There was a scene in Caddy Shack about Golf hats that had me rolling. Al Czervik, played by Rodney Dangerfield, walks into the pro shop with his Chinese friend, Wang, who was busily snapping pictures. Al picks up this terrible hat off the shelf and says, "What, you buy a hat like this you get a free bowl of soup?" He then turns and sees Judge Smails, played to perfection by Ted Knight, wearing the exact same hat and adds, "...but it looks good on you." If you haven't seen it since high school, I recommend you NetFlix it - it is as funny today as the first time I saw it. But I digress - let's talk golf hats, shall we?
From the Hack
Well, it is time to admit it. I am bald. No longer am I "going" bald, or "losing my hair." I have, in fact, lost it. So while you young bucks and folically endowed golfers out there may be able to use your brown and blond locks to shield your head, my dome needs protecting! Let me tell you, there is nothing worse than sunburned scalp flaking off into your keyboard on Monday morning after 18 holes under the sun, with no hat. You HAVE to wear one. So, lest you become another Judge Smails, get something that doesn't make you look like an idiot. I mean, worn out glove aside, if you saw me in the pro shop buying my sleeve of Pro V1x's, you might well mistake me for my esteemed partner, Scratch. It's all in the hat.
I opt for the single color - black - Titleist. My taste is for the simple Titleist logo across the top. I sometimes clip a divot tool to the brim of my Ping hat - it adds to my coolness factor and make people think I'm better than I am. Beside, chicks dig it.
From Scratch
My golf hats are treated like any other piece of equipment. I have many. They are arranged in my "golf room" in my basement, hanging on peg board hooks, arranged by color, brand and age.
Sure I have favorites, and those get into rotation more than others. But I try to get them all in from time to time. I tend to cull out the low performing hats (those I like least) at the end of each season, to be replaced by new ones as I buy them.
I'm not so much into the college team thing, but being from Charlottesville, I have a couple UVA caps in my don rotation. I also have a couple other college golf hats that I've picked up over the years.
In all seriousness I wear a hat because, duh, it keeps the sun and sweat out of my eyes. It also tends to keep gnats out of your face. Common sense here guys, find a good hat that fits well and doesn't male you look like a fool and wear it.
I've become a bit of a "visor" snob this year. Since I'm not going bald yet I have no worries about the dome becoming too scalded. The fact is, my head simply stays cooler with visors. Titleist black is the one that stays in my car. On that, I agree with the Hack...
