Hats are central to packing if you are a golf minimalist. If it's not sunny or raining I don't wear one, but I sure need them handy when the weather shifts. It's my style to be this way. I may take the hat off several times during a round and stow it. There's not a lot of space for extra stuff in my golf bag, and the hat needs to fill a small space, for me, when not in use. It also needs to be waterproof.

Swiss know how to pack.

Ebay. Decent deal.

I got mine at a Saks 5th Avenue store closing for $250. If you're going to wear a hat, then wear a hat. I also vave a Filson or two hanging around.

The fact a certain presidential candidate used s baseball cap as a marketing ploy for his supporters is enough for this Euro-hipstrr to say, "stay far away from badeball hats", unless of course you play baseball for a living.

They scream "I'm a loud ignorant American" or a conformist. Why wear a hat at all if itta baseball cap. I confess I have a Loro Piana cashmere made in Italy baseball cap, but it's for out on the town.

I'm of Swiss ancestry. Play tournament golf at a 4 handicap and most often carry. Plenty of mountain climbers in the family. I treat my golf accouterments like a serious mountain climber. Everything packs down or it doesn't go. Use 11 clubs, with the gap wedge doing double service as a cane. The bag is sun mountain 2.5 though I'm aware Honma has released a lighter one. 6 golf balls max. I often play in inclement weather, so gortex is a must.

Absolutely, yes. By miles.

Arc'teryx makes things light, packable waterproof and well. I use Arc'teryx for cold weather beanie, rain jacket, and golf hat. I'm 62 and carry my own clubs and have little patience with extraneous, inefficient and poorly made items. The hat in question weighs 1.7 ounces, is gortex, breathable, offers great uv protection and packs down to the size of my thumb. It also looks decent and doesn't crumple badly. Arc'teryx is an amazing company. https://arcteryx.com/us/en/shop/bucket-hat

They looked good on Victor Dubuisson.

Never a baseball cap. Never ever. They do almost nothing, lack style and sophistication and look bad. Currently gaming an Arc'teryx bucket hat.

Exactly, I see tour pros who make a good living frequently 15 feet wide of their target with a wedge. That's unbelievable and unfair. I rarely miss my driving target by 15 feet, much less a fairway 30 yards wide. If I miss my line and my window by more than 3 feet with a wedge it's a very poor shot for me. If I could play courses 6100 yards with 10 yard wide fairways, punitive rough, and small greens that would be an equalizer. We'd see who could win. Golf would be more like ballet.

If they roll it back it should be for everyone. I'm a short hitter who plays usga senior type events. Distance has been overprivileged in golf for too long. Hitting it arrow straight should have it's day now. The ball companies will likely sue.

Age 62, cancer survivor here, still walking and carrying. 11 clubs, 6 golf balls, Sun Mountain 2.5 bag. I am looking at electric push carts, but so far none strikes both my eyes and my wallet.
