Dont see why not. If you like it and it's comfortable, go for it! On second thought, I may not be much of an authority on fashion since I like to wear purple sweaters.

To the best of my knowledge the Rules do not mention clothing.

What rule do you think may be breached?

Flat billed caps look weird to me, I've yet to see anyone make a flat billed cap look good.

@Rulesman I don't know of any rule that could be broken but I was just checking with you guys to make sure because I don't want to be that one person who everybody is staring at.

Style, to each their own.

But, it drives me nuts to see anyone wearing a hat with the bill to the side or backwards at our club.

They show "No" respect for the tradition of the game, and probably knowledge of dress codes.

Wear whatever you want as long as long as you're not violating a dress code at a private course. If a dress code distinguishes between what kinds of hats men and women can wear, gladly take your business elsewhere.

I wasn't sure what a "flat billed hat" was. When I googled it, all it showed has baseball type caps. I don't recommend them since they don't cover your ears. Ears can get really sunburned. If they like the style, then go for it. I don't care for the look myself. Not the most flattering for a woman, IMO.

To me, flat billed caps have that "thug" look which is very unappealing to me. I like my cap bills to be curved. Call me old school.

Sure it is OK. Women have just as much right to look ridiculous as men. :-P

What drives me nuts is all of these players who wear pants that hang down to their ankles.  It shows a profound disrespect for the REAL DRESS CODE of golf, which is wearing plus fours.  And don't even get me started about the bozos who try to get away with playing without a fully buttoned up dress shirt and tie.  They show "No" respect for the tradition of the game, and probably knowledge of dress codes.

Haha. Reminds me of the great Nike commercial last year:

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
