A guy was teeing off just ahead of my wife and I last summer that was fully decked out like Payne Stewart from the shoes to the knickers to the cap. Even had a little matching towel folded in his belt. Probably not that uncommon attire elsewhere but something you don't see around here.

My wife half-jokingly said "you need an outfit like that." I told her the only way I would wear that outfit is if I was really, really good, or a moron, and I'm neither.

In the same category my daughter in law got my wife and I matching golf shirts for Christmas a few years ago that would have been very nice except that embroidered on my shirt was "Number One Golfer" and on my wife's shirt was "Number One Golfer's Sidekick". Not a chance in the world I'm going to ever wear that shirt.

My theory is that if you suck the last thing you want is to draw more attention by the clothes you wear. If you are the best you can wear whatever the hell you want.

I find wearing my Viking helmet with a shotgun strapped to my back intimidates people, especially in the grocery store!

If you really want some extra fear factor you can copy Blackbeard too! Wrap a couple fuses into your beard and set them alight before you start your round. Alternatively, you may have to use a fake Santa beard if you don't have one or burnt yours off previously.

I've found white is a nice color for the final round.. still like the dark yellow idea though. Maybe even a green.

Just found out midnight blue. I think that's my new final round color!

Seriously, how does a "color" of ones clothes intimidate anyone..? Sorry I find this to be really funny..

Colors have a lot of influence without people even knowing. Red shows power and strength.. blue shows calm, etc.. you don't even know it, but your mind does. That's why if you apply for a job interview and throw in a splash of red, it just makes you look more confident. Also why you should wear blue button up shirts to interviews, because it makes you look professional, calm and collected.

Maybe for you and others. The color of someones clothing means NADA to me. And btw, this is nothing new, guys in sales use to dress to impress...lol

Tiger wears red because it means something IN HIS MOM'S CULTURE. To someone from China it might mean government oppression, perhaps. It might remind someone else of their new car, or their wife. Tiger wears red because he thinks it helps HIM, not because he thinks it's going to affect anyone else.

And how many professional jobs have you interviewed for?  You read this tip Cosmo didn't you?

Green. Offer your playing partners a friendly wager of $100 per hole on the first tee box, that may intimidate them a bit. Be prepared to back it up though.

Aside from that, no piece of clothing, regardless of color, is going to intimidate your opponents. Stick your first iron shot from 160 out to within 5 feet, or reach a long par 5 in two early in the round and you may be onto something. That makes you appear to be confident and calm, much moreso than what color shirt you're wearing. This isn't Tiger Woods 2014 on playstation where you get +3 power for buying the right polo.

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.

    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
