What's the most "Look at me" thing you have ever seen while playing golf?

[Effington]

$1,000 poker chip would be interesting, are you sure it was real?

A young man who said he had been playing only 4 months with a “top of the line” PXG complete golf set. Followed by his father playing with the top of the line Honma clubs. Not that I’d have been able to tell the difference between any non top of the line of either club make.

The son confessed that they were carting around 100k USD in clubs?!? Then they walked over to their Maserati sedan, whatever that cost...

We were playing at Santa Anita GC, the municipal course in my home town to boot. WTH?!? Must have missed the opportunity to join the San Gabriel Country Club

When I go to casinos the poker chips that I see and touch are generally a little lower denomination than $1000..... More like $1 or maybe $5 so I couldn't say for sure, but it sure looked real.  

Didn't want to ask if it was real, since I am sure that was what he wanted the way he so dramatically flashed it.

That's a pretty Summer's Eve way to be for sure.  I can't really recall big "look at me" stuff, besides the occasional flashy John Daly pants and I believe if you're going to wear them, you better be pretty dang good.  But the biggest thing that always draws my attention is when someone starts chucking clubs around.

Sometimes, it could be me.  About a couple of months ago, I bought adidas 360 pants in fuchsia.  I often wear it during my rounds.  Many people have commented on the color.  Ladies love the color, as expected.  Even some men have commented on how good the color actually looks.

The last time I wore it, my buddy and I got paired up with a couple.  She said when she noticed the fuchsia colored pants on the range, she was hoping to be paired with "that guy".  Well she got her wish.

Today at the DR I was next to a person hitting PXG clubs, mainly a driver.  His goal, as I saw it, was to hit as many beyond and out of the range as possible. When he did, he would say, "Yes, yes, that's the way it is done". When he did not, he went through histrionics and moaning with profanities as to how bad of a shot he just did, including quite a few false breaking a club over his knee.  What made it even more fun to watch is that he could not hit any other club cleanly at all.

Just another comment on long pants vs shorts, if your in the north east Lyme disease is a very real threat on a course.  Long pants are the best protection.

As long as you wear your socks outside of your pants! Ticks can crawl, man!

The most look at me moment was the guys in the "boom cart" just blasting their tunes all over the place! I wished I had a shotgun in the bag!

I think the next "look at me" thing will be those awful Nike "Nasty" golf shoes.

My Brother in law won £100 on molinari so i'm betting he'll be "rocking" these soon.

They should have made a special pair for the Open that said, "NOUSTIE"!

 My local down under esp. when I play with the older boys in the mid-week Club days it's like going to a farmer convention... browns and tans all round ... I feel like the right poser turning up lime green polo white cap ...

I believe they actually were made special for the Open, representing Car-Nasty.
