A Riddle.

[Dave3498]

What are they?

They are very cheap to buy.
They come in many colours.
They are sometimes given free gratis with advertising material.
They are used in many sports, not just golf.
They are very useful in bright sunshine.
They are very useful in the rain.
Many golfers would not be seen dead using them, and frown upon their use.

Any ideas?

PS. I love 'em.

Because they make you look like a 15 year old kid, or Ricky Fowler.

Id pay good money to look like Ricky Fowler instead of Pauline Fowler.

Ricky Fowler? Maybe some of the talent would rub-off on me.

 

[fenwayrich]

I like them. But then, as my nickname suggests, I like baseball.

I dont feel comfortable in a cap, just doesnt work for me.

An umbrella fits the description.

So it does! Well spotted.

Why would you not want to be seen dead with an umbrella, and frown upon their use ?

In some parts of the UK, they are considered un-manly.

Condoms.

Could be the answer to most of the questions

 

[Foxholer]

And a real pain if you are Carrying!

 

[richart]

And a real pain if you are Carrying!

What a condom ?

I was hoping to promote a discussion about the merits of baseball caps. Who loves them and who hates them, and why?

I think they just look a bit naff on anyone over 15 - but they are effective so I will sometimes wear one and accept that a might look bit of a prat. Try wearing one if you go shopping dressed 'normally'. I did once - I felt really stupid and that I was trying too hard to look cool - when you can't look cool wearing a baseball cap unless you actually are cool to start with. And even then you wouldn't be seen dead wearing a baseball cap in the 'straight' way we golfers wear 'em.
