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.

I consider myself a feel player, but after looking at these responses, perhaps I'm not. I often use my scope on pitch shots, or when I feel it's so close as to be unnecessary I simply walk up and measure the distance as I step. I need to know the carry spot and how much roll out to expect. I play fast but compute these matters before playing the shot, almost always. I don't know how you could play a shot confidently without knowing the precise distance you are shooting for to land and then the roll out, dictated by slope, moisture/firmness speed of greens, angle of shot selected and perhaps most important grain and even wind. I'll even check if there are riding greensmower rings around the perimeter, which necessitates calculating an effectively smaller green so as not to get an unexpected first bounce. It's how I've practiced all my life. I feel I have a swing for every distance down to a yard. If carry is fourteen and not fifteen I definitely want to know. If roll out is 17 and not 15, that's a six foot putt instead of a tap in. I walk and carry, aged 62, and play 18 6,000 yards with lots of hills in about 3.25 hours. The biggest amateur move I see comes from the golf cart. People just grab one club and a putter. I may take any one of five to seven clubs around greens, and if forced to ride will remove my bag and carry it when playing a short shot or take anywhere from 3:to seven clubs around the greens.

5 draws then a fade, five draws then a fade.

Mizuno has done same, so have Fourteen, and OnOff. Width of sole is less important than bounce until you try to open the blade.

TR21 driver vastly underrated. Long enough and a fairway finder that's easy to hit and work. Vizard shafts are among the best in the business

I agree with this, except the fitting part. Any competent PGA pro can help your selection better than most fitters. Any fitting needs to be on real time turf. It's best to rotate wedges based on the course you will play. The for instances are endless.

Above, not about

All wedges are super game improvement clubs, just make sure you have a good one. Playing mostly muni and public courses in Florida I developed a need for medium low bounce, 10* max. It gets you where you play a course with soft sand bunkers. I would advise this: if you're not a pro or don't consider yourself a master wedge player, or you play the ball down on crappy conditions, you shouldn't carry more than 55* loft on any wedge. Wedges about 57 are the hardest club in your bag and require perfection in your technique. The vast majority of golfers would best be served with a max 54* wedge and just take your poison, never try to get cute unless it is to stay alive in a match.

I don't even know how to hit it hard. I never swing at more than 85% of my strength with any club and prefer to swing at 70% at all times. Hitting it hard is a foreign concept. I wouldn't know what to do.

When you look at Cobra's website under one length forge, there's still an image of him swinging, but his name isn't mentioned.

As of yesterday i saw DeChambeau and Cobra have parted ways.
