Brave new world.

Golfwear brand Manors thinks the whole game needs an attitude adjustment. Rather than leave it up to the R&A, it's taken matters into its own hands and set up a boot camp for golfers who reckon they hold themselves to a higher standard. To prove themselves worthy, they must pass a series of tests based around etiquette, demeanour, and sportsmanship

For example, one candidate is asked: "What is an appropriate length to ask for a gimme in match play?" He thinks for a moment and says: "A gentleman never asks for a gimme." The committee approves, but it only gets tougher as the cast are taught to shake hands like they mean it, take compliments rather than bat them away, and do the kind of stretches other players neglect.

Credit where credit's due, they survive 'Full Metal Green Jacket' and earn the right to wear the brand's new Club Collection range. If viewers wish to follow suit but need one more push, the narrator says: "If you survive recruitment training, men and women will clamber over one another just to watch you swing." To hell with the old entry requirements, the brand says—be someone others want on the course.
