I am the other way around, I think its kinda lame to wear a "titleist" or "Taylormade" type hats, when I see that I think "oh look at this tool he thinks hes a pro or something." When I see a guy with a Yankees, or Knicks, or MICHIGAN (Go blue) cap, I think, okay this guy is a so and so fan. My michigan cap is my FAVORITE cap, ive had it for years, and there are sweat stains on the bill to prove it lol.

I agree. GO GATORS! I have one of those hats too.

i usually wear one of my high school baseball hats. it is black with a big T on it. it gets a little hot sometimes but it fits well. i also have a hat with nothing on it that i bought at walgreens for 99 cents, pretty nice hat. and once it get towards late summer and i start thinking about deer hunting season ill break out the realtree camo hat. that orange camo cleveland hat somebody put up on here was sweet. oh and sometimes i wear a cubs hat too. theyre my team, but new era hats fit like crap.

I am actively searching for an all white Dodgers hat.

Check out mlb.com- the new Stars & Stripes hats are white with a blue bill. Go Dodgers!

As for the OP- I don't care what anyone wears on their head. Sometimes it's fun to know which team a fellow player is rooting for so you can strike up a conversation to go along with the round of golf- this is especially handy when you play with strangers.

I was having a conversation with a friend regarding the use of sport team hats (not golf of course) on the course.

No commercial advertising of any kind... not on my head, not on my bag. They don' t pay me, I don't give them a free plug. On the rare occasions that I wear a baseball style cap, it's one of a dozen different US Open logo caps that I get for my USGA membership. Mostly I wear a wide brim Tilley hat.

I usually wear either my Red Sox hat or my Cubs hat (I was a Cubs fan growing up, then adopted the Sox when I lived in Boston for most of a decade... I've never had to choose between teams; not sure who'd win out. I don't see any reason why it matters whether your hat coordinates with your sport (or your outfit for that matter, I don't include headwear in an "outfit," even to the minimal degree that I think about any part of the outfit).

I've just placed an order for a pair of tams in the official Nova Scotia tartan, though. Sort of a souvenir from a trip last week to visit family there (the shop was closed while I was there or I'd have brought it back with me). Going to give one to my friend who's coming to town to go up and watch the US Open and make him wear it for the golf we play. Nothing like looking like a fool on the course! Plus, maybe we can get on TV as a couple of nuts in Scottish hats during the US Open!

I've got an all blue Brooklyn Dodgers hat. My father went to a few Brooklyn games as a kid, and he just found a couple Brooklyn hats a few years ago. Because it is just a "B" logo, because the Sox make hats in all different colors, and because of where I live, most people think it's a Red Sox hat, but the logo is a touch different. There is a little sort of chunk taken out of the B:

I usually wear the hat from my favorite course. I feel like I look goofy in hats, so I don't have too many to choose from. I'd feel awkward wearing Titleist or TaylorMade though as if they were sponsoring me when I shoot my 110.

If you're worried about giving someone a free plug, you could also clear your signature.

As you can also no doubt tell from that same sig, I have no brand loyalty. I have no problem touting what I actually use, but I'm not going to be a walking billboard for any specific brand. Find someone else to take a dig at.

Any thoughts.... Keep it golf related or use whatever?

I think it depends on the course dress code. There are at least two local courses here that state "no logos" on any attire.

Seriously. The best thing about absurd dress codes is that it makes it easy to avoid the sorts of twits who enact them.

[soloredd]

I wear whatever goes with what I'm wearing. I kind of like the non-golf look, I think adds to conversation pieces with people you don't know. I've always had compliments from my Florida Gators hats or driver head cover.

I think when I'm older I'll go full brim straw hat.

What courses are those? I played golf all around New Hampshire and never ran into that problem.

One of them is Portsmouth Country Club. I don't recall the other one but it might have been private.

Edit: At Portsmouth, I was on the range with a Ferrari Racing cap on and was asked to remove it.

North Face caps fit my head so I wear them. Theres no logo on the front, but there's a tiny one on the back. Does that make me a walking billboard too? You've used the term "Tilly Hat" many times. Why not just say "wide brimmed hat"?
