Your score may end up in the woods, but your style will always be on the fairway.

At Golf de l'Isle Adam, we attach great importance to proper attire. No T-shirts, beach shorts or flip-flops.

Why all this attention to appearance? Here are 3 simple reasons:

• It's heritage. Golf was born in clubs where elegance was a social norm. This tradition of careful dress has been passed down naturally, shaping the spirit of the game since the 19th century. It's a nod to the history of our sport.

• It's a sporting standard. With the rise of the major competitions in the 1920s and 1930s, one outfit became the benchmark for male and female players the world over: polo shirts with collars, pants or dress shorts. Adopting this code means sharing a common language with golfers from all walks of life.

• It's a mark of respect. You can turn in a disastrous card, search for your ball on every hole or visit every bunker on the course. It happens even to the best. But doing it with the proper attire shows respect for the place, the other players and the game itself.

Your swing may fail you for a day, but your pace never will. That's the spirit of golf.
