy to change the rule but it was too harder sell.

[Jarro]

Playing in jeans is nearly as bad as hitting balls at the range without shoes on

[Ferrins]

I think it looks terrible.

Country Road work wear are swish.

Next you will be telling me I can't mark my ball with a beer can or smoke while holding the flag.

[Marto65]

You wouldn't get on Brisbane with them on ...

[Jarro]

Next you will be telling me I can't mark my ball with a beer can or smoke while holding the flag.

I would never tell you to do that ;)

[live4golf]

Jeans are perfectly fine...in fact they should be encouraged...

I have a pair of Versace jeans with their blazing trumpets on them, that would be perfect for Brisbane GC.

[Ferrins]

A pair of jeans in good nick looks better than those stupid Take In The Mouth pants that you wear Marto.

[kpac]

lol
i just love that marto has commented on this thread considering his avatar.


Dead against Jean on course. If you want to wear jeans playing sport there's something wrong form the outset imo.

under the rules you are perfectly entitled to use a beer can for such a purpose

They are the trousers he wore today actually.

[Ferrins]

I'm going to wear a tux next time I play with you Marto.

[MegaWatty]

I used to wear them occasionally at the club I played at in Canberra. If they are neat, I have no issue. Some clubs seem to have an issue though.

[markTHEblake]

I wore jeans once at Emerald Lakes cos everything else was dirty. I copped a hiding for that, so never again.


Though dressing like Doug Sanders is ok. :-)

Capital, Fairbairn, Queanbeyan or Belconnen?

Jeans have no place on a golf course.

[Yossarian]

I'd prefer jeans to loudmouth pants.

[razaar]

Is it jeans or denim?

I knew it was the Bidge. Compares well to the four tracks listed.

[Ferrins]

Denin jeans, Ray.

Shaun, you look like a flaming p^of in your loud mouth shorts.

Try jeggings, they are more socially acceptable.

[Moe Norman]

as long as you wear plain white ankle length socks with them

[oncewasagolfer]

I went to play a practice round at a Vic am qualifier years ago and I was wearing a pair of nice denim shorts and my mate who was going to caddie for me had these horrible multi coloured shorts on. Anyway the bloke in the pro shop wasnt going to let me on the course but was fine with the crap my mate had on.

[PeteyD]

Some of the dreeadful old washed out shirts people wear you have to wonder why jeans are not allowed. Personally i think they look crap, but each to their own.

[BrisVegas]

I'm actually ok with jeans. I had to think about it for a bit though... I cannot stand denim shorts though. I think it's because the guys in denim shorts usually have those horrid multi-coloured social group shirts on, XXXX or VB hats, tube socks and joggers. Looks crap.

Decent jeans, with polo shirt looks fine. I wear it to work most days in fact.

[Ferrins]

Last comp game I played at Tenterfield I wore jeans and Birkenstock clogs.

I didn't think denim was a fabric that kept you warm.

[LarryLong]

+1 You'd be better off wearing thermal tights if you're worried about the temperature.

People wear jeans at my local on comp days, as well as the aforementioned 10 year old shirts. It's not a big deal, but I'm too much of a snappy dresser to do it myself - that and the fact that I don't actually own a pair of jeans.

[Johnny Canuck]

No jeans on a course. It attracts too many bogans.

My pants aren't Jeans ... and are accepted everywhere.

[oncewasagolfer]

I can't wear jeans while playing golf as they are too restrictive and make the OP play up:(

[Dotty]

Do we also get to pick which of the 34 rules in the R&A handbook can be ignored?

If you don't like the dress code, then run for committee and change it.

It gets twice as annoying in the workplace. A company relaxes the old policy to allow 'business casual'. Then knuckleheads criticise them for still not allowing jeans, T shirts or sleeveless blouses (often with the arguement that some designer jeans and Tshirt cost three times as much as the business equivalent). Insane.

ps. Our club is currently addressing the jeans rule, but initially only for clubhouse guests after midday Sunday.

