Which do you wear?

Generally nothing - or a baseball cap if it's windy or raining.

I can't wear a visor - I end up looking like a headband-era John McEnroe with my unruly barnet...
tbowles411
Almost always a ball cap. Kind of thin haired up there, I will occassionally wear a visor...

Outback Panama Straw Hat

Guess I can go ahead and wear this now seeing how I passed the 40 mark

I wear a baseball style and sunscreen 50. Probably should wear a wider brim but don't like that look. I don't like the thought of cutting cancerous lesions off my face and neck either so maybe I should re-evaluate my priorities.

I always wear my trusty Margaritaville Myrtle Beach hat. Can't play without it.

simplemind
Maybe this is a good place to rant about hats. I'd bet I have bought 50 hats in the past 5 years, from an 14 pt. Panama ($150) to $1 gimme's. NONE of them are perfect in a given situation, and I have discarded most to the hat graveyard.

I live in a hot/humid environment, god eliminated the solar screening on the top of my head, so hat's are a requirement most of the time. The only ones I have found acceptable from a comfort standpoint have large open mesh or weave and have a narrower brim so the wind doesn't wreak havoc. Those are hard to find and either have dubious quality or style issues. If anyone can make recommendations, let's hear it! clapping.gif

Classic visor for me. ala Brandt Snedeker.

If I wear a hat it is a baseball style hat but here lately i haven't been wearing one and kind of prefer it.
fratlord
Baseball hat 90% of the time. I will throw on my Mirage visor I got in Vegas last year, love that Mirage logo. I am really into the Trucker style (mesh back) right now. I have been wearing my Masters trucker hat most of the time lately. I always try to find hats with my equipment company logos, but I change so often, it does not make much sense. However, my irons are a mainstay and I am trying to find a decent looking Srixon hat, but having no luck.

my cap of the moment. i buy these in bulk. i learned my lesson on the 2006 model....i only got one and then had to search and search for more. thanks to a friends...i got one more. so now i snatch them up in white and white only and i stash them away. nothing better than a nice crisply white cap.



alb
I always wear a hat (Nike TW) or a visor...
DBake
Mizuno Visor (Stone) 75% of the time and Titleist Trucker Hat (Black/Blue) 25% of the time.



TWshoot67
I wish I could get around 50 of the original NIKE TW hat it was my fav. that and the original Titleist Stop N Drop ProV1 hat. I can never find hats that have long enough bill and deep enough from ear to top of head. These just mentioned fit the best. I should have bought all stock of the TW in NAVY blue
Golfwolf
I am a visor guy, baseball style hats look really bad on my noggin.
seriously_obsessed_duffer
I would love to get a stupid looking hat.
As for right now I opt for a 1934 style Red Sox cap.
ikarcuaso
Usually a baseball-style golf cap. Recently though, I've been rockin' a Ryan Moore Ping ranger cap. I'll go beanie in inclement weather.

I wear a baseball cap in the winter or as long as I have hair. Once it starts to get warm down here, the hair gets shaved and leaves me looking a little odd in a ball cap. The visor comes out then, to help keep the sweat out of my eyes, I will hopefully soon, find me a headband and start bringing it back. I don't like wearing anything, but the MS humidity just makes anyone sweat like crazy.
Pinhy
one of my 3 fitted GATORS baseball caps.

floyd
Baseball cap in the winter and summer to keep my head warm/cool.

I prefer a baseball style hat but i recently switched to a oversize bucket hat for more protection from the sun .... a dermatolgist recently mentioned skin cancer possibility from overexposure skin i wasnt taking any chances
20something
I wear visors because of my big head (not Kenny Perry big but almost). 'One-size-fits-all' baseball caps is an oxymoron. Can't ever find one that fits except the sized Titleist caps.
But even visors are getting to be a pain because they've cut down the size of the brim. Old style large brim visors work best for me.
Apryl DeLancey
I have 2 different Callaway baseball caps that I like to wear but will sometimes sport a visor.
Ryan_Less
A couple painters hats ala ryan moore and camillo for me

Mostly baseball caps and I have a straw fedora i sport from time to time

How about all of the above? If it's raining or really really sunny, I'll wear a bucket hat or Titleist Aussie hat. I need the sun protection given that I practically start getting a sunburn if I stay in a room with a 150 watt light bulb. If it's hot but overcast, I've also got visors, both new style and classic. Normal weather I wear just a regular baseball style hate. Lately it's been the Ping Tech Flex. If it's really cold, I've got a Nike fleece winter hat that I wear, but it usually doesn't last long because I sweat a lot and get too hot with it on.
ugapug
Ping tech flex here.

Yep, same thing....An Aussie hat when the sun is beaming, visors for windy days, caps for the rest. I change them up and wear 1 of about 30 different ball caps, 7 different visors, and 3 different Aussies. I almost never go bareheaded when golfing and almost never wear a hat when I am not golfing, fishing, or doing yard work.
LP28
Baseball-style hat w/ a hockey theme for me. I'm bald so visors are not an option for me but even if I had mop-full of hair on my head I wouldn't wear one b/c I think they look terrible.
mookie
I'm not real particular about brands or types....maybe when (if) I get to single digits I'll bust out a TaylorMade or something like that....

I used to wear visors because caps always made me feel....weird.....restricting my head muscles or something. But because I usually keep my hair very short (and live in Hawaii), I started getting worried about getting sunburnt on the head, so I've gotten used to the caps.

Funny, the last couple of times I played, the sun has been particularly intense. Towards the end of the round, my eyes would start stinging like crazy. My eyes would be blood red...tears just dripping down my eyes....Finally figured out it was the sunscreen-filled sweat dripping into my eyes. I was toying with the idea of wearing a headband under my cap. I'd be like 50 Cent, yo...

I can't think of the last time that I played in anything other than a baseball cap. I rotate out several different OEM's, and my GolfWRX hat.

I'm trying to work up the courage to wear my Ben Hogan style hat:

I need the game to pull it off though...

Titleist1455
I wear a visor (old school style only), baseball hat, bucket hat, nothing...

i wear pretty much anything
obsessedgolfer
This is my hat, I socked up and have 2 of them left.
lasher
Beanie on cold or wet days and nothing on a normal day just my Oakley's if need be
AustinLA
Either a mesh baseball hat, Under Armour makes an awesome one, or a visor.
Chilidog
I mostly wear Titleist polyester tour hats....but, I LOVE the look of the Pukka Argyle hats....trying to get them to switch to polyester.
hoganguy
If you are over 30 and wearing a visor, give it up.
RickKimbrell
Just my hair. smile.gif Rarely ever wear any sort of hat or cap. Has to be very windy, then I will wear a baseball style cap. If raining, have a FJ bucket style rain hat.
phillypete
I'm in the process of converting over to the "tour" visors. The visors with the wide brim, not the ones that look like cut down baseball caps.

I never cared for the baseball style visors, but I think hats are too warm for the summer. I will still rock my wool baseball hats in the winter.

Generally nothing unless the weather is really foul in that case I revert to a (don't laugh blush.gif ) John Lock bespoke Turnberry cap with gortex lining.
It gets worse as well; they match my trousers too....just lately I have been conforming for practice only and wearing a Baseball cap.
