Although to be fair in the case of Miguel Jimenez his hat does double as a hair restraint system. To suddenly take it off may well be dangerous to anyone within 3ft!
Please remove your caps chaps.

never really thought about it, I would say most pros take there cap off to shake hands at the end of the round(will watch for it now)
Always realised that pros wear there cap's at interviews for the sponsorship money and cant say it bothered me but i never thought it was rude, but is it rude. Will think about that.
Must admit if i was an average pro who struggled to win big money i think i would,,,, no defiantly wear a cap at interview to make up my wages s to speak, but if i was at the top of the game i would take less money and tell the sponsors what i will do not the other way about.
In-fact if i was at the top you find it hard to sponsor me as the money would not be important the equipment would be the main thing.

I'm not fussed all.
I think they should take them off at the end of the round and inside the clubhouse obviously but in press conferences it doesn't bother me. If you were a pro and had just put yourself through 4 hours of pure concentration, the last think i would want to do is talk to the press.
If they are told to do so by there sponsers then that is just pure WRONG. you never no they may be a little shy lets remember david duval hated all that side of it and was only there to play golf, he would have probably worn a balaclava if he could get away with it due to his shyness ha ha ha
lol all play well

if duval takes the money he has to dance for it, If he does not want to do it then take less money from a sponsor who wants less or don't take the money and do nothing but play the game.
Just don't moan about it, that's pathetic.

For arguements sake lets look at the other side of the coin here. I am lucky enough to know a couple of members at the world famous Turnberry and get a couple of free games a year.
Turnberry Open Championship venue and all allows members and guests to walk about the clubhouse in their spikes and wear their caps if so desired, even while eating a meal they are allowed to wear their caps.
Maybe Turnberry have the correct idea and golf needs to move with the times. If I'm not mistaken Loch Lomond Dundonald also does not specify that you remove your cap (not sure but think that people were hat wearing in the lounge there last year!?)
Is it time for other clubs to relax and come into the 21st century???
Debate!!!!!!!

I don't get it, every clubhouse i've been in over the last few years has a roof and heating. There are also mirrors in changing rooms so there is no excuses for wearing hats indoors, a bit like foglights on during the clearest of days.

OK, thecraw. Let's forget amount manners completely, 21st Century style! Don't shake hands after a round, tell your playing partner they're playing shite and walk all over their line while we're at it. Lovely. Welcome to the new "relaxed" attitude to golf.

I wasn't having a go, thecraw. Hope you don't think I was.
The point I was trying to make was that if clubs like Turnberry gradually lower their standards to cater for their clients, irrespective of common manners, then we're all buggared.
Manners and etiquette are what makes our game special, in my opinion. I don't want to see it catered to the professional footballer and the loudmouthed businessman who doesn't know the score.
