I don't mind the tradition depending on geography and season.
Since David was back in '84', the same year we were playing Junior (under 18) Pennant at a Sydney club with pretensions of being a little part of England, hence they had instituted a jacket/tie rule.
After the match, you stay for lunch, whilst the kids from the home club all had blazers, my mob was kitted out in oversize suit jackets from relatives and a variety of ties from the 70s that were at best questionable. The powers that be at the club must have deemed us unworthy of using the dining room and shoved us out on a balcony.
Was a "great" Sydney summers day, 40 plus degrees and humidity in the 90s, after 4 hours on the course one of my team mates had a small faint and the we were all ushered out with no lunch.
Any time there is an opportunity to run the club in question down, I'm not proud but I do it anyway.
- been to Cal Club twice, long pants, no jacket.
