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.
    • 4 - Who am I to judge? The guy is on a roll and golf needs more personality.
    • 7 - Not going to lie, it is a bit irritating, and I know all I need to know about DeChambeau from that hat.
    • 10 - I'd rather watch a Caitlyn Jenner documentary on re-run than see Dechambeau's hat one more GD time.

This post was not meant to be taken all that seriously; however, based on the consensus it looks like I need to move on. If DeChambeau, however, continues to pop up on tour events, don't be surprised if you start to see and hear the word 'polarizing' when discussing DeChambeau. Think Patrick Reed. 

Thanks for participating and hit 'em straight this weekend.

I see nothing wrong with the hat, however not helping your flight partners search for a lost ball and simply standing in the fairway waiting is a big no no in my books and shows a real lack of class.

DeChambeau on Saturday when in a flight with McIlroy and Sullivan. Sullivan put a tee shot in bushes down the right and searched for 5 mins before returning to the tee.

McIlroy, the ref and members of the crowd helped search whilst DeChambeau stood in the fairway with his caddie.

He's young.   It's correctable.

He did apologize on Twitter for the mistake.  I would attach the Twitter link but my work computer blocks all forms of social media.

That's good to hear. As calm as he tried to be in pre-round interviews, I can't even imagine how nervous he really was and he came across in all other instances as a nice guy

Awesome hat. In my opinion there are few things worse than a grown up with a baseball cap, looks ridiculous. These hats are very light, cool and comfortable.

I like the hat but it provides little protection from the sun... baseball caps supply a bit more, but when you get older... best hat I could find that looks decent on you, even with a swoosh... don't think Bryson will go for this until he is 50 or signs with Nike.

He claimed he didn't know they were looking for Sullivans ball but given the amount of time that had passed and that Rory was also missing I don't believe him.

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
