Golf hats are just the goofiest

[landolakes]

How do people wear these things with a straight face? Feel like I'm auditioning for one those backwoods MTV shows every time I try one on, which I'm incapable of doing without bursting out in laughter.

 

What's MTV?

[jacot23]

I was not cut from the high school baseball team. However, if the coach had made us wear flatbill hats I might have quit.

I'm going to guess the OP is 16 years old.

 

The 1990's version of the OP said to his buddies, "Why do guys still get their hair cut short? If you're not rocking a mullet you look like an idiot."

[littleinjunp]

OP, you're not making any sense it seems to anyone but yourself. Please don't keep trying to prove your point!!!! LOL!

Not quite sure how words like 'y'all' and 'fixin'' will translate, though

Have you ever seen a 16 year old write sentences like the one in the first post? Takes a while to get this good, kids

[littleinjunp]

I just think it's funny that the OP thinks that, though you can bend a flat-bill to you preferred curve, there is absolutely no possible way to decrease the bend in a pre-bent bill to your preferred curve.

 

It works both ways... I do it to every pre-bent hat I buy, and the curve matches perfectly with the 3-4 59fifty baseball hats I have.

 

Lol not without compromising the integrity of the hat it doesn't. If you try to manipulate it the opposite way, the hat looks even goofier than it did originally

[mpfitz85]

Weird thread

[dlygrisse]

I'll take a redneck hat any day over one of those goofy looking flatbill pre-teen hats.

 

BTW, a "golf hat" does not have to mean a baseball hat, which the OP gave as an example. But maybe he is a Blue Jays fan. High School kids should just all get off my lawn, and wear a proper hat. :taunt:

[elbonedeedo]

this has got to be one of the most confusing threads i have read so far...

 

 

wave bye-bye to the peripheral vision

 

Do you tuck your ears in to your ridiculous flat bill hat too, OP?

 

[GeorgeHWB]

Look at this pic of Adam Scott! He looks like a complete tool. Who would wear a hat like that!! Stoooooopid.

 

He might as well put in a huge lipper of Cope and listen to some Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan.

Actually, I think the OP is trolling.

[sheppy335]

OP that is your opinion of hats, so that is great for you. You need to remember we are allowed to wear what ever we want on the course. Me personally think flat brim hats should be all burned, I look stupid in one and wont ever wear it. I also grew up in the day of the big curve hat, love that look. As for looking at someone beside you, turn your heard. that is my opinion and it doesn't make it right or wrong or the consensus only mine.

[jaymay82]

I don't understand what the OP was griping about.

 

Guess I'm not as edjumacated as he/she is.

[Stillboard]

Thanks for the laugh OP

Oh good point. Wasn't thinking this might be a female posting...hmmm, maybe that explains the fashion insecurity.

In the example picture of Adam Scott, yes, the bill of his hat is curved, but he is wearing it properly. The OP's complaint is that it ruins peripheral vision in golf. However, in the photo, you can clearly tell that Adam Scott's peripheral line of sight is not blocked at all with the way he is wearing that hat.

To further shoot down the complaint, a classic training aid in golf is a sheet of paper, similar to blinders, so that the player/pupil has to focus on the golf ball during the swing and contact, rather than look up too quickly - and/or lose focus from objects seen in ther peripheral as a distraction - resulting in topping or 'chili dipping' the ball.

The way teens and young adults wear flat bill hats is what is ridiculous (ie. 2 sizes too big, tuck the ears, and down to the eyebrows).

But yet the OP thinks a curved bill is crazy? Pfft. Whatever.

[Tim Sherwood]

That guy in sean2's post is wearing his hat backwoods.

[wobgon]

wave bye-bye to the peripheral vision

 

Who wants peripheral vision in golf?

I do....If you had none on your left side as is the case with me, being a right handed golfer, you would know how important it is.....By the way, not saying this as a criticism of your post, or to wine about my problem, just throwing it out there.

[Illest]

I think this is the first thread I've ever seen on here where the OP is in favor of flat bills

OK... Your speculation is 100% correct.

 

The fact that I've done this over 2 dozen times, without any problems at all, must mean that I'm just really lucky.

Every time you bend a bill, you're compromising the integrity of your hats. Those are load bearing hats you know.

You've been lurking for damn near 9 months and THIS is the thread that you decide to post in first? LOL. (welcome to the boards)

 

This thread was great for a laugh. I wear all both kinds of hats. I wear flat brim (ok, not totally flat, it's got a little bend in it) and "golf hats". I find that most golf hats don't fit me well because they are low profile and my dome is too big. I generally gravitate towards baseball style/structured hats because of that.

[elbonedeedo]

Oh yeah.... nothing like those flat bills....

 

[BDubya]

Thanks for the welcome.

As far as fit goes, I get it. There are several styles of 'ball caps' I just won't wear. Some low profile hats are so low that they might as well have a propeller on top; while the crown on some New Era caps are so tall that they just look awkward.

I just never understood the flat bill concept. A couple of my teen boys wear them, and I just don't get it.

As for me, I'll keep bending mine til they look just right. I'm still able to see, it blocks the sun, and allows the rain to properly run off. Everything a hat should do during golf or baseball.

[Chilidog]

You guys are being trolled and haven't realized it yet.

[LeoLeo99]

Other than logos, I always thought golf hats and baseball hats where the same thing. Of course, I wear my 5.11 hat if I have to go confront someone.

OP, you're not making any sense it seems to anyone but yourself. Please don't keep trying to prove your point!!!! LOL!

What???? You still aren't making any sense. And for the record, I could write really well at 16 (my mother was an English teacher and made sure all of her children knew how to communicate) but putting together a sentence and having it make sense aren't one in the same. You did very well with your sentence structure, your post just didn't make any sense. Bless your heart!!!

[omoub001]

OP you know that when you bend the bill you get 6 months of missed putts? I'm all for 5950's on the course but don't bend that bill baby!
