We take a look at some of our favourite hats to play golf in.
Best Golf Hats
Choosing the right hat when you are heading to, or at the golf course doesn’t sound like that much of an important decision but we would argue it is. This is because no longer are hats just something to tip when we hit a good shot, nor are they just a fashion statement.
No these days there are hats designed specifically to deal with the sun, the rain, the wind, the cold and just about every other weather variable you can think of. Importantly, modern day hats have become functional as well as fashionable.
So bearing in mind the huge selection of choice, and the various styles of hat out there, below we have taken a look at some of our favourite caps, bucket hats and beanies to narrow down your choice.
