Michael Jordan Receives Ban From Golf Course For Wearing Cargo Shorts

Michael Jordan maybe the greatest player to every touch an NBA court, but that doesn't exclude him from getting away with wearing cargo shorts.

Jordan showed up at La Gorce Country Club in Miami on Wednesday wearing cargo shorts, which is against the dress code at the facility.

"I've been there many times and no one told me a thing," Jordan said. "Then all of a sudden they come to me on the 11th hole and say I can't wear cargo shorts. Wow! The round is almost over and you want me to buy shorts now? Yeah, right!!"

Apparently no one noticed until he played a few holes of his round, because while on the 12th hole, Jordan was approached by club personnel who asked that he return to the clubhouse and change his pants.

Jordan went on to refuse the club personnel's request and later asked to return to the club.

"No problem!!" Jordan replied.

A spokesman from La Gorce Country Club said its president was on vacation and declined comment at this time. An employee in the pro shop said that required attire is: "a collared shirt and golf shorts or pants, no cargo or denim. If there are pockets on the outside, it's not allowed."
