Most golf courses require proper dress. This can vary from course to course, but in general it means hats off in the clubhouse, collared shirts, bermuda shorts or dress slacks (no jeans or cargo pants).

Public courses tend to be less restrictive and more lax on the enforcement of these standards.

Sometimes these rules can be a good thing and sometimes they're a pain in the rear.

No collar and cargo pants. Two faux pas.

It's hard to teach junior golfers respect for themselves, the game, the rules, the tradition and the etiquette of golf when the Michael Jordans of the world ignore these things. He needs to shape up or take up another hobby.

And you're right. It's an ugly golf bag.

Beware the man that carries a lob wedge and a three wood to his ball at the same time. He could be dangerous. :)
