Thats true!

But just look at the youngsters, they love the look and buy it up.  Puma likes those people more :-D

I'm definitely not Puma's target demographic... I have taste. :whistle:

If you think taste is wearing a baseball cap on the course because professional golfers have complacently accepted it as standard attire, you're probably right.

I think "taste" is not looking like a human, orange push pop. :-P

I thought the :whistle: guy would indicate that I was joking?

That push pop has more colors than just orange.  Already an improvement.

I care.  

Orange-pop Rickie is the visual equivalent of loud subwoofers in cars or motorcycles you can hear for miles.  care because small children are color-blind for life after following him for 9 holes.

This visual tyranny must end!

Also, in Rickie's defense, he seems to have stopped with the monochromatic orange.  These days, he usually looks a lot more like this:

or this:

on Sundays.  Nothing really wrong with those looks.

Dude sucks.  Puma/Cobra should withdraw their sponsorship. :-P

They just signed up for 5 years of bogeys.

It's the hat.

I want to be really clear about something... even though I think he's pretentious for saying "I am an artist", I won't be happy/satisfied/vindicated/etc. if he doesn't play well.  I won't be happy if he beats golfers I like better but  I won't ever gloat (or even want to gloat) if the he plays badly.

His hat just birded the second hole.

His hat is back to even par on the day.

Way to go hat!

The hat has too much integrity to be bought like that.

He's doing something right given the media attention he's getting. With athletes my interest is solely about watching them perform I don't care if they are likeable or whatever. I have a couple hats like that. Bought them 2 for one after the 2013 US Open when the PGA shop was blowing them out. Have only worn each once. Not very comfortable and they don't work well for sunglasses storage like a ball cap. Really not a good look for me though makes me look old. He's definitely a good fit for Cobra.

    • Wordle 1,047 5/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜🟨🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Mis-read that par putt 🤬
    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
