Dress Code

There is an unwritten dress code for golf. Wear the wrong thing and will be out of place and the awkward stares will soon follow. Golf is a very proper sport and even if you are new to the sport you don't want to look it. Think about it, you wouldn't wear cut up jeans and a tshirt covered in holes to church, it's the same way with golf. It is business casual if you wanted to give it a name. It's slacks, collard shirts, and a ball cap (of a proper brand). And if you wear shorts they must be appropriate. Hoochie shorts are definitely frowned upon, but that rule is logical. If your butt is already hanging out of the bottom of your shorts imagine what it looks like when you rear back and swing with all you have..

Shoes are a whole other story. They aren't just shoes they tell what kind of a golfer you are. GolfStinks and I have the same idea about shoe styles. The "could-be-a-sneaker-could-be-a-shoe" style. I have a Nike shoe that is comfy and looks great with everything. Golf dress code has changed over the years for acceptable foot apparel. It seems like everyone is making a golf shoes now and I had no idea until I tried to find a pair how much variety is actually out there. As long as they are actual golf shoes they should pass as acceptable. 

Wearing the wrong this is the quickest way to look like the outcast. It is one thing that tends to show the new players from the old.
