Would you call someone on the golf course wearing a Hogan's flat cap and using a wooden putter a hipster? I don't know what his pants were, but I believe they were skinny jeans. I also don't know what his tee shirt was, but it may have been an ironic graphic tee. It is also unconfirmed whether this individual was drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon or not. He did not smoke a pipe.

Golf has always been somewhat of an eccentric's sport. You don't think about it much these days because it's so mainstream, but in the past it used to have an attire and culture all it's own.

Doing my part to uphold that tradition I wear a big floppy hat that is anything if not goofy. It also provides a decent amount of shade for my mellon, but that's beside the point. I also have a wooden putter (it actually looks like a hybrid now that I think of it) that belonged to my grampa, but I don't use it. It has a nice lie though and you can putt with it just fine, but I keep it hanging on the wall as a keepsake.

I wear a hogan style flat cap, sometimes paired with a tight pair of poweder, blue polyester leisure suit pants.

Not sure I would call that a, "hipster". Some people just prefer the classics and old man caps and wooden clubs fit with that style.
I say to each their own, I could sit here all day and rip on the people who wear cargo shorts and golf sandals on the course, but I dont...

    • Day 169 - Full swings using MirrorVision. Need to film a few for Evolvr to see how things are progressing. 
    • Day 73: Really wiped out today, so just hit 15 balls with 9-3 swings, and then putted around inside. 
    • I tried them out a few years back but chose the Callaway Mavrik Pros. They’re nice as most Mizuno irons are. I used to play MP54’s and really liked them. I had a Mizuno stand  bag and never had any issues with it.🙂
    • Day 184: 6/24/24 Putting practice on a 3’ ruler, 1” wide. Good session and I hope to get back to full swings once tennis elbow improves. Exercises aren’t currently helping.
    • So last weekend was our annual two man best ball (two round net total for flight honors + a cross flight shootout tournament -  Schaubach Cup) tournament. It was a tale of two rounds. On day 1 my partner and bestie Pete (15.5 hcp) totally ham and egged to shoot a tourney best 58 - four shots clear of our next flight competitor team. He shot a career best 79 coming out with 5 straight pars while I fought my driver. I finally found my swing on the 6th hole and birdied three holes on the back side all of which I was stroking to pick up three net eagles. We basically played our our minds. It's amazing when driver/wedge/putter all workout. On the same day.  Day 2, as often happens ended up being a different story. We couldn't get much done with greens drying out to lightning fast (12 stimp) and shot a net 70 to finish 4 shots outside of making it to the playoffs. Good news was our flight leader won winning everyone in our flight $300 each.  In summary, except for the first four of the five holes, I have never driven the ball better and ecstatic that my putter made me a few bombs. Wedge was as good as I can control one in the pesky 55 to 85 yard range. Of course, all of this was day 1. Day 2 wasn't terrible but made no birds and had three three-putts...and my partner played like he had blown his load on Day 1. Heh. Another team shot 59 to beat us by a cumulative 4 shots. Came in 2nd. All in all was a great weekend.
