( Exclusive )"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Told what she can or cannot wear, the modern Western woman is as likely to ask, “You and whose army?” as to reach for her cell phone to lawyer up to make the point crystal clear in a court of law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2017,\u00a0the LPGA<\/a> (Lady Players Golf Association) got into hot water\u00a0when it introduced a stringent new dress code. Notably, in early 2022, the dress code was seemingly relaxed, although the attitudes that gave rise to it remain to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, in all the new rules, are female golfers required to wear skirts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neither the LGPA nor many standing committees require female golfers to wear skirts. Rather, golfing events and venues have increasingly relied on etiquette. There are some clubs and courses that enforce a pants-for-men and skirts-for-women rule.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Propriety is as powerful a means of enforcing conformity as any. But as with most things, the answer is, “It depends”. So, let’s figure this out in the rest of this article.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Why do female golfers prefer to wear skirts?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The more exclusive and hoity-toity the club, the less tolerant the dress code. For example, clubs like San Francisco, Cypress Point, and Augusta require all female players\u00a0to wear skirts\u00a0to ensure that the length of the skirt reaches below the knees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These clubs will not make an exception for anyone, so forewarned is forearmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main takeaway from the preceding paragraph is that it is up to the female player whether she chooses to wear skirts or not, even at those select clubs, so again, there is no hint that female players cannot tee up unless decorously set in a demure skirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What bottoms do golf courses and clubs allow for female players?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The vast majority of\u00a0golf venues<\/a> and courses will let female players dress in shorts, skirts, skorts, and pants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, anyone\u2013male or female\u2013showing up in jeans will receive short shrift and instant exclusion. Jeans are a massive no-no on the links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LPGA used to state that skirts and skorts must be low enough never to reveal the player’s behind, whether she is standing or bending over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I mentioned above, the removal of this requirement appears to have been replaced by enforcement of etiquette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m guessing, but I believe that strong words passed to the club members or offending players could easily result in a quiet but firm ban for “unbecoming behavior” or some other nebulous and hard-to-fight complaint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, the aggravation is not worth it for most women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rules concerning leggings are another mishmash of extemporized and irregular rules. For example, women may wear leggings with skorts, shorts, or full- or half-pants, but not with skirts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe there’s a good reason for this, but I can’t work it out if there is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do different club sizes feel the same?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not all hand fingers are of the same length, but not every golfer is treated the same. Clubs will allow famous or low-handicap players onto the links wearing outfits that you, with your dreadful slice and atrocious game on the greens, get shown the door for. Unfortunately, that’s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing to remember is that when a professional golf player steps onto a golf course, she goes to her job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part and parcel of the actual game of golf, she may try to attract sponsorship, and one way to do that is to look smoking hot. Irrespective of looks, no one will find her commercially interesting if she doesn’t win tournaments or at least place in the top rank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, the savvy pro female golfer wears attire that must simultaneously not impede her game while looking as eye-catching (within the bounds of decorum) as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
