As I’m sure you know, the year’s third professional golf major championship, the (dis)United States Open, is underway at Los Angeles Country Club.

What a great course. Bonus points for being a stones throw from the world’s greatest university.

I was about to submit my application when I learned no shorts are allowed. Some of the other rules are a bit onerous too. Guess I’ll stick with Tumwater Valley GC.

Some of LACC’s rules.

• No shorts while playing golf (tailored pants only).
• Men must wear a sport coat in the clubhouse after 6 pm.
• No changing shoes in the parking lot.
• No clogs or flip-flops.
• No headphones or earbuds.
• No athletic clothes or apparel with slogans.
• No photos or videos of the club on social media.
• Members are responsible for all charges their guests incur.
• No using cash on the property outside of paying the caddies (no tipping).
• Phone calls can only be made from parked cars or the enclosed phone booth in the locker room.
