Kilted Golfer DENIED Play at Royal Troon because of the kilt

[Jock Scot]

Ah that's better! All is right with Jock's world now.Yes it was nice to have a chat with you Jeff and you never know, one of these days we will share that wee dram. Have fun.

Is this the case with non-publicly funded clubs as well? In the US you can form a privately held club that allows only men, only women or only people of a particular lineage, though you may be subject to public criticism and protest.

It is the same in the UK and if I am not mistaken the golf club in question is a private club with its own rules. I am a member of a men only social club in the UK. Women are allowed to serve behind the bar but not allowed in the club area even to collect glasses or clean tables.

As far as interpreting the golf club rules are concerned I must agree with the Caddiemaster in this case. If a transvestite golfer (if there are any?) turned up in a dress would he have to be allowed on the course as it is not specificly mentioned in the rules. There has to be some interpretation as not all circumstances can be listed. The club has its rules ..... stupid or not.

Once again, one of the outstanding virtues of living in the USA is being able to play golf ANYWHERE kilted and if you so desire you can hire yourself a topless female caddie at some courses!

Now we're talking; just where are these courses?

Just in case I should take up the game it would be handy to know.

As a troonite and a golfer,I am sincerely sorry to way you were treated on your visit to royal troon golf club,and I do hope they recieve hundreds of complaints about that stupid rule they have.So I do wish you a more enjoyable experience at other golf courses. Best regards Minard Kiltie

Yes...Handy in deed!

Yes...Handy in deed!

I'm out of practice golfing, at least I could come up with a good excuse for not playing well.

As long as I don't tell my wife.... actually, I doubt she would care a whole lot as long as I don't touch.

Someday I hope to move up to head greens keeper

So I said, "Hey Llama! What about something for the effort?"

It had to be said.

I bet the kilt would have been fine at Bushwood, because in Scotland they call it GOWLF.
