I will preface this article by saying I am a golf traditionalist at heart and agree/understand why golf courses have dress codes. Also, it is important to note that anyone who knows me would say my fashion sense and knowledge of pop culture is weak to say the least. Nontheless, I write this article as a reaction to multiple stories and first hand experiences seeing young people turned away at the golf course because “they didn’t look right."
