This is obviously a fake picture. 

If this was a real picture, everyone behind them would be holding up their phone to either to film or live stream every single second of what happens. Otherwise how else would they keep all 7 of their followers happy? Or for those without followers, they'd at least have to play "Candy Crush" between each shot. So, from that information, I can clearly see this is a fake photo. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Yes, I see that now. Also, someone Photoshopped out the corporate logos too. 

Maybe I should wear a tie when I play.

When I saw the post come up, I immediately thought of posting that picture and just laughed when I saw it. Definitely a different era for sure. Hogan and Palmer had it going on back when smoking was the thing.

In a little internet research it appears the Bob Goalby was the first "sponsored" player. By Amana appliances. 50 dollars a week plus health insurance. Daly still carries on the smoking tradition. I remember there was a guy on the Senior tour that always had a Te-Amo hanging out of his mouth back in the early 2000's.

It was Larry Laoretti I was thinking about. I remember cigars being a thing back then. Along with pleated Dockers and shirt sleeves down to your elbows.

Hogan: "Hey Arnie, it's playing slow today." 
Arnie: "That's cool. Right now I'm in flavor country."

Ugh, smoking is not cool. Yea, this is one of my pet peeves. I despise when people smoke near other people. In general, smoking is just a disgusting habit. I will keep it as that, as to not go off topic. 😛

Probably should have a psychologist on staff.

I would not look "Cool" if I dressed like that for golf.  I would be a sweaty & smelly mess.

I saw him last year at his home course in Martin County. I recognized him as he had an unlit cigar. He was like the unofficial starter just chatting groups up that were teeing off. He couldn't have been a nicer guy.

My grandfather early 1930's. Kansas City, KS champ at age 20, super cool. 2 years later he played in the 1935 US Open at Oakmont.

I'm also glad we've mostly moved past smoking is cool in American culture. But those outfits!!

Might have been something to do with the Great Depression.