[Courty]

Our Captain wears them most Saturdays. :roll:

[oncewasagolfer]

Last time I wore jeans in a comp was when I was a member at a sand scrape course out the road. I got them caught when trying to get through a barbed wire fence to retrieve my ball from a pile of sheep shit oob, ripped a nice hole in them:)

[golfbound]

someone in our group got sent home from palm meadows to change his jeans at a social day we had.

[MegaWatty]

No jeans on a course. It attracts too many bogans.

Opposed to the bogans today that were allowed to play in canvas shoes and black socks with shorts. I disagree.

[Johnny Canuck]

Try being a member at Kennedy. Your opinion will change.

[rubin]

Try being a member at Kennedy. Your opinion will change.

2 guys got turned away last week for trying to play in jeans.

But I would say more an more courses are getting on the proper attire wagon, and imposing strict dress standards.

[virge666]

I would have thought that anything you can wear in the club should be allowed to be worn on the course ?

I just would find jeans uncomfortable to play in, unless you get those baggy ones all the young'uns are wearing.

[MegaWatty]

Our club doesn't allow jeans in the club.

Virge, baggy jeans are so 2000. It's skinny now mate. No where to put your tees without the chance of an unwanted Prince Alfred.

[Johnny Canuck]

Prince Albert, retard.

Oh yeah. I really need to go to Sexpo.

I hope I made you laugh. :)

[Cosmopolite]

I didnt pick it up at first.

[MegaWatty]

Me neither. ;)

[Johnny Canuck]

I'm chuckling.

[MegaWatty]

I thought about blaming auto correct. But it was such a dumb mistake that I manned up and have had a smile for the last few minutes.

Helped me forget about my game today which had me pretty low. :) :) :)

But I wanted everyone at the club to see what brand of undies I had on. Now I have to show them I am catholic ??

Bit too "Buckingham Palace" for mine.

Bad. Maybe 40 putts!

He even brought the pro down.

+ 1. Unless its accompanied by a mullet. The perfect accessory for jeans on a golf course.

It's the acceptance of social circles that should be your concern, not the clubs ;)

[Marto65]

What .. were you a bouncer / fashion police in a previous life?

They are very comfortable, thanks. And the guys that I play with aren't complaining (no homo).

[Moe Norman]

I wouldn't complain, but I do giggle a little at your expense ;)

[Marto65]

I wouldn't complain, but I do giggle a little at your expense ;)

Thats fine mate, glad I can make you chuckle. .. One of the reasons I wear them is to get a reaction from people (no homo).

Some hate them, like the current captain at my course. Some like them, but most wont wear them.

My top three hates

1/ Camo shorts
2/ Loud mouth pants

i was taking the piss... note emoticon.
But if you did want my opinion, they do look pretty stupid. not going to stop you wearing them. I like a bad pair of pants as much as the next bloke. Just wont se me in any of those things.

[dean0820]

the golf course is one of the few places blokes can have some fun with their clothes.
anyone too conservative to wear fun clothes even on the golf course probably wouldn't be much fun to have a beer with either.
in fact, now that i think about it, of the 20 guys i play with regularly, there is also a direct correlation between their risk taking in clothing and their risk taking in shot making.
i might do a masters thesis relating golf fashion to success in business or something.

wow, I've played in the #1 and #3 in the last days, even a few weeks back in the CC finals.
I'll admit it, I play in jeans, but if I go somewhere where the dress code says no denim I'm not going to argue with them, its there course.

[Dazza]

I wear jeans during the week, no way would I wear them on the course.

[Ferrins]

Had no inkling that I was wearing a pair of jeans at Reddy until Timah pointed it out. Honestly thought they were black trousers.

[johnny b goode]

generally a pretty feral look, ya know its a long day when on a public course behind a group of players in jeans:roll:

[BrisWesty]

Jeans should be fine as long as a pleat is ironed into the front and back of them. ;-)
