    I note that the Sunday Mail article reports that the rejected golfer is a resident of the town where the golf club is. Could it be that he knew the rule against anklets with a kilt and deliberately dressed inappropriately? Could he have wanted to embarrass the club, or could he simply be an attention-seeker?

    Give him benefit of the doubt. He may not have known that to be kilted means more than just wearing a kilt. He may have appeared on the course in a kilt, but otherwise inappropriately attired in accordance with the club's rules. He didn't know simply because he didn't know. The club apparently accepts kilts on its greens. It was the Daily Mail that created the issue. Perhaps we should be understanding of both the golfer and the course on which he was a guest and have issue with the Daily Mail which failed, as so often it does, to report the news and not seek the sensation.

    I agree. That article is as deep as a puddle.
