Watching Hatton and Smith today the hood didn’t seem to impeded their swing at all and it didn’t seem to be moving too much when they were swinging - I have worn a hoodie at the range years back and can’t recall it hampering the swing ?

I wear a hoody to the range. I can't say it happers the swing it's more to do with having to throw it back over my shoulder after every swing.

Exactly, given that it's designed by Adidas for golf, I imagine they'd make it so it doesn't flap about freely in the wind. It's not like just digging an old hoodie out of your cupboard. Also I have played golf with a hood up before, some hoods on certain jackets it might hamper your view, but on others it doesn't, it depends on the cut of the hood and the design.

Personally I think people moaning about hoods on the golf course need to have a look at themselves. It's just a practical clothing feature for rain and/or warmth if you need it. Really nothing to get worked up about. One for the loony sock brigade.

I don't get what the hood adds. A fleecy top, similar to a hoodie material wise, with a higher neck would be way warmer, useful, and more comfortable. Without the flappy bit to get on your nerves.

It's got a mountain of media attention, it's different to all the other standard golf tops out there. It's been a brilliant bit of marketing.

Don't look too deeply into it, it's just fashion.
 
Golf is hardly full of fashionable people. I've personally seen some shockers in my time - anyone that has a royal and awesome pair of trousers or wears all orange.
 
I don’t mind it, don’t think I’d wear one for golf as I think there are better looking tops but won’t begrudge others wearing one. Golfs a sport so clothes suitable for sport should be allowed
 
I voted I couldn't care less, however, I don't think I would ever wear one on a golf course. What other people wear though is up to them, it is just a bit of clothing Also, they look like they could be a snagging hazard when rummaging about in the bushes, so no good for most of us on here.
