The Castro Cap

Press center debate has been spirited over what to call the caps worn by Ricky Barnes and Ryan Moore. Painter's cap? Choo-Choo cap?

Personally, I think this tells us what to call it:

It's awful, isn't it. Maybe Old Tom or Young Tom were photographed in somehting similar? I have a vague recollection of a squarish cap on a bushy head. Otherwise, I think Barnes looks like an extra from the set of M.A.S.H.

How about the Pine Box because you would have to shoot me before I would don it?

Someone finally introduces the perfect white belt accessory and you lot go all negative. Sad that.

[gs]

Call it the goofball hat.

[dbh]

Based on the train wreck going on, I'd say it's definitely a conductor's cap.

I wish the hat in Golf would go away. But then again I would have to look at a lot of bald guys.... crap the Cialis ads are bad enough.

Edfors was wearing one, too. And he had the accessorized facial hair.

[The Khaki Crusader]

I think Moore, Barnes, Edfors and Villegas can all carry this hat pretty well, but everyday duffers beware, you need a certain touch of edge to make it work. The beards definitely help, long hair helps too. Although the Adam Scott or Rory bush wouldn't work, neither would the Phil flow. It's quite tempermental.

Pesonally, I decided against it the moment I saw Michelle Wie wearing one.

Wait, that's not entirely true. I didn't need to see Wie wearing to know that I'd never, ever be seen in one.

It started with Villegas, I suppose. And before that, it must have been the border guards in his native Colombia. It's too bad that we've lost Rodney Dangefield. He'd know what to call this form of, uh, headwear.

miller (i think) had a good line sometime last year when camilo showed up in all white and that stupid hat: "he looks like he's here to paint the clubhouse."

The fact that a bunch of nobodys on a golf blog in the U.S. don't like the hats means they are going to become big-time popular. The moment we start looking for fashion advice from a group of people who like their golfers to: look the same, swing the same, speak the same, go to the same schools, have the same coaches, wear the same clothes and wear the same hats we are in deep trouble. Thank God there are people in the world (and on the PGA tour) who have enough confidence in themselves that they don't feel the need to look like everyone else. Keep on posting the same old stuff in the comments sections of someone else's blog boys, you're really setting yourselves apart from the herd.

The proper style name, or at least what most fashionistas are calling it right now, as it makes its trendy way up the wide world of fashion ladder is, "Army Cap."

It has both a military and communist worker-like roots to it;; I'm sure it will be here for a bit then gone tomorrow. How many guys were wearing them this weekend?? Seemed like I saw at least three....

[who do u think]

its ryan moore not barns u retards and he is a G and the hat is sick.

Goodness, some of you have some serious issues. Communist worker-like roots??? C'mon folks,
get a grip..Change has its own momentum,get over it.
