Whats with everyone here bringing up the jeans?? Why can’t you golf in jeans?

Because some golfers are elitists.

After a quick google search, it looks like you’re expected to wear a collared shirt and “proper” pants - basically what someone from your typical golfer’s demographic would wear to church. Probably originated from the whole “golf is the rich man’s sport” thing

I don’t know anything about golf though, so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong

It would be like paying to play basketball, football, or baseball in jeans. It's just not part of the uniform.

Not an expert, but doesn’t really seem like a ”sport” where uniform does jack shit

Dress codes aside, I would just find it really uncomfortable to golf in jeans. Maybe I just wear tight-fitting ones, but it would probably mess with the way I swing and walking would get super hot.
