Pretty long rant and story incoming so read at your own risk.
I do find it odd that me walking around with my barefeet on the course was not okay because of toxic fertilizer but everyone is free to touch their golf ball drenched in fertilizer. I do suspect the toxic fertilizer part to be made up.
After that, some random dude comes to me and gives me shit about no one else playing golf barefoot (yeah, me actually!) and blahblahblah there is a dress code for golf and stuff. Also note here that this golf club is known to be pretty loose about its dress code allowing people to play in jeans.
I was so frustrated I couldn't hit a ball for the whole game.
I have every intention of following this up with the manager. If I can't play golf barefoot, I just won't play golf. I won't go back to shoes for that. It will save me some money and keep me healthy.
Sorry for the rant and the bad translation, but I really had to take it out of me.
I'm interested to know if anyone thinks there may be a gender bias in accepting barefootedness. Of course it depends on the environment, but people are accustomed to seeing a woman remove her heels for comfort.
AMAZING thank you so much for this information! That might help my case!
Anything else I should add?
There is no initial agreement. I didn't pay for it. My friend did. But he told me he didn't sign anything.A membership refund if shoes were not explicitly stated as required in the initial agreement.
I intend to reply that I am willing to sign a waiver if this can appease management and the insurance company.
I fully understand that they have fulfilled their responsibilities and that no waiver is necessary. I don't like the idea either but businesses and insurance companies are so afraid of lawsuits it's not even funny anymore.I realize that sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do, but as least make sure you are fully aware of exactly what it is that you are doing.

I mean, I'll try to get what I want without it. I'm also wondering if I could use a liability waiver that specifically states barefoot related injury or something like this.

Maybe BF-friendly establishments could put up a BRS Stomp of Approval decal?
