Nathan Followill, Kings of Leon drummer, has said to a Sydney “bucketlist” course that their “no tattoo policy” is “a hell of way to grow the game.”

Officials asked the 43-year old to follow the dress code before he entered the course. This meant that he had to cover up all his tattoos. He wasn’t happy with it.
Followill vented on Twitter, claiming that the “bucket-list golf course just went onto the f**k list” and that it was more: “Welcome back to the 1950s and what a great way to grow the game.”
Just in time for the fucking it list, a Sydney golf course on my bucket list was added to my fuck list. Due to a “no-tattoo policy”, I was told that I would need to cover my tattoos. Welcome to the 1950s, and how the game can grow.

Followill continued to speak for a while and invited them to a Kings of Leon concert under one condition.
They will be invited to our show, but they will need to show me a new tattoo in order to gain entry.

Comedy aside, it is generally believed that such rules are outdated and do not serve the sport well.
All summarized in one tweet by @KazLunn
It is time to get rid of the outdated rules some clubs insist on using. This is absurd and it’s not going to change the perception of golf in Australia.
