Problem at the golf course

[Mattg]

...and, by the way, you might let us all have the adress of the governing body of the course...I'm sure that there might be a few of us who would be happy to sent them an email/snail mail instructing them on the history of the game and our opinions regarding Anti-Scot/Anti-Kilt discrimination.

I would love to send them some mail and let them know what I think

I'm a member of a golf club (in the Netherlands) and I played on several other courses...kilted, never had a problem.
Some think it's weird, but that's not my problem....I'm well dressed and I play the game according the rules...that's it.

Good on ya!

If you think you want to go to the trouble to post the email address of the course or the parks and rec board - I'd be more than happy to help them understand the connection between the kilt and the Scottish game of golf.

Well it all worked out pretty good. The president of my company had a little conversation with the director of the parks and rec department and reminded him how much my company spends every year at their courses. He was extremely apologetic and agreed that the treatment was totally uncalled for and that I am free to go kilted whenever I please. I also have a strange feeling that someone is going to be looking for a new job tomorrow. One good thing is that I think I recruited some more people to the world of kilts.

Congratulations! The best news I read in your post is that your company president went to bat for you wearing a kilt - that's fantastic!

Now... off to the tee and remember to keep your head down and follow through :rolleyes:

I work at a really culturally diverse company. We have a Nigerian engineer who wears a dashiki on a regular basis and our Engineers from India wear their native dress quite often. I still haven't got up the stones to wear my kilt as a daily work outfit mostly because I have to spend a lot of time on construction sites and it would not be practical, but that might change. They all think I'm the crazy Irishman anyway.

"what was that sir? oh I can't? Oh... you have ALWAYS wanted to incur the wrath of a gaggle of kilties? ohhhhhhhhh I SEE!"

I wear tartan and non-tartan kilts golfing all the time. I am always welcomed with open arms at all the courses I have played. Most are excited by someone wearing and playing golf in the traditional fashion. More people engage me in conversation while kilting than if I was in pants. Tell the starter or whomever that you are offended by some of the long baggy shorts that some people are wearing. And as you asked, are there not women wearing skorts and skirts? Ask where the dress code is posted and what does it say? See if there are any old photos around the proshop or clubhouse with men in kilts and point them out to him. Be tactful about it but go on the offensive.

I've not been on the greens kilted...yet. I assure you all that I'll not have a club in my hand 'less I've got a kilt on, being that I've vanquished the few pair of golf-acceptable shorts to the goodwill bin!
