I wear my Titleist hat with my high school's knight logo everywhere. I can't imagine playing a round without it. It's rare to see me without it on.

If its not a Tilley, its crap!

This is me too. I have 2 Tilley hats. The wide brim offers the best protection from the sun, and at Denver's mile high elevation, it's as important as using good sunscreen.

P.S. I didn't respond to the poll because my Tilleys aren't "caps". You didn't allow an option for a real hat.

Always a cap... maybe once in awhile, a visor... but not for the last 4 years, at least.

Problem I'm having is that I tend to find a cap I like, and wear it until... well... until my wife threatens me that if I go out in public with it on, she'll divorce me. (Think Tim Lincecum)

Right now... it's been a white cap with the New York Mets logo. Prior to that, it was a white cap with a Penn State logo. I've been seeking a NICE golf cap... I had one in my hands one day... nice Callaway... then I put it on and it just didn't fit. Haven't found a nice one since then, so... still stickin' with the Mets cap.

I typically wear some form of hat, as long as it fits comfortably and doesn't blow off in the slightest gust of wind. Not a fan of the Tilleys (or anything that looks even remotely like them) but I understand why people wear them - especially people in the Southern Hemisphere - I'm sorry us Northerners have F'd up your half of the planet!!

Southern hemisphere??? Tilley hats were developed by a Canadian. And with the strap system they won't blow off in a hurricane. They were initially invented as a nearly indestructible, windproof hat for sailing. You may not like the look, but it's better than the holes left behind when the doctor excises cancerous tissue. :dohanim: Skin cancer is currently in epidemic proportions. I know at least a dozen peole who have had or are currently being treated for it, including my mother and my wife.

I have tried all three and prefer a visor or cap. No head wear bothers my eyes and doesn't feel right. Plus I like to color coordinate with belt and shoes because if you can't play like the pros at least you can look like them.

UV radiation is worse in the Southern Hemisphere.

That Tilley hats were invented by a Canadian is not news.

I would wear a visor, because they're cooler, but I would rather sweat in a cap since I look like a complete doofus in a visor.

Sunglasses are a must in the summer, too - I don't get the aversion to shades that some golfers have, but that's just me.

My Barma Aussie Cooler just came in today. I think it's kinda awesome. It's going to the course with me tomorrow. I've been wearing it around my house all day to break it in lol

I wear my Mizzy cap and sunglasses in the summer, and go free flowing the rest of the time, all depends on the temperature and cloud cover.

    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
    • Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
