prussell24 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I usually like a ball cap but I really need to start wearing something with better sun protection. 1 Quote 917 D2 9.5 - Project X Hzrdus Smoke Black 70g 6.5 M2 (2017) 3W 17.5 - G 4H 22 - 735cm 3 - PW - KBS Tour Black Nickel 115g ( R ) SM4 Tour Chrome 52˚- 8˚ | 56˚- 8˚ | 60˚- 7˚ - True Temper Dynamic Gold ( W ) California Coronado MTB-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED13 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I have a few straw fedoras that I prefer to wear. My home course is always windy so I have been forced to wear a ball cap (less likely to fly off). For this I have gone to runners caps. They are light weight, breathable, washable and made to stuff in a pocket as the brim is flexible. Leave one in my bag and pull out when needed. 1 Quote Driver - Ping G410 Woods - Callaway Rogue 5 wood Hybrid - Titleist TS2 21 degree Irons - Taylormade P790 5-PW Wedges - Taylormade MG3 50, 54, 58, SM9 60 Putter - Mizuno Black Carbon BC3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbsdaddy Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I've had numerous skin cancers removed (Squamous Cell Carcinoma - thankfully not Melanoma), and gave up on baseball caps long ago. Over the last several years I have tried many hats, and have found a few that I really like: The Shelta Seahawk it great. I also like the Mineola Hat Store bucket hat (Amazon). I have a Stetson bucket hat being delivered today. I still use a 50 SPF sun screen (Ocean Potion) on the neck, face, ears, and arms, and sometimes wear the long sleeve SPF 30 fishing shirts. I will not give up golf. 2 Quote ksted driver: Ping G410 plus 3 wood: Ping G400 5 wood: Ping G400 hybrid: Cobra F8 irons: Ping G400 4-gw wedges: Ping G400 U 50, Cleveland RTX4 56, Zipcore 60 putter: Evnroll ER2 balls: Srixon Q Star Tour/Titleist Tour Soft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titleist87 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) Picked up this hat last year to use while fly fishing and may have to re-purpose it and use on the golf course, too. Mine is a slightly different style and the one online appears different than what is in the store this year.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Amen. People always say that they dont like bucket hats because they dont look cool. You know what else isnt cool? Skin cancer. Im 40 years old now, so Im past the point in my life where I worry about what other people think is cool. As someone who is a redhead, who used to pretty much live in tank tops and shorts (and has the sun damage marks on his shoulders to prove it) and who hasnt been very good to his skin sometimes over the past 40 years; Im probably more aware of it than most. 2 Quote "I suppose its better to be a master of 7 than to be vaguely familiar with 14." - Chick Evans Whats in my Sun Mountain 2.5+ stand bag?
