What about a golf course ? I've never golfed in a kilt, but wondered of all the usual places you might see a man in a kilt, is a golf course one of them ? Pockets are extremely handy for golf, so perhaps simple logistics would make it impractical. Anxious to see what y'all think.....

Errrrr be careful. I am no golfer, so I can’t speak of personal experience, but a well respected American member here on this website, a keen golfer, some time ago, tried to Tee off on one of THE famous golf courses here wearing his kilt. He was asked to change into trousers before taking his first stroke.

Just saying.

Wow...............THAT I did not expect............

Maybe he'll see this and reply. Welcome any additional advice as well.

He hasn’t posted here for many a year, a shame really because he was a very nice chap.

And I believe it was Turnberry, now owned by a certain Donald Trump so I wonder if the dress requirements may have relaxed since then.

Actually, it was Royal Troon. Jeff (ForresterModern) had a thread about his visit somewhere here - found it! - and talked about his experience. Per his profile, he hasn't posted since December 2016, but apparently poked his head in the door December 2024.

Thanks EagleJCS !!

An interesting thread and experience, no doubt. Good to know that Royal Troon is off the list, and most others are OK.

Thank you, John, for posting that correction with the link to the thread and it was enjoyable reading through it. There don’t seem to be threads like that anymore.
