About the author
I'm BTG
I learned to play golf the way it was meant to be learned: on the course, from my father, at private clubs where the traditions of the game were still taken seriously.
No YouTube tutorials. No Instagram swing tips. Just golf as it's been played for generations — with proper etiquette, proper attire, and proper respect for the game.
The Tuxedo Collective exists because that knowledge is disappearing. The unwritten rules of private club golf aren't written down anywhere. Until now.
