I've never heard of those before. I'm going to have to look into these because the courses here in Colorado are getting way too hot, even in early afternoon.

Thanks for posting these pictures. As I have rounded the corner to age 50, I've become more sensitive to the potential of contracting skin cancer and I have been looking for a hat with a brim around it. While I haven't liked what I've seen in the market place, these hats look a bit better than those I've seen. I'll look them up.

You're right. It's a cool hat. But I prefer one without a logo. Also, Norman's hat is black, a color which absorbs heat, even though it is vented. I prefer a lighter color which reflects heat.

I just posted the first image I found. I know they make a natural color and probably white.

Also the new ones dont have a big colorful Shark logo. I think they are silver or something.

Well, that's good to know. Very eighties. Now, if only those hats will make me look as rugged, tall and handsome as Greg Norman, I'll buy a dozen!

Those became very popular around here for a while after the (now ex-) football coach started wearing them. I still see a few out on the golf courses from time to time.

His was a white/off-white with the school logo on it. Kind of decent:

When I think of a hat, Stetson is the first name that pops into my head. Arguably the finest hats made today.

I've worn them for most of my life, and I even have my great-grandfather's from the 30's (it's weird, but he and I have the same sized head, he passed a couple months before I was born)

http://www.stetsonhat.com/index.php

They offer several golf and outdoor hats now if you're not up for getting in touch with your cowboy roots. I'm leaning toward a new Airway for golfing and around other outside activities (been wearing a ballcap on the golfcourse). I'll keep my beat up old straw hat for work.

In my Sasquatch Tour Bag:

Driver - G10 10.5°: UST Pro Vorce V2 Shaft, Regular flex
Hybrid - G10 21° & 24°: TFC 129H, Stiff flex
Irons - S57 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, PW - Nippon 950GH stiff shaftsWedges - Tour 52°, 60° 56°Putter - 34" TracyBall - Treosoft

Holy sh%t!! Who knew Stetson had a $5,000 cowboy hat? I didnt at least. Ya I guess they do make quality products. Those golf specific hats are nice.

I was in Perdido Key this week with the family. I played golf, ate some seafood ( and some see food ) and did a bit of shopping with my wife. We went into a store in Orange Beach and there, in the center of the store, was a nice display of Tilley Hats. I tried on several and liked the Airflo model the best. There are a variety of models. Most advertise that they float, can tie on, repel rain, block UV rays , won't shrink, and come with some insurance against loss as well as a lifetime guarantee. It is washable. It even comes with an instruction manual ( for those goofy goobers from Bikini Bottom who just do not have sufficient reading material for the bathroom ). I chose the Airflo because the brim was not overly large, yet large enough to provide adequate coverage, and there is a mesh ring just under the top which provides the airflow . I bought it on Friday afternoon, and wore it today after we returned home.

I played eighteen holes this afternoon in it and I must say that it more than met my expectations, which is to say that I forgot, for the most part, that I had it on. The brim did not interfere with my swing ( would that something might improve it, though ). I really did not notice the vent, perhaps because it was so hot and and humid. I removed the hat about three times during the round to mop my face and head. At this moment, it has replaced my baseball type, conventional golf hats.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By StuM ·

      I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership. Miles Russell has a hot start, cools off but finishes with a 68 in first Korn Ferry event Miles Russell, a 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach resident, made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on...

      Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target.

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver.

      Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…

      OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.
