Matching the Green Jacket


Matt J

Recommended Posts

I admit, I'm sitting on the west coast waiting for the coverage to fire up, but I have thought of this in years past....

Two Questions:

Does matching your Sunday outfit, while in contention, jinx your chances?

 

Assuming you have the confidence to disregard the first paradox, what do you wear?

 

My Answers:

Maybe.

 

I think I have to go with a pale blue shirt, almost like an oxford cloth color, with a pair of summer weight tan wool trousers. Chocolate lizard skin belt with matching white and brown saddle shoes. Might even wear a white visor so my hair looks good when Fatty McReed holds the sleeves open for me.

 

Indulge me fellas, now I gotta go check and see if the first featured group is streaming yet :)

I think Jack always wore a yellow shirt. If I'm not mistaken (and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong) the players who are sponsored by clothing company's like Nike have their outfits planned out for all four rounds by the company.

Callaway Mavrik Max 10.5°
Callaway XR 16 3 wood
Callaway Mavrik Max 3 thru 5 hybrids
Srixon z565 6 thru PW
48°, 52° & 58° Cleveland CBX wedges
Ping Sigma 2 Kushin C flat stick

All subject to change in the blink of an eye.........and I blink a lot.

Not always. Mostly 68-71 Sundays at tournaments. Got it out again in ‘86. Yellow sweater in ‘72 at Masters, but only 1 yellow shirt win at Augusta.

Oh there was a great article on this. https://www.golfdigest.com/story/masters-2019-i-got-wardrobe-scripted-for-a-major-and-my-head-is-still-spinning The players do have input on what they will bear wearing. In the article he touches on how Jason Day gave up on the Addidas scripting where all of the guys were going to be in one colour and all matching after the first day. That guys will change the wardrobe lineup so it will match a green jacket.

Scientists from the University of Amsterdam say that the color green sustains a good mood within you and your surroundings. “The pleasantness of green comes from its kinship with nature, which causes a feeling of peace and contentment,” says Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute and the author of the book, 'More Alive With Color’.

 

Those who prefer green lead an active, public life, they always live in a good area and they are financially stable.

They are also caring, kind and have a soft heart.

I have also read/heard that our brains retain information at a higher rate when it is written/printed on green paper. Black ink on white paper is the worst combination.

Definitely some guys see wearing green as a jinx.

I remember David Duval wearing a dark green polo carefully selected for the final round by Tommy Hilfiger just for the occasion, but when he lost at the end to O'Meara the next contender in green was years later when Oosthuizen lost to Bubba despite the Albatross on #2.

Danny "One Hit Wonder" Willett is the only guy I can recall winning in green in the last 20 years.

George Archer also wore red.

 

Little known fact - he was illiterate.
