Problem at the golf course

I am not really a golfer, but this sounds like a reason to give the sport a try. Maybe we could get together a kilted golf outing to this course. I would really like to know why the kilt was considered inappropriate dress by the management.

I'm a member of a golf club (in the Netherlands) and I played on several other courses...kilted, never had a problem.
Some think it's weird, but that's not my problem....I'm well dressed and I play the game according the rules...that's it.

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.
