Anyone got an attractive alternative to the bobble hat for us lady golfers?

Hi Cyn,
well, this one depends a little on your ahem, generation shall we say? Let's choose neutral ground, singers, to demonstrate.
If you are of Britney's generation then I would suggest something known as a 'beanie', it looks a little like a small tea cosy and usually comes in very bright or pastel colours, it has the added benefit that it is also perfectly usable when you are "hanging" at the skate park. The brands to look for are Animal and O'Neill.
If you are of Kylie's generation, then I would suggest the ever popular skimpy Prada cap, also available with faux-fur trim.
Moving on to those of Madonna's age, I believe the current fashion is to prove how well you have maintained your circulation through a vigourous regime of exercise, yoga and soy milk by sticking with your minimalist summer cap that merely serves to keep your abundance of silken hair out of your face.
For the Barbara Streisand's among us may I recommend that you wind your pink pashmina winningly around your head, which will cunningly also nod to eastern fashion by appearing turbanesque.
For Tina Turners there's undoubedly something to be said for a bit of leather, try it as a flock-lined snood for added comfort, and matching your gloves for added chic.
And finally, Dame Vera Lynn's and above probably ought to hold off play til the summer, but if you are feeling sprightly then ensure your winter comfort with one of those Sherlock Holmes style caps with extendable ear warmers in tweed (fur-lined, of course).
I do hope that helps.

Thanks a lot Greta. I saw a nice fur (is it acceptable?) Elmer Fudd type with ear warmers, it had a bit of a Russian look (is it acceptable?). I have also seen a similar sheepskin one but it looked a bit over the top for a golf course.
Is there anything to keep the low winter sun out of the eyes other than a baseball cap?
|
|
Yes, that will put you in with the Veras, a good choice. Fur is perfectly acceptable for more established ladies providing that it is environmentally friendly and cruelty free.
Steer clear of the sheepskin though dear, it can cause a host of unsightly pespiratory problems.
For the low winter sun burqas are probably the height of ironic fashion, but I think all things considered one ought to leave those to the men to wear don't you? However, you will find that the type of hat you are suggesting may well have a front flap, failing that swallow your pride and dig out your summer sunglasses

Tried a few on. The badger made me look like Spike in Gremlins, beaver would only get rude comments from the male seniors, so I opted for fox, a nice red shade and it has got a peak.
|
|
I wish they hadn't left the head and tail on though, why do they do that?
|
|
That is to show it has been ethically killed Cyn, if it had been hunt-caught it would have no head or tail to speak of. Think of it like a quality assured 100% wool tag that you should remove once you get home.

Thanks for turning my serious thread into a farce -------- I said FARCE.
As it happens I found a magic gold putter alongside the evil bunker of the fifth. When I wiped it, this huge genie dressed in plus fours and a tartan waistcoat with a face that looked like it had been stung by a thousand wasps appeared --- and granted me three wishes.

which were?
The suspense is killing me

1) For Tiger to make mad passionate love to me.
How come these genies take things literally?
|
|
He ate my bloody fox fur hat!
|

Need to be careful with the others, I'm still recovering from the ordeal.
So what I'd like you to do boys and girls is to help me out with my two remaining wishes.

Enters stage right wearing a black cloak and a wicked leer:
Heh! Heh! Heh! - new putters for old my dear, new putters for old. I'll swop that old gold putter what you found for this 'ere Scotty Cameron 'Laguna' in a nice shade of gunmetal --- now that's magic - Heh! Heh! Heh!
