For my professional life, I always found that changing out of my work clothes (be that a suit a long time or the smart casual more recently) was part of mentally closing the day and going off duty. Now I'm in jeans and polo shirts 99% of the time so slob in those in the evenings too.

Yes, as soon as I get home from work it's up to the bedroom to change into casual clothes

If I'm walking in as dinner is ready then I don't, but otherwise even in my normal work clothes (rather than a suit which is rare these days) I like to change as soon as I get home. Mostly for the same reason as PG and even when I'm working from home I change out of my work polo shirt when I've finished in front of the computer.

As soon as I got in the front door I'd rush upstairs and get changed into something more comfortable.
I don't mind wearing suits but they have always felt alien when worn at home.
If I went to visit my folks straight from work (which usually involved being fed) I'd take jeans and a t-shirt to get changed into as well.

I've just bought my second hoodie. I'm still coming to terms with my first... ...it's a medium grey and my wife bought it from some fancy French brand that was having a clearance sale and it looked perfectly innocuous, until one day I noticed that, on the back, in an only slightly darker shade of grey it has "Art is Truth" written on it. Right.... |

I have a personal dislike of hoodies probably because all the dangerous looking and acting yoofs wear them.
Now that I go to work in casual clothes, I don't tend to change when I get home unless the wife wants some jobs done around the house!

I don't own a hoodie. Closest I have is a couple of zipped sweatshirt tops, with a very discreet logo.

There's been a few golf pros on Tour wearing hoodies, which has prompted a bit of debate in golfing circles - so I thought I'd get one and start the debate at our club.  |

What's your club's view on golfers wearing jeans? In the clubhouse you can wear pretty much what you want. On the course they try to encourage what could be reasonably construed golf wear - in practice this really boils down to no jeans or football shirts - and even this really just means no denim jeans - five pocket jeans in other colours, materials are OK. If it was down to the Club Manager it would be a free for all but he realises he's trying to balance an ever decreasing number of traditionalists with a new young group of golfers. |

One of the reasons I don't play golf, beyond the obvious one of me not actually liking it, is having to wear certain clothes just to play it.

I managed to spend four years at university in St Andrews without taking up golf, even though my grandfather had been captain of his golf club and my grandmother paid for me to have golf lessons as a small boy. Just didn't interest me and I was never any good at it. I remember trying to tee off on one of lesser courses at St Andrews and the ball just shot off at right angles and thwacked straight into the ball-washer with an almighty clang. Very embarrassing. |

I'm always amazed how many cars park at the side of the 18th on the Old Course. I've walked down there countless times to see broken windscreens and a variety of dents.
I reckon if I actually played that course I'd use a 9 iron off the tee just to give the cars a fighting chance!
I have managed to hit a few houses over the years.......
I always played golf in jeans and a polo shirt. One or two members tried to make the club enforce a more strict policy (there were no vests or football colours allowed which was fine) but it always fell flat on its face.
After all it's a game played for fun (allegedly) so why get too stuffy about what people wear.

T-shirt usually works fine. They know I'm at home, there's no expectation to look 'smart'.
At best a collared polo tee, but that's as far as I go.

Seeing as you can wear pretty much what you want golf is one of the least restrictive sports in what you can wear to play it, compared to say football, tennis, rugby, cricket, cycling, squash, swimming, basketball etc. |

I thought it was no jeans and t shirts without collars?
Riding a bike has no restrictions on what you can or can't wear, beyond having to wear a helmet at certain locations, which is common sense really.

That doesn't seem to be the case when you watch the Tour de France or any mountain biking event. Mrs Sacamano used to work for Fox Racing and their riders used to have allsorts of specialist clothing. The lads that pass me on their Mountain bikes on the trails in the hills all seem pretty well kitted up with team shirts and shorts etc. You can wear whatever you like at driving ranges and pitch and putt but most courses would bar jeans and t shirts. Then again, you can buy a suitable polo shirt and trousers for £15 all in - about what you'd pay for a cycle inner tube. |

I wouldn’t want to wear jeans on the golf course anyway. In the summer it’s a polo shirt and shorts and when it’s colder it’s trousers and that hoodie^ With golf trainers . Proper casual . |

I don't think there's a worldwide list of approved wear for being on a golf course, rather it varies between clubs.
I suspect if you wanted to wear jeans and a t-shirt you'd most likely find yourself more welcome at a club in Scotland than England although there are plenty of stuffy clubs up here too.

From the website of Leicester Golf Centre: Pretty much sums it up for me and seems to be the way most normal courses are going - certainly around the North East anyway. |

Glad to hear it. Quite a few years ago my aunt's brother, a well known local solicitor* had to go before the club committee to see if he was suitable to be allowed to be a member. I never played the course, in Nottinghamshire, but my dad had and reckoned it was mediocre at best. Similarly my Dad and I rocked up at Ganton - near Scarborough I think - to be accosted in the carpark by a plus-4 wearing gent who clearly thought we were the wrong sort (we hadn't arrived in a Jag, Range Rover, etc) and made noises to put us off. *Having thought about it the fact he was a solicitor may have counted against him |
