My friend invited me to play a round at a course that I have never been to before. We both had the day off of work and I told him last week that I was going to try to play a round on Monday and he said there is a nice place near him that has a deal on non-holiday Mondays.
When I checked in to pay, the guy behind the counter asked if I had a different shirt because they have a rule against branded shirts that aren't golf logos.
I know that I am poor and a trash golfer, but I have NEVER had an experience like that. I was allowed to play but I was asked to make sure that I looked at the dress code next time. I shot a 113 and lost 5 balls, so I doubt they would want me back anyhow.
TL;DR a private course that is open to the public didn't like my shirt.

Fuck em
The fuck? I would never go back there. What constitutes a “golf logo”?
Snobs.
never heard something ridiculous like this
lmao that makes NO sense
That is absolutely ridiculous.
That place sucks
Should have just taken the shirt off and asked if he preferred the man nips or the logo
So you bought a marked up shirt in the pro shop?
What a joke. Next time this:
Golf logo? There’s a fucking eagle on my shirt, like the 4 or 5 I’m going to drop on your shitty little course today – mic drop, walk out
Needs more flair
Ridiculous. Name and shame please! Leave a review, too. Golf is too big right now so these places can’t really fail (and get away with shit like this), but we as customers can slowly get the word out on poorly run places.
Usually it’s a collared shirt, never heard of “golf branded” but does that mean I can show up in a Nike workout shirt though?
Fuck that place I need to know the name of the course.
[please go back tomorrow looking like this](https://images.app.goo.gl/ND4bu4QGSXBVPy3p9)
They were just messing with you. That is not a real thing.
Tell em it’s a golf logo.
American Eagle Golf.
I’ve never heard of this. Tucking in your shirt at a private club is common, but not liking your AE logo is just ludicrous.
This is the shit people hate on golf for and they are right
“Excuse me sir, your look is a class or so too low for our club. Also, your Camry is parked in the wrong lot, cars of the lower class are only allowed park in the employee lot by the maintenance shed.”
An HOA of a golf course.
This is Home Owners Association levels of bullshit.
What a dumbass thing to be concerned with. I get it if a guy shows up in a McDavid jersey or something (he plays hockey, for the non-fans).. but come on. An American eagle polo? Give your snobby-ass head a shake.
It’s a rule I’ve seen at a private club, they also would lecture you if you put your shoes on in the parking lot. Unfortunately that’s the cost of doing business with an upscale CC.
For a *public* course to complain about a logo on your polo is ridiculous, especially when it’s such an unobtrusive one.
“Excuse me sir, I received this at my home course after getting an eagle on 4…”
Wayne Gretzky played at some event here in Ottawa and they made him buy longer socks because he was showing too much knee
Some clubs and courses are just so elitist. I was told once when I was literally wearing all golf moisture wicking attire that I needed a belt. I did not need a belt, my shorts were fine as is.
Sounds like he was trying to guilt you into buying a shirt from the pro shop? What a piece of shit.
Name that course.
Absurd unless the golf course thinks that it’s an Abercrombie store circa 2004
JFC I am THAT GUY when it comes to dress code, decorum, old school golf rules and even I’d say that shirt is totally fine for golf.
Snobs.
Leave a bad review lol.
