I wear the old school buckle high crown GOLF visors. I am proud to be a golfer and happy to rock a piece of clothing that only a golfer would wear. Plus they block more sun than regular caps and allow for more ventilation, obviously. But they are iconic to golf, and I will do anything that identifies me as a golfer.

No way,  there is no better headwear than a tour high crown visor!  I love the Hossler, Phil, Bubba visors! I have Bubba hair so if I wear a Luke Donald visor my hair looks like a mushroom!  Tour visors are the only way to go!

Depends if you where a Phil/Bubba visor or Luke Donald type visor

Phil/Bubba visor= Cool

Luke visor= feminine
I think it's the other way around.

Phil/Bubba/Beau ? = Feminine

Luke = Cool

IMO

That's all I wear!! When the temp dips down into the 40's is when the hat comes out and low 40's I sport my FJ ear warmers.

+1....visors only unless it is 50* or cooler.....They are not "feminine"...But if some people think they are, thats ok....They work for me....

Depends on the person man, I would look like an idiot in a visor because I have a small head.

Exactly, the smaller ones are quite feminine.

Buy one that says "I like boobs" or something and see if they think it still looks feminine.

Hilarious!

I love visors...but maybe I'm not that cool. :beach: However if your wife is that woman in your avatar I would do whatever she wished. :good:

THIS!

I have a few visors.  I've got my Scotty visor and my TM Seahawks visor.  I'm mostly a ballcap guy, but on some days it's just too hot to wear a ball cap.  It really depends on your style and your look.  Visors work for some, but not for all.  The Luke Donald visor works for some, and the Bubba/Phil visor works for others... You alos ahve people that could rock either or neither.

Take your visor, put it on, stand in front of a mirror.  IF you think you look like a tool... burn it.  If you think you look like the man... rock it.  If you find that you just don't care... do what you want!

When I had a head full of nappy hair I use to love to rock a visor. But now I keep my head buzzed because of the growing bald spot on top of my head. Now it's bucket and flat brim hats. I guess I could always get one of those visors with the built in wig to relive the glory days.

I guess it depends on who is wearing them.  Not good for bald guys, but certainly great for me!

Different strokes for different folks, but i don't like the look of them...

Beau Hossler looked stupid at the U.S. Open, he played like a beast though

Visors are lame.  Not many can pull it off, and if they do, it's still lame.

I always thought they looked a bit feminine and they remind me of the 80's.

Better than a headband or bandana though...

Visors are rad, but only the old school high crown ones.  Like this: http://www.campusret...-usa-tour-visor 'Merica.

Love the old school visors. I've found the Titleist and Bridgestone ones the best.  Forget the low profile visors....
Also go with the white ones as they match everything.

Few of us really give much of a damn about what some kid thinks is "cool" or "uncool":   Probably the same types that would rather wear those ridiculous looking "Ricky Fowler" hats.   I'll take the visor look over that anytime.

We should all just wear whatever headgear makes us comfortable to enjoy the game..  These types of threads are a bit silly!

The low crown visors are all that I wear.  I like the high crown ones but I don't feel like I can pull them off.  I actually wore a cap to the course last summer--I forgot my visor and bought a cap--and a guy in my group did not acknowledge me, as he didn't recognize me in a cap.
