Get Ahead (caps, visors and other headwear)

Wearing a hat is derigeour no matter the season. Whether it's keeping off the rain, or the sun - you have choices!

How a hat makes you feel is what a hat is all about.

Visors: these have always been a popular choice for women on the golf course, as they offer sun protection, have maximum ventilation and a brim to shield the eyes. Useful for keeping your ball marker handy for the putting green, and suits a variety of hair styles, whether a pony tail or pixie cut!

Bucket Hats: well these have soared in popularity. They don’t suit everyone, with the downward sloping brim and relaxed fit. They offer excellent sun protection for the face and neck and typically are made from moisture wicking materials to keep you cool.

Baseball Caps: These are a classic choice for men and women featuring a rounded crown and stiff brim that shields the eyes from the sun. Many golf brands offer baseball caps designed specifically for women – with feminine colours and variations to the crown shaping and fabrics to make it more feminine.

Straw hats: always a stylish accessory and lightweight option for golfers. Wide brimmed sun hats and fedoras provide fabulous sun protection.

Fedora Hats: These are characterised by their creased crown and brim that can be snapped down or up at the sides. They are chic and sophisticated and a real favourite with women looking for a unique style, somewhat vintage, on the fairways.

Golf Beanies: let’s not forget the colder weather (!) and golf beanies are a cosy option for winter months. Layer one over your golf cap to keep any snow glare off your eyes, and of course the handy place for your ball marker. Classic knitted beanies and fleece lined options pulled down over your ears for added warmth!
