Wasn’t a good time. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy There is one person in each generation in my family that is redheaded, fair-skinned, and prone to burning. My grandfather worked in the sun his whole life, and he got to make MONTHLY visits to the dermatologist as a result. My mother was much more careful, but it still got her. She has now had two separate surgeries for a Squamous cell carcinoma that metastasized into her Parotid Gland (the largest of the Salivary glands) and a round of radiation. In the second surgery they had to take out the facial nerve, so she looks like she had a stoke. No control of right side of face. Now I'm next, followed by my daughter. You better believe I'm wearing a good hat and using sunscreen, but that hasn't always been the case. I used to hate both, so I too will pay the price. My daughter has watched all this and I hope she has learned something, but my co-workers have also seen all this happen and heard me talk about it and see the holes and scars on me and they still cook themselves. Friends, I know you love this game as much as I do or you wouldn't be watching this forum and reading my drivel, but please please take care of yourselves. Hats on and sunscreen on.

Middler Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I’ve never understood the open weave hats like some in this thread, but I’m trying to protect my head, ears, neck from the sun when I wear a hat. I used to be a Tilley advocate, and any wide brimmed hat is good for golf when it’s calm. But when the wind is up, a floppy brim is a problem. I bought a Shelta Hat for boating, now it’s the only hat I wear for boating or golf - because of the no-flop brim. Comes in several styles and colors. Cheaper than a Tilley. https://www.sheltahats.com 8 Quote Titleist TSR2 11° HZRDUS Red CB 50 6.0 TSR w Lamkin UTx Midsize Titleist TSR2 16.5º HZRDUS Red 60 6.0 & TSR2 21º HZRDUS Black 4G 70 6.0 w Lamkin UTx Midsize Mizuno JPX900 Forged 4-GW, S18 56.10, S18 60.06 w MCC+4 Midsize Evnroll ER5B Fit@TrueSpec w P2 Touch Tour Maxfli Tour & ProV1 Ping Pioneer - MGI Zip Navigator AT Payntr X 002 LE, Ecco Biom C4, FJ DryJoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Black Clover hands down. Comfortable, can get in almost any color combo to match you attire.Only con I've had is when ordering directly from them. Had to wait a bit. I've purchased many from Ebay.Sent from my SM-G965U using MyGolfSpy mobile app 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMookie Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I had ordered a second Melin brand hat, and there was a mix-up. Within two days I had the correct hat, and then yesterday I received a box from them. 2 new hats, a small bag, and a hand written note from their Marketing Manager, Cameron, apologizing, and offering 2 more hats just for the mess-up. They didn’t have to do that.
