Do you agree with LPGA's stringent dress code policy?

LPGA new dress code policy calls for a ban on leggings & plunging necklines. Is this a step in the right direction?

 

A few days back when we posted this question on our Twitter feed and asked our readers to chip in and share their thoughts, little did we know that we would invite some interesting numbers.

 

While we thought the outcome of the poll would be evenly split, 80% voted to state loud and clear that they think that the move is highly unfair. Only 20% of them voted to say that the step was needed.

 

LPGA twiiter

 

 

For the uninitiated, Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) recently stirred the hornet's nest by issuing new guidelines that ban plunging necklines, racerbacks without a mock or regular collar, joggers and leggings - unless they are worn under a skirt or shorts. Women pro golfers could be fined $1,000 for not following the dress code.

 

So, the verdict from our community is out - The ‌focus should be on the talent and not on how they look.

 

While we asked our readers to comprehensively share their thoughts on this fiercely debated question (or so we thought), some of our active readers fired back some interesting answers.

 

Navjot Kang, an active member of 4moles.com community, says, "To be fair the association can define the dress code - for example collared t-shirts and trousers for men. On the similar lines if dress code for women is collared t-shirt, shorts/skirts then that's it. The association cannot/should not get into details of what colour/how many buttons etc should be there on the outfit. The golfer should have the freedom to choose what to wear as long as no dress code is violated."

 

 

Priyanka, yet another member of our community, shares, "The new dress code policy has taken social media by storm but LPGA officials and some players believe that it is a case of much ado about nothing. However, a lot of players feel that the new rules can hamper the growth of the women's game."

 

We also bring you a lowdown of reactions from other players, as reported by other media sources.

 

Michelle Wie

 

                                                   Michelle Wie called the LPGA dress code policy as unfortunate

 

Michelle Wie, the 2014 US Women's Open champion, did not mince her words when she said, "I plan on totally following them but I think it is a bit unfortunate.

 

Sandra Gal, another LPGA pro, said she agreed with the ban on low-cut tops, but has "never really seen that be an issue." She said she disagreed with the other restrictions. "Our main objective is clear: play good golf," Gal said, according to the Golf Channel. "But part of being a woman, and especially a female-athlete, is looking attractive and sporty and fit, and that's what women's tennis does so well. Why shouldn't we? I've talked to a few other players and, like me, they don't agree with it, either."

 

So, if you wish to get a slice of what the 4moles.com community thinks on hot and interesting issues, stays tuned and watch this space.
