golf sandals?

[lichty]

which courses allows and doesn't allow the cleated sandals? i know some have a more conservative dress code and others are more laid back.

["Richard"]

I'v never played a course that doesnt allow sandals, and if they don't they never enforced it while I was there

[Colby]

Most public courses are OK with them. If you are playing a private course, you may want to check. When I played the Royal Montreal a few years ago, I had to put long pants on as the socks I was wearing with my shorts were ankle socks and I would have had to buy longer socks to play there in shorts.

Emerald Links doesn't allow sandals, and they enforce it. I was bitter. They're off my "living on a golf course" possibility list.

[Shushu]

Emerald Links does allow sandals...although you have to wear socks with them. Ridiculous!!!!!!!

We don't want to see your toes - especially after you've been in a bunker or 2.

nobody should wear sandals on the golf course...ever...

[3Jack]

i agree. i have as much use for golf sandals as a cat has for pyjamas.

Out of curiosity why do you say golf sandals should NEVER be worn on a golf course?

LOL !! That was hilarious...

...except for medical reasons. It's all about statistics Indio. 99% of golfers who take their games seriously (or too seriously) never wear sandals. 99% of golfers who wear sandals don't take their games seriously. (Sandals are virtually ridiculed at many private clubs.)

Who would you rather play with?

Spidey........

I would rather play with someone who doesn't take their games seriously (or too seriously).

So now if you are booked on the 20th for the Forum FUN day, pray that you don't get paired up with me cause even if it is 20 below, I am wearing sandals!

You see Spidey, I live by the saying 'the clothes don't make the man'..... I do not judge a person by how they look, what they wear, what they eat or what they do. I judge a man by the respect he accords to others

have a nice day

I wear my sandals when I am playing in a fun tournament environment. It helps get rid of those sock tan lines!

[fundonny]

My sandals are great for dry courses. But when it's wet, it's like a water slide under my feet.

[Shushu]

Sandals are just as good if not better in my opinion. I have owned multiple of both sandals and regular shoes. I can't feel any difference in my swing between them. Maybe the people who say sandals shouldn't be worn ever need therapy over there hatred for toes. It's a comfort thing. And they are comfortable. If you like hot sweaty feet over comfortable feet....be my guest.

[fundonny]

He's right, comfort is paramount! But it comes after stability.

i second that emotion...if you sport sandals on the golf course you'll end up being one of these people:

That is a great link.

There was a guy on a green with a pair of flip flops & socks, about 1/3 of the way down the page.

so socks & sandals are the new mullet?

[Colby]

You should try sandals once, they are really comfortable.

[spidey]

I do not judge a person by how they look

Indio,

If you infer that just because I answer your question, that I must be the enemy, then I hope I don't play with you.

You can wear whatever you want, and golf however you like, but you can keep your bias to yourself.

Doesn't it appear that you did exactly that....?

We all do. If it looks like a duck, waddles like a duck, and quacks like a duck.... man, it's probably a duck. So there are exceptions. And it's human nature to want to be different, unique or special. But if you're going to be different, you should expect people to react to you differently.

Simply, if you're on a golf course, and you play like everybody else, dress like everybody else and talk like everybody else, you're much more likely to fit in with everybody else.

....which is not to say that I necessarily do that.

[Indio]

Indio,

Alright then, we do have something we can agree upon

[fundonny]

Time of the month guys?

[Indio]

Time of the month guys?

[Shushu]

HAHA....Zing!!! All this fussin and a feudin.... "Would someone please think about the children!!!" Who cares what people wear and don't wear.....I remember a time when you could only wear collared shirts...now with the "Tiger Look", Mock Necks are becoming a norm at alot of places with new golfers. So what's the big deal about sandals?

[fundonny]

I can't wait until i can golf in my gitch!

[Shushu]

I think I've seen that....."I feel like partying"

[fundonny]

Nice!!!!!!!!!! I was already told I can't do that at the golf day on the 20th. Can you get permission to come?

[lichty]

wow that must be a new record 2-3 actual posts then totally off topic..not a matter of why you should or shouldn't. it was a matter of which courses don't allow them.

[fundonny]

The courses that don't allow them are just snobbish in my opinion...
