Is there a certain way everyone pictures a golfer to look all the time?

Question

i dress as i should on the course, polo, slacks, golf shoes, but i listen to punk rock and wear band shirts and jeans w/ converse. every now and again i stop by my local course to hit some balls and look at equipment. every one always looks at me funny. is this noormal?

Answer 1

Ya, It would be like me showing up  to the tennis club wearing a helmet  and shoulder pads. (lol...that would be great) I would play with ya for the experience of it. I would tell my playing partners your the next Rory Sabatini.

Answer 2

Yep, perfectly normal. Just like you would look at someone funny who showed up at a punk rock show wearing golf clothes.

Answer 3

Yes, unfortunately it is...

I play lots-o'-golf also.  Most people at golf courses tend to be s****.......sad but true.  So when you show up in your punk clothing, they automatically judge you.

Two things to remember:

1.  Don't let it bother you, just realize that Yes, there people out in the world that are truly that shallow.

2.  However if the course does have a "dress-code" try to abide by it.

3.  Most times golf courses only tend to have dress codes while actually playing 18.  The driving range is different.

Hope this helps, and good luck with your game!!!!!!!

Answer 4

Most people always want people to look presentable at clubs, even if they're just practicing.  Jeans are usually alright at most clubs, but dont just wear a plain white t - shirt.  Just try to make yourself more presentable and you shouldn't get those looks anymore.

Answer 5

I picture a golfer to look this way:

Maybe they're just curious about you, ask one of the 'lookers' to play nine with you one time....there's no better place to get to know someone than the golf course!
