What Your Golf Hat Says About You
Because it has to be the only sport where the spectators dress like they’re going to be drafted at any moment, you’ll be seeing more golf hat fashion than ever this week. We couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make a list — and say what everyone else is thinking.
- No hat: You either don’t fear the sun or don’t know how to accessorize.
- Standard dad hat: It’s the most timeless way to hide your bald spot.
- Gaudy trucker hat: You’re probably the jokester of the group. You know that if it’s tacky on purpose, it works.
- The paperboy: You get your golf clothes dry cleaned and enjoy watching Jeopardy to unwind.
- The bucket: You are probably also wearing ultra baggy clothing and have quoted Caddyshack at least once today.
- The flatbill / snapback: You think this makes you look younger, but the Tums container in your glovebox says otherwise.
- The space-for-a-ponytail hat: You mean business and your life is so together that the hat works around you, not the other way around.
- Ye olde straw hat: Do you also churn your own butter?
- The visor: You either got it for free at a networking event three years ago or you paid $69.99 for a Pantone color that matches your golf bag.
- The wildcard: The cowboy, the Abe Lincoln, the fedora, the Davy Crockett, the beer hat — you don’t need rules, you make your own. There’s also a chance you’ve been kicked off a course at least once.
