The fantastically versatile neck tie...

I've also used them to identify clansmen at airports, members of my club at social events, and recently to enjoy a drink at the Cosmos Club in Washington DC with a total stranger who introduced himself to me on the street because he recognized my Trinity College, Dublin, tie.
Yes, traditionalist that I am, I have to agree with Frank that ties are a great idea.

Indeed!
My grandfather use to keep some pantyhose in his truck because they had so many uses besides covering a ladies legs.

I'm fairly certain Mike is aware of that. I believe his point is that what you wear under your clothes is your business.

Unless you're playing on a wind-swept golf course... Then it's EVERYONE'S business

Just got a return email from a Rules Associate from the USGA who basically says there is NO dress/attire code/rules , etc. in the USGA, as attire is the province of the specific competition organizers or managing club of the competition. They also said that non competitive golf does not fall under their purview other than to assist with rules setting in general for play at the course (OB, hazards, etc...).
Again, Royal Troon has NO written rules in the website for public viewing that state anything about the kilt or about requiring pants, and my round of play was not in any competitive event so would not fall under that non-ruling ruling anyway. Lastly, as Royal Troon is governed by the R&A (the international rules governing body) rather than the USGA (only valid within Mexico, Canada, and the US) I will still await some word from them in that regard. But in general the rules of golf are pretty consistent between the R&A and the USGA with few exceptions.
So. Stirke on on Troon excuses so far. Awaiting the PGA and the R&A to weigh in.
Thanks for your support.

Hiding behind nonexistent or at least non-explicit rules. . .They sound like a pack of Royal Poltroons to me.
Just joined your Facebook group!

How About Scottish Pols
Jeff have you contacted any SNP pols, seems to me this would be an issue that the culture minister would take issue with. Fiona Hyslop is the current minister for culture. http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/MS...slop/index.htm
