In the club where I work, you do not have to have the shirt tucked in playing in a golf tournament, but upon entering our clubhouse all gentlemen must be in coats. We do have a few events per year that are casual. Most clubs will have a dress code policy up for display in the golf locker room
Every course may set their own requirements for attire, both on the course and in the clubhouse. In general, the more exclusive or expensive a place, the more stringent and strictly enforced their dress code will be. I would advise you to always call ahead before your first visit to a course to ensure you will be properly attired.
As for why it is recommended you tuck your shirt in, there are probably several reasons. The two most obvious: less material to interfere with your swing and it just looks classier.
at the C.C. I use to play at you had to tuck in your (polo or dress) shirt and no denim was aloud. The reason they make this a rule and recommend it is because it is a classy thing to do and golf is a classy sport. TIP: You want to fallow the rules about dress code at a C.C. because you want to make a good first impression on the people your playing with.
in all honesty it is just the gentlemanly thing to do. It is really as simple as that.
yeah, you are supposed to. out of sight clubhouse. untuck and enjoy.
