DRESS FOR SUCCESS



Quick update! We have two more YES's to announce
Chris Torrone and Trevor Dyer! Trevor has succumbed to my constant barrage of emails and Chris told me he was in a long time ago (apparently I was on my 11th pint and spaced out on the last email). that said, there are a few ideas floating around that need to be passed along~

Playing at Bandon Dunes is a lot like going back in time. A few of us were talking about wearing kilts or something to rock the golf-duds of yesterday on the second day (when we play Bandon Dunes). If there has ever been a place to show your golf style and classic threads, this is the ideal location. Playing golf in a kilt isn't that comfortable- it's heavy and hard to manage. Also, Kilts are not an easy outfit to acquire (unless you descend from Scottish royalty).

Our current plan is to take a group photo on Saturday morning before the round. How sick would it be if our group was kicking the vintage vibe? Bobby Jones, Harry Vardon, Francis Ouimet. Those old cronies had it going on. Cap, knickers, tweed coat, tie, vest, sweater, or some other throw-back fresh turn-of-the-century classic golf ensemble. Look at the fashion in the movie "the greatest game ever played" or "the legend of bagger's pants." There's a good chance you already have most of the elements, or could quite easily complete an outfit with a quick visit to a vintage store or your grandpappy's closet.

There are no points awarded for the most snazz. This is just an option that's been put out there. I think that participation will be high and didn't want to leave anyone out. I can't wait to stand on the 6th tee, look out at the ocean, wax my handlebar moustache, pull out my mashie and knock a vardon flyer a few feet from the cup.

Sport the duds worn on links in decades past and you’ll be sporting style right along with history. this is bandon dunes.
