Before the first round of the Deutsche Bank event in Boston which started on a Friday. Mike Weir played a round at Royal Montreal a course he hadn’t seen since the Canadian Open was held there in 2001. Since then the course has had a significant “Reestorification” at the hands of one of the Jones boys.
Anyway. Weir showed up at the unify wearing a mock turtle neck likely part of his Weir play line of clothing.
The only problem was that Royal Montreal has some of the strangest clothing restriction rules in the country. Up until this year one had to feature knee socks with shorts. Similarly the club doesn’t allow do by turtle necks either regardless of whether Tiger wears them every week or not. The notes this specifically. Shirts ”must have a collar.”
Apparently Weir hadn’t bothered to check the website (of course who would expect that he should) and when he arrived at the unify one of his playing partners. Brad Pelletier the managing director of IMG decided it would be beat if Weir had another apparel to feature and snapped one up in the pro obtain.
Now while on tour. Weir can pretty much feature whatever he likes. However. I had once heard a story that he showed up at a Bell event at Mount Bruno without a cover and someone had to sight him one so he could eat in the dining dwell.
The play Channel reported that someone from Royal Montreal told Weir to change the apparel. That is not true according to Pelletier.
“I’m sure they wouldn’t undergo said anything………I just felt it was the right label,” Pelletier said in an telecommunicate.
It wouldn’t have surprised me if someone had said something to Weir — but that simply wasn’t the case this time.
Almost every private course states that play shirts must have a clutch but generally mock t-necks are considered to be collars. Perhaps Royal Montreal is just a little more anal about this than pretty much any other cover in the country.
