Tiger Woods and President Barack Obama in their dad jeans, Jennifer Aniston rocking cutoffs, and Gisele Bündchen in skinny black leggings have something in common — all of the denim-clad A-listers would run afoul of the fashion police at the oh-so-proper Weston Golf Club.
Cops called after couple dares to wear jeans to denim-free Weston Golf Club
If you wear jeans to this club, you might be met with threats of physical force and removed from the grounds.

— Golf Digest (@GolfDigest) October 6, 2014 It seems that members of the exclusive Boston-area private club, who apparently have yet to turn the calendar to the 21st century, take dress-code violations really, really seriously. So much so that police had to intervene after two guests, apparently wearing the forbidden material that tops the no-nos on the club’s lengthy list of banned couture, attempted to breach the perimeter and join friends for drinks at the club’s watering hole inside the sanctified clubhouse.
(One wonders where Michael Jordan and his verboten cargo shorts would sit on that list.)
As the Boston Globe recounted in hilarious detail on Wednesday, former club president Tom Ferry (who resigned following the incident and subsequent “grand jury”-like inquisition) blocked the couple from entering the holy grounds and, in discharging his duties as gatekeeper, employed salty language heard on every fairway and green but that is likely frowned upon in the clubhouse.
Near fisticuffs ensued, Weston police wasted taxpayer dollars by responding to a 911 call and busting up the verbal tiff, and the couple retreated without their cocktails. An internal investigation uncovered evidence that others in the group the spurned duo was to join were also wearing jeans, and when the dust settled, the club suspended 10 members for daring to don denim.
The Globe reported that after Ferry’s resignation and an all-hands-on-deck membership meeting earlier this month, the club that may hold itself up as a bulwark against the tide of change, but has become just the most recent symbol of rich-people-being-clueless-rich-people, made no changes to its clothing or disciplinary policy.

“The dress code is meant to encourage people to present themselves in ways that engender pride in the club,” spokesperson Karen Schwartzman, with an apparent straight face, explained to the Globe.
Golf clap.
