Check out this guy. He's incredibly handsome in his bucket style hat. IMG_3363.thumb.JPG.d16475249d20e6c6093e838acf8da150.JPG

Who is that guy? Looks like a Chicago Public School Graduate. 

In all seriousness, my father in law has suffered from Skin Cancer for 20 years now. Therefore, my wife makes sure I have plenty of sunblock and a nice stock of UA Cool-Black Bucket hats (I have 3 of them. Black, Blue, and Grey) Oddly, they are always called cool black even when they are a different color. I like the bucket hats when I don't feel like globing the sunblock on my ears and neck. 

*Trivia* The most common location for recreational golfers to get skin cancer... = The Calves. ... not the ones that play in Cleveland. 

I'm a fan of the bucket hat. The UA model is comfy and doesn't blow off in the wind.

Mostly, I don't really care what anyone else wears.  The only one that offends my very tolerant fashion tastes is the super-wide brim hat. There is a certain proportionality failure to it that I can't stand. You don't see them very often, but I know a guy.

I agree, that is going a bit too far. It is a very difficult thing to find a 'sun hat' that still keeps one feeling like it's an accepted style. I would imagine if the PGA players started wearing sun hats that it would filter down to the rest of the golf world. Thing is, when you are that young, as most PGA players are, you are more tolerant of the sun and don't concern yourself with the skin cancer issue as much. Usually, skin cancer comes along in older folks.

I've always worn a baseball hat.   This past week a local teacher died of melanoma cancer.   I'm going to take sun protection more careful.

Good point. 

Ancient old dudes like me really don't care too much about their style points. Thus the bucket hat. 

What about this guy?

I had that hat, but I got it to wear at Jimmy Buffett concerts. Fins Up!

GN looks good in that hat, I probably wouldn't though. Just wearing a bucket hat while playing golf really was helpful in keeping the sun out of my eyes that normally sneaks in from the side.

I usually get a new cheap straw hat every spring, but this year I am thinking of an Aussie Chiller.

That's a neat looking hat, but a couple things come to mind. First, that Nike logo looks super-imposed, maybe it isn't. Two, sure, that will keep the sun out of your eyes, but what about the sensitive parts of your face like ears, cheeks, neck, etc? Often times skin cancer is not really a consideration until someone gets it. It's sort of like the idea that "it will never happen to me".

Wide-brimmed hat from my university bookstore (purchased almost two years ago now).  Sometimes I'll wear other forms of wide-brimmed hats but my default is one with my undergrad alma mater logo and colors.  I also have a similar, slightly smaller brim light blue one that I quite like and a black one with my club logo on it.  I also have one with my former employer's logo and such on it, but I do not plan to wear that one again any time soon (keeping it for sentimental reasons). 

Every round I've ever had under 80 was completed while wearing the first-mentioned hat.

    • We do not buy extended warranties. We will use one of our credit cards for the purchase that extends the warranty "x 2". Our thoughts are: a. if the item is a lemon, it will likely break right away and we can attempt to apply the original warranty or credit card extension. b. over the long haul, we will probably save more money by not purchasing the extended warranty and fixing/junking broken items out of our own pocket. The important thing is to keep some records of purchases so one may make a claim under the manufacturer's warranty. I recently sent back some Footjoy shoes for leaking and Footjoy did a reat job of making the claim process work very well. I had the original receipt, warrant info and box. Easy peasy.
