    My goal is to play 18 holes with the same ball. Hasn't happened yet...

    Hell, I'd be happy to make it three holes with the same ball.

    It's been a few years now but I remember that one of our members posted that he had been turned away from St. Andrews Golf Course for wearing a kilt.

    From St. Andrews website:

    Dress Code

    Golfers should wear attire appropriate to the sport and clothing should not be scruffy or torn. The dress code in the clubhouses is smart/casual.

    If they don't allow kilts (at this time, it's interesting that they offer a silver kilt pin with St. Andrews logo.

    As I said, it was a few years ago. '08 or '09 perhaps. Things may have changed. Perhaps the overall outfit did stay within the intent of the dress code. As I remember the person was asked to post a photo of his outfit and never responded.

    Given the way that some people look, when they play golf (our area), a kilt would be formal attire. I meant nothing by my post, other that to see what their dress code was. Really, just personal curiosity. Sadly, the few remaining 'old dinner houses' seem to have dropped their dress codes.

    08 and 09 is still quiet recent and in the times when people were supposed to be mire enlightened. Does seem bizarre to turn them away for wearing a kilt...did this get more publicity at the time? What were they wearing with their kilt?
