For anybody that’s hedging on an invite to Garden City GC because of the blazer requirement and all male status I’m happy to fill in if it helps. I think I’ll be able to handle any judgement that comes my way as a result. 
Tim, only thing that would make it better would be to have Pat Mucci show you around! I’m currently boozing in a parking lot at Jones beach waiting for Jimmy Buffet and I’d gladly put on a the blazer and join you.
Kyle, I fix every ball mark and gladly put sand in unfilled divots made by others. The older I get the more I look for good karma. I have no issue with how people dress. I grew up on a muni with a cast of characters. I’ve been a private club member at a second tier type club now for 31 years. Relaxed atmosphere with everyone looking to have fun.The only thing that sets me off is some inconsiderate asshole playing music I can hear 2 fairways over. How someone dresses has no effect on me . I get golf is trying to attract new people to the game. Blaring music means to me you don’t give a F about anyone else. I also will gladly wear whatever is required whereever I get invited. It’s just being respectful.
While I’m on a roll I also think applauding Pine Valley for finally admitting a female member is as dumb as applauding Augusta for having Lee Elder hitting hit an opening tee shot. Little too late for both don’t you think? Mind boggling to me that anyone thought either of the gestures was heart felt. Should have happened long ago. But I respect their right to do as they choose.
Was at a party with a GM of a very high end private club that denied membership to a gay billionaire. Hello it’s 2021. Who cares? In case another Tim reads this, not Martin. I am a republican married to a 100% Italian who never saw an in-law stick his had up someone’s skirt. I’ll laugh at that when I’m heading home over the Cuomo bridge tomorrow. Karma…..
Sorry for the rant.
