I rock all Puma for my shorts/pants/shirts and usually wear an orange Titleist hat. I play the VeIocity ball.

l get Rickie Fowler comments all the time. It's cool with me since I also went to Oklahoma State. It's usually when I wear something orange, however.

I have a few Adidas shirts that are nice too, but most of the time it's Puma.

Fairway Woods: Callaway Diablo Octane (3,5,7,9)

I don’t care about matching and would actually prefer to wear a hat that has nothing to do with golf. For a while I stuck with Titleist hats because I like the visors with the magnet sown in (was playing Callaway balls at the time). Eventually Callaway came out with the same type of hat so I bought one of those (playing Titleist balls at the time). Just this week I decided I wanted a Flyers (Philly) hat so I bought a ball mark clip for that hat. Unfortunately with the Orange in the color scheme it’s not an every (golf) day hat.

The Puma Tech pants  (orange, green, blue specifically)  are great.....  but not made in my skinny/short size unfortunately.

I'm due for a new Titleist hat.

Yep, I love them. I'll be wearing my orange pants in Breckenridge tommorrow on the course with a navy blue puma shirt. Gotta rep the Broncos.

I have both the "BaldGuy hat for golfers" and the "SweatBandit hat".  These are the single most comfortable, lightest, easiest to wash, non-sweat staining, most breathable hats I have ever owned.


Thanks for the mention.  New styles with a more traditional look and all of the comfort will be available the end of October.

I typically wear either a Titleist hat or a Nike hat and I currently don't use a single item of Titleist gear. Used to play their balls exclusively but now I play TM balls. Oh well, it's almost time to replace my wedges and the Vokeys work well for me so maybe I won't be a poser anymore

Colors are always white or black because I have 2 pair of white AdiPure and 1 pair of black Tour 360's so the shoes match the hat.

i wear a white nike hat that has a mesh back and fits very well. i don't own any nike golf products or nike golf clothes. i would like to get a TM hat, but i didn't like the fit and they don't have fitted hats in the style i want at the stores i go to.

the whole having to match your apparel with your club brands is absolutely ridiculous unless that company is paying you to do so. if not, then who the hell cares? (besides the one guy on here.)

i learned a long time ago that judging people by clothes and, in this conversation clubs, is no way to go through life.

a guy who dresses nice and sucks may just like to dress nice and isn't trying to convince anyone he's good or "posing". i mean what's the point of talking about how good you are or trying to use your clothes to convey your skill in a game where 1-3 people are usually going to watch you actually play? i don't think people honestly think like that when they choose a shirt before going out to play.

I am a fan of fitted mesh hats. I find them comfortable and breathable. So I own a Nike, Titleist, and Callaway hat and I don't own a single Nike or Callaway club. I find the mesh on the Callaway and Nike hats most comfortable.

Same for me, so I have found a couple of hats from Adidas and Mizuno that are made of the high tech materials they use for clothes.  I've found these hats to be much better than the cotton hats of old, they don't show the sweat like the old ones.

I feel slightly like a poser if I'm wearing Callaway Golf wear but playing with Taylormade clubs and Bridgestone balls so I typically wear what brand of stuff I have. I wouldn't go as far as saying "regardless of style" because I always manage to find something I like with the brand name I want on it.

Mostly no-logo hats: A white, Hogan style cap, or a tan, civilianized version of the broad-brimmed military bush hat. I especially like the bush hat to keep the sun off my neck in peak summer heat.

I have a Mizuno toque (knit cap for non-Canadian) but other than that I've never even seen a Mizuno cap or visor worth wearing. Most of the caps at GolfTown right now are so ugly I don't care which logo they have. I wear caps from the team store or snowboard shop. Used to wear North Face ones, but now they're only selling those little shallow runner style ones that I detest.

I have a cap from a scuba liveaboard I like.

Golf fashion is dumb, IMO.  Golf functionality (wind pants, waterproof shoes, or shoes with grips, etc) makes a lot of sense though.

So find me a comfy hat that's keeps rain off my face and has spots for tees, pencil and a ball marker and divot fixer - I'm sold.

My wife bought me three "golf shirts" - she's so proud.  One of them is so shiny and goofy, I just don't have the heart to tell her though.  I'm sure I'll see it's brother sometime on a senior at a private club somewhere - but I hope his hat matches his white belt and shoes.... ; )

And Michael Jordan's cargo shorts

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
