I have seen this happen to friends but from the starter and not the course pro. A friend turned up wearing black cords and was told no way by the starter, he had to go in the changing room and take off his pants then use his rain pants to play in.

The same course let me order and pay for food in the clubhouse before some guy comes over and says you can't be in here without a collar. I was wearing a plain t-shirt. I told him I had paid for my food and wasn't leaving, he said fine and walked off.

I believe it's more to do with how people approach the situation. If that pro had come to you in a nicer way you and you father would probably have bought some pants but the fact he was a jerk about it got your back up straight away.

I prefer to wear golf pants and shirts if i'm honest
