I don't get when people are so offended by buttoning the top button. Is it because some people think that's the proper way and you are being a rebel because you refuse to button all the way to the top like your mommy made you do? Some people actually pull off the buttoned up look quite well, I'd say, and conversely look a little awkward with an open collar. Different strokes, I guess. Pun intended.
I'm not offended by it. I just think it looks stupid.
it all has to do with the placement of the 2nd button. if that is off, the whole shirt just is out of whack.
Wasn't that from the first episode of Seinfeld?

The tiny jail on Catalina Island is hardly Alcatraz. Just ask Frank Carrillo.
The pro golfer turned jewel thief couldn't believe his luck when he was moved out of his bleak Men's Central Jail cell in downtown L.A. and allowed to do his time on the sunny tourist isle.
But things got even cushier when he met a Los Angeles County sheriff's captain interested in shaving a few strokes off his golf game.
Carrillo said Capt. Jeff Donahue escorted him in a patrol Jeep to a hilltop golf course last summer. There, dressed in his yellow inmate jumpsuit, Carrillo said, he gave the captain pointers on how to improve his swing and reduce a double-digit handicap.
Word of the free lesson, however, ended up being costly for Donahue, who is under investigation for an inappropriate relationship with an inmate. The allegations were detailed in a complaint by one of Donahue's subordinates.
Carrillo, who compared his time in jail for multiple felonies to "hitting the lotto," thought Donahue should be emulated, not investigated.
"He was amazing to me," said Carrillo, who believes the captain benefited from his lesson.
"He kind of has this swing that's old school and risky, but he hits it every time," Carrillo said in a phone interview. "I would probably say he's a 14 or 15 handicap. Not too bad."
Donahue, now on medical leave, headed up the sheriff's Avalon force, which polices Catalina and San Clemente islands and the ocean waters separating them from the mainland. The sheriff's station in Avalon has its own lockup and trusties — well-behaving inmates who get a little extra leeway in exchange for taking care of chores at the site.
Carrillo ended up as a trusty at the island jail after making headlines for stealing a World Series championship ring from a former Dodger at a charity golf event. He eventually pleaded guilty to charges related to a string of golf course thefts involving cash, Rolex watches and other jewelry valued in the tens of thousands of dollars. He was sentenced to two years and has since been released.
The way Carrillo, 41, tells it, his charm, otherwise clean record and good behavior earned him the transfer to Catalina. "It was like camp," he recalled.
Carrillo said word of his history as a pro golfer in Canada quickly got around among station deputies. After developing a rapport with Donahue, he said, he broached the idea of leaving the station with the captain to play some golf.
"I knew it was a crazy thing to say," Carrillo recalled. "But the first thing he said was, 'Maybe I need a few pointers.' "
A deputy at the station who filed the claim complaining about the incident said Carrillo was allowed to change into slacks and a polo shirt for the outing. Carrillo recalled staying dressed in his "county yellows" when the two took the short drive to the course, where they hit balls. "They don't really have a driving range. It's a net," he said.
Shortly after the lesson, Carrillo said, Donahue took a golfing trip to Palm Springs. When he returned, he said, the captain raved about how much his swing had improved.
Sheriff's officials are strictly forbidden from fraternizing with inmates. Excursions off site are rarely granted and require special security clearances when they are.
Deputy William Cordero, who filed the claim, said Donahue documented in the jail log that Carrillo never left the station.
The allegations caused a rift at the station, Cordero said. Some deputies had no problem with their boss' actions, but some thought his conduct was illegal, according to the deputy's filing. Cordero said he spoke out about the incident and was harassed by other deputies as a result. He has since been transferred off the island.
In his filing, Cordero also alleges that Donahue told him the golf outing was subsequently cleared by Sheriff Lee Baca, who was on the island in July for a charity event. Carrillo confirmed that account, saying Baca knew him from charity golf tournaments in the past and spoke to him during a tour of the station. The outing came up, Carrillo said, and Baca seemed to approve, characterizing the excursion as "rec time."
Baca's spokesman Steve Whitmore denied Carrillo's recollection.
"They may have said hello, a conversation may have occurred, but Baca never condoned this guy going out and playing golf," Whitmore said. "He would never do that. He would never condone taking a trusty out and having them go play golf."
pracitce round isn't too bad but if this had been badges...
Dog eats tickets to Masters golf tournament
SEATTLE (AP) -- Russ Berkman's dream came true when he won a lottery for four passes to Wednesday's practice round at the Masters golf tournament in Georgia. But the Seattle-area resident's stomach turned when he found his dog, Sierra, had eaten them.
Berkman told KJR radio on Tuesday he was determined to go. His girlfriend told him he had to make Sierra puke.
He induced vomiting and recovered a gooey glob. Then he went to work trying to put about 20 vomit-covered pieces back together.
He says he recovered about 70 percent of the tickets. He took photos and explained the situation to the Augusta National Golf Club as "my dog ate my Masters tickets!"
They reprinted Berkman's tickets and had them waiting for him in Georgia.
can the golfers in this thread explain the rigorous adherance to attire and all that, that most courses have as rules. Ive always felt, and with good reason, the country clubs are racist and sexist and their dress code seems a little much. Why not welcome people to play golf in whatever they want to play in? Enforce all the other rules and regluations of the course, but really banning a band t-shirt or shorts?
Same with the refusal of the country clubs specifically Augusta to not allow women to join. And the excuse given that its a private company so they can make up their own rules. No other organization or buisness in America could get away with this. If you started up your own computer company, and owned it privately, you couldnt ban women from applying or working there. Nor could you ban women from being customers at the computer company store. What would they expect to happen if women joined the country club? Seems to me its an old boys club just like other insitutions likes the military and politics. Its kind of like the fear of women in religion, or the fear of women becoming priests or rather preistesses.
certainly tiger's promience and success in golf opened the door to alot of folks, but I still think by and large golf is still elitist, sexist, racist, and
Id like to see golf open to all people, of all genders and colors, but also have the game be affordable. I have a friend who works at a pretty prestigious golf course in newport beach. i forget if its pelican hill or if it was someplace else, but i remember the dues were absurdly high.

Answers are simple for you......
Golf is open to all people, of all genders and colors. Golf is VERY affordable. Go play a city, public course you can wear all the PJ shirts and shorts you want. Golf at a nice course is a respectable game and you should dress accordingly.
Augusta is a "club", even if they say a company. You don't just walk up and say you'd like to join. They have to invite you to join. When you bought your Apple computer, I doubt you walked up to them and said excuse me do I meet the criteria to buy your shit? You had the money, so you bought it. It don't work that way for "clubs".
Golf is a classy game....but EVERYONE can play at some level.
