Problem at the golf course

**pdcorlis** · 10th August 06, 05:11 PM

If you think you want to go to the trouble to post the email address of the course or the parks and rec board - I'd be more than happy to help them understand the connection between the kilt and the Scottish game of golf.

Well it all worked out pretty good. The president of my company had a little conversation with the director of the parks and rec department and reminded him how much my company spends every year at their courses. He was extremely apologetic and agreed that the treatment was totally uncalled for and that I am free to go kilted whenever I please. I also have a strange feeling that someone is going to be looking for a new job tomorrow. One good thing is that I think I recruited some more people to the world of kilts.

Congratulations! The best news I read in your post is that your company president went to bat for you wearing a kilt - that's fantastic!

Now... off to the tee and remember to keep your head down and follow through :rolleyes:

I work at a really culturally diverse company. We have a Nigerian engineer who wears a dashiki on a regular basis and our Engineers from India wear their native dress quite often. I still haven't got up the stones to wear my kilt as a daily work outfit mostly because I have to spend a lot of time on construction sites and it would not be practical, but that might change. They all think I'm the crazy Irishman anyway.

I'm glad to hear it worked out alright.

Glad to hear all is well.

wow! that's just plain weird in this day and age.....here where I live on Prince Edward Island.....we actually have kilted golf tournaments. where you HAVE to wear a kilt in order to play. We also have a "kilted mile" road race. Those are just two examples of kilted sporting events here that aren't highland games.

There's nothing wrong with that - I come a long line of crazy Irishmen ... and Scots ... and Englishmen ... and there may have a wacky Cornishman or two in there as well.

Good to hear that it worked out, and that your company president stepped up for you. Now get out there and enjoy "a good walk ruined," and do it kilted.

I wish I could get away with wearing a kilt to work. My boss might understand as he has a scottish last name but something about me being on a ladder wireing up som lil old lady's lights and a kilt seems like a bad idea to me.
