Kilt Do's and Don'ts

I just noticed there's 2140 posts in this thread. Gotta be a record!

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 have been following this thread for a while now, and I can't recall seeing other xmarkers post don'ts from themselves, is this just my lack of observation skills or are there simply none/few? Cause I guess we could get a good laugh from some of them, and I think it's always a good thing to laugh a little at yourself.

Come on, we know you got some shamefull pictures hidden somewhere on that drive! now share the fun!

There, ah, seems to be some sort of foreign object blocking your left hand. Were you using it to put the fire out?

One wonders how many of the fellows we have regarded and noted the faults in their outfits have since moved on to one's we would admire. My first kilted outfit wasn't so different than many of these gents, but because of X Marks the Scot I have learned and improved:

How ironic this is on page 101. Its like looking in the mirror. Nice job.

You brought up the old posts before I could Dan Porter. I have actually posted a picture of myself in the Kilt Don't thread.

Like I had said before, most of us don't get it right the first time. That being said though. Here are some pictures of don't from the recent Tucson Highland Games on November 1st.

First. DON'T let your kilt hang all the way to the back of your shins. this isn't just a drape that's hanging low. The pleats were this low as well

secondly, "IF" (BIG IF) you're going to wear something underneath your kilt like shorts, please don't let the shorts be longer than the kilt.

3rd. Ok this one isn't a kilt don't BUT it is a DON'T DO THIS EVER, ESPECIALLY at a highland games. I have no freaking clue what this lady thinks she was dressing up as. I have so many negative bad words to say about this, but I'll refrain since this is a family forum.

Enjoy!
