New dress code for LPGA players

I shared this article with our awesome Pink Golf Tees facebook fans and I was surprised at the comments. I expected more women to be upset about these changes. If for no other reason then because they didn't think women should be told what they can't wear on the golf course. However, the majority of the comments I received were in favor of these new rules.

"Women's golf apparel has in recent years broken the mold from its traditional looks of knee length shorts and collared shirts. But now the LPGA seems to be taking a step backwards with its new dress code policy which restricts female athletes apparel choices even further. Players received an email marked "Important" from LPGA President Vicki Goetze-Ackerman on July 2 that outlined the new dress code policy and warned they would face a $1,000 fine for any violations."

I don't think that low cut shirts, golf skorts that show too much skin, or leggings as pants have a place on the golf course. Players should be able to wear what makes them feel comfortable but I would think that wearing something extra revealing would make you feel uncomfortable. I'd personally be constantly distracted and tugging down a short skirt instead of focusing on my game.
