IIRC at one time Bryson was talking about starting a charity/non profit that focused on golf for kids who couldn't afford it.  It's been a few years since I heard talk of it.

 

Ok I looked it up so I could be accurate.  Multi sports but golf is one of them.  If that's what he did with the majority of his Liv money it's awesome!

Would be interested to see if he did "give" and if so to whom and how much. I did a quick search and came up with nothing. Which doesn't mean anything other than I couldn't find anyone talking about it.

 

One thing is for sure. Talk is cheap.

Smart people wear bucket hats rather than caps on the course as they provide substantially more protection 

 

Only proviso, and I say this as the owner of many bucket hats, is that Titleist makes one of the worst as they lose their shape and generally make you look like a homeless person

Agree with all of the above.

 

I got a nice one from St Michael's GC in Sydney last year and it has an excellent brim, is very well made and isn't too big.  Excellent all around protection.  I have a Titleist bucket as well, and it is faded and doesn't maintain brim integrity.

Mizuno are poor as well and given that they are virtually identical, I suspect that they’re made in the same factory 

 

I have had a couple from The Australian for 10+ years and they’re still fine 

 

The old cricket floppy does the job if you’re not worried about how you look but I generally use Skin Cancer Council ones as they’re very well made

He is building a driving range and junior program in a very underserved area at a public course north of fort worth.

Next time I drop by The Australian for a round I will grab a couple. 😉

Used to be relatively cheap when it had the late KP as a benefactor 

 

Not so much these days
