  I am playing at a private club this weekend so I looked on their web site. It says do not change your shoes in the parking lot.

When someone didn't want someone wearing mud shoes around their nice clubhouse.

My board and membership do not have a problem with folks changing shoes in the parking lot.  It's that simple.  If they did, we wouldn't allow it.  We are a "golfers club," and our policies reflect that.

If we had shoe shine employees whose existence needed justification and the only way to do that was by forcing members and guests to change shoes in the locker room... maybe we would have that rule too.

Roger,
I misread your first answer.
You and your board have it right!!!!
Sounds even more like a great place.
I got a bit dismayed at Palmetto when they felt compelled to mention the no shoes in parking lot policy in every newsletter!
seems so irrelevant to me, esp. somewhere as laid back as Palmetto

We are eagerly awaiting your visit, Mr Warner.  And you are welcome not only to put your shoes ON in the parking lot... but to slam them together and send grass and mud all over the Porsches and Mercedes parked next to your hooptie.

May I suggest a home and home?  Me and my supe/pro vs you and your's?

Roger, I think you need a member of the greens committee to tag along.

Jeff, we draw the line at changing your clothes in the parking lot.  You need to at least stay in your car for that.

I always change my shoes in the parking lot... I'm there to play golf and I'm not disturbing anybody doing it...

Like what, somebody will come and say: you're ruining the game and the image of the club by changing your shoes in the parking lot... and then drive away in his golf carts.

Ed,
I typically change clothes at the 7-11 after buying the beer ;)
but don't worry, I patronize the clubhouse bar as well

Weren't there golf shoes and clubhouses before there were parking lots? I presume it started then.

Who needs a parking lot? I put 'em on when I get dressed in the morning and don't pull 'em off until I get home. Life's too short to be changing shoes all day. Next you'll be expecting me to change underwear before Sunday rolls around...

Would your opinion change if you were a guest at a course where your gracious host requested that you kindly change your shoes in the locker room?

Since when was it ever OK?

Seems to be conduct unbecoming a proper gentleman. I'm not sure whats worse, changing your shoes in the parking lot or leaving your cap on in the dining room?  ;)

 I would respect the wishes of my insecure host. ;D
Seriously, I would abide by rules of my host's club, or my own club (even if I do think it's  silly)
Often I do what Brent does as it avoids all the nonsense.

No proper gentleman would judge people in such a manner.

Well,

No proper gentleman would ever call out another gentleman in public forum.   ;D

I abide by the club rules as well, and sometimes enjoy changing shoes in the locker room if time is not at a premium.

I have to chuckle, though, at seemingly bombastic responses which intimate "screw the policies, I think it's dumb and I will do whatever the F I want with my shoes" as I took my quoted post to be.  I suspect that if playing a round at Merion or any other club of stature, and the club policy was that you walk barefooted from car to clubhouse, shower your feet, wait for the locker room attendant to dry them by hand, and tip them generously for doing so, all before shoeing thyself, that each and every one of us would hope that his feet were calloused enough to survive the journey.

If I misunderstood Mr. Binette's intent, then I apologize, but I do not think I have misunderstood.
