Recently, while enjoying a post-round drink, I joined my fellow female golfers in playfully teasing a friend for wearing only a V-neck jumper on the course - no polo shirt underneath. If you’re a member of a traditional golf club, you’ll understand why. It looked unusual, but only because we’re so used to seeing both men and women in polo shirts as standard.
After plenty of friendly banter, she headed over to the noticeboard - impossible to miss on the way to the first tee – which has an illustration of a man and a woman outlining the dress code, just to double-check she wasn’t breaking any rules. To be fair, none of us were entirely sure if a solo V-neck jumper was acceptable, but as it turned out, it was. No collar? No problem. As long as it had sleeves, it passed the test.
