Hi guys, I'm a fan of Imperial visors and recently got a few made with The Sand Trap logo.  I wanted to start this thread to see how many would be interested in a TST hat.  Gotten some interest so far just want to see if it makes sense to put in an order.  Price would be in the $15-20 range, basically covering my cost and shipping.  Post in this thread if you're interested.

Here is a pic of the visors, a few are available, can also post in this thread if you want one, as of right now, only 3 are left.

Going to be ordering two styles, The Sandman and The Prodigy (fitted).  If you want a fitted hat, please let me know what size, options are below.

I'll take a visor. Pm me the details. Will take at least one hat if there is an order.

I like either of those first two. The third one is fitted, which I can only assume would make sizing much more annoying. Plus (and I can't be the only one like this), I always seem to be in-between sizes and I wouldn't want to worry about buyer's remorse ordering one without trying it on. The first two are velcro, which is my favorite of the non-fitted enclosures. I think I would lean towards the first one, "Ellipse", though the only thing that gives me pause is that the eyelets are navy, and don't really fit in with the TST colors (plus, the second one is called "The Sandman"). I think "Ellipse" is my favorite.

In my bag:

I definitely get what you are saying about the worry of getting a fitted hat via an online order.  It is unfortunate that is the case because I prefer fitted hats and like the way they feel/look.

Of the choices available, I like the second one (Sandman)... name is good, I like that the eyelets are white and that it is structured. Too bad the fitted isn't an option... while I understand that there are issues with fitted, I like them best... Oh well. I'll probably get a couple of these as I tend to go through hats in the summer.

I don't really care which style was chosen, but if I had to choose I guess I'd vote for sandman because of the aforementioned non-contrasting eyelets.  Either way, I would order one or two.  I'm assuming that you are only going to order them in white?

I would probably get 2 visors and a hat.

I could never buy a visor, I think that's before my generation :)

I like the first hat you showed. It would look nice with TST logo on it.

Driver: 10.5* callaway Razr Hawk Tour - 350 yards(usually into the wind, it can be windy here. at least 400 with a little wind behind me)

Hybrids: 2 and 3 callaway Hybrid razr tour (312 and 287 respectively)

Irons: 3i-10i callaway forged standard length(278, 263, 250, 235, 221, 213, 201, 190)

Wedges: callaway jaws cc 52* 12 approach, 56* 16 sand, 60* 13 lob (0-185)

Odyssey Black tour #9 putter(5 ft, i'm always at least within 5 feet on my approach shot)

I wonder who on this forum is a PGA tour pro, disguised as a normal player..

I'm too bald for visors.

Would take two hats though.

Unfortunately, I shave my head clean with a Gillette Fusion and have that "Mr. Clean" look. A visor wouldn't work for me, but I do wear fitted hats. If you do decide to give a fitted option, I would gladly take two of each (L/XL) in white and black!

I would defly be interested in one of the hats. If you decide to order, Just PM me with the info.

Bald spot dictates no visor for me.  I like structured hats the most, but would get an unstructured one.

Thanks guys, yes I'll go ahead order some hats.  Probably go with The Sandman style in white.  I think white works best for The Sand Trap logo.  When you order these hats you have to order them in bulk so I'm not sure what the minimum amount they would need for the fitted option, but I'll look into it.

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
