All professionals are required to present a neat appearance in both clothing and personal grooming. You are required at all times to maintain an acceptable standard of dress both on the golf course and in the clubhouse. Every PGA of BC tournament has a mandatory dress code for post-tournament functions, unless waived by the Captain and Host Professional. Penalties for infractions are $100 for the first offence and $200 for the second offence.
