DeChambeau & the Hat  

24 members have voted

  1. 1. On a scale of one (1) to ten (10), how do you feel about DeChambeau and the hat.

    • 1 - It doesn't bother me. If it bothers you, you're just a jealous 18 handicapper.
      11
    • 4 - Who am I to judge? The guy is on a roll and golf needs more personality.
      11
    • 7 - Not going to lie, it is a bit irritating, and I know all I need to know about DeChambeau from that hat.
      3
    • 10 - I'd rather watch a Caitlyn Jenner documentary on re-run than see Dechambeau's hat one more GD time.

Maybe it's just me, but I watched DeChambeau at the NCAA championships and found myself constantly annoyed by him. Now he's resurfacing. I'm sure 90% of it was the hat. Maybe his swing. I'd be curious to get peoples feedback on the like-ability of this guy...

well the family names sound of a francophone origin so the beret is appropriate and probably a personal touch.

 

it could be a US navy seal thing though :)

I like that he's brainy and contrarian, but he's not on tour yet. Judging by his quotes in a recent press conference, which I haven't seen, so disclaimer, he shouldn't get ahead of himself, despite how bright his future looks. Don't have an opinion on his personality, but rooting for him mainly because of his swing.

I don't get it, is there a swastika on the back of the hat or something?  ;-)

You've gotta admit, it's pretty much a douche-bag hat. Only other professional golfer who wore one in the modern era was Payne Stewart, by most accounts a grade A douche-bag.

To be honest, I'm going to be somewhere between a 7 and a 10...That hat screams douchery. It bothers me because I'm a shallow and hateful man.

BTW I saw a guy at the FREAKING GYM the other day wearing a hat like that.

Pro golfers don't wear them because you can't put a big logo on the front to pay the bills.(pun intended)

Personally, I am not big on style affectations like the 'old school' hat, Rickie's 'hip' trucker hat, Patrick Reed's Tiger imitation, or Payne Stewart's plus knickerbockers.

What they wear doesn't distracts me from the quality of their golf or make me dislike them, though.

 

@colin007 re. the hat at the gym. Give a guy a break, I'm very self-conscious about my bald spot. Kudos for 'owning' your shallow hatefulness. :-P

He's only a physics major. They teach physics in high school! :-)

It doesn't bother me. The guys who don't wear hats because they still have all their hair bother me! :-D

OK, I got off topic. Hat doesn't bother me, just like Fowler's shoes don't.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
