Hats
What Do You Wear As A Golf Hat?
The culture of golf demands that it should have a generous selection. True enough, there are a whole slew of them to choose from. Golf has see bucket hats, sports caps, visors, safaris, straw hats, tennis hats, face savers, ivy caps, all of them are top notch choices –as long as one requirement is fulfilled – you look good on them.
And it’s hard not to look good, with the range of available choices. Most popular styles are golf caps that carry brand names of golf manufacturers. Another common style of golf hats is the bucket hat. Have you got a list of good golf hats? Here are mine:
Golf Sports Cap
Being the most common, there are over thousands of golf cap designs. A good number of them are support, publicity, or promotion types, such that they carry brand names, logos, company names or names of pro golf personalities.
I have seen a number of Nike golf hats, golf caps to be specific. Because they don’t specifically hint at the sport of golf, most Nike caps can be very well used by other sport. Tennis players, baseball players, hockey, and race drivers; a good number of them use the same Nike golf caps. The good thing about Nike golf caps or just about any sport caps in general, is that they can fit to just any game or situation. Even for casual wear. The same goes with other sports equipment manufacturer. Adidas caps, Puma caps, and Fila caps can be used as golf hats.
Golf specific brand names like Callaway and Titleist often invoke the sport of golf more than say Nike or adidas, whom the two latter examples could mean another sport besides golf. Callaway golf hats, Titleist golf hats, MaxFli Noodle golf hats, Taylor Made golf hats, Pinnacle Golf hats and Adams golf hats are more identified as a golf sport equipment and of course may feel awkward if worn on a different sport. Still, such things aren’t really unheard of.
Golf caps that publicize pro golf players are also not unheard of. Of the most common are Ben Hogan caps. For those that do not know, Ben Hogan was an American golfer many claim to be the greatest golf player in the history of golf. Ben Hogan greatest influence to the game is his golf swing prowess whom many say is the finest golf has ever seen. Testament that his renown still lives on is his popular line of products carrying his name.
There are also golf hats from other names: Greg Norman golf hats, Payne Stewart, Sam Snead, Chi Chi Rodriguez and Bobby Jones golf hats, and yes, even Tiger Woods golf hats.
Visors became an offshoot choice to golfers playing on an especially hot day. Especially on the tropics, pro golfers that usually use golf caps are often seen switching to visors on hot days to make their heads cooler.
Bucket Golf Hats And Other Sun Protective Golf Hats
There has been an increased in attention of bucket hats to younger generation of golfers. That is because of the resurgence in its popularity on media. Like for instance its popularity in the music culture of hip hop and alternative rock, particularly LL Cool J for the former and Reni from The Stone Roses for the latter. Aside from that, a bucket hat, especially those that are made of soft cotton fabrics such as canvas or denims can be pleasingly comfortable, not to mention it throws around a nice shade.
In the PGA Tour, golf caps are almost exclusively used, and onto a lesser extent visors. If you are playing golf –on any level that doesn’t mean you also have to wear golf caps. I personally would choose any golf bucket hats than visors or caps any day.
