Golf Dress Code

like mentioned already

Knee lenght shorts and any plain polo shirt will be fine..

pretty sure most people will have these items of clothes with them while on holiday?

Hi rich&bops,

I am absoutley thrilled that the golf clubs on mainland uk are not affected by the recession and I hope long may it last.

I only play golf in Ireland and Great courses like Portrush, Castle Hume, Spa, Ballyliffen, Foyle, Hedford, Portmarnock, Blackrock.... where staff take time pouring your Guinness and are happy to provide service. And I cannot emphasise enough they provide great food in comfortable and relaxing surroundings. Weather, what has weather to do with playing golf. Friends, craic, laughter and competitiveness. 

When in Spain /Portugal I am on holiday, a few cold beers and a sandwich on the course (especially in Costa del Sol where the refreshment carts are always within sight, or doing their rounds). And aterwards at the ninteenth at, Los Olivos, Calahohda, Rio Real, Torrequebrada,  La Pina. .....Tme to relax, chill out, talk rubbish, have a few too many and plan the night ahead. I can assure you I have never been approached as to my dress code. Years and years ago you wouldn't have played on some courses without proof of an official handicap, how times have changed.

Cheers

Found this article in todays Telegraph.

I have sent an e mail to the Telegraph with a link to this thread, they are obviously over stating the facts and anyway the sound financial advice offered here will soon have things sorted.

The implications for vacation resorts like ours is all too evident to me.

Cheers.

Hi Jacsandy and welcome

Please don't be put off by what happened to my son. I could almost guarantee you that no one will approach you as to your dress, if a collared shirt / poloshirt is worn.  Don't worry too much as to the type of shorts you wear, I would not expect this type of incident to occur to anyone over forty.. Eitherway it is a great day out and the walk alone will be reward enough.

cheers
