Golf's Costume Contest

Sometimes it's hard to be a golf pro. When you meet someone for the first time and tell them you're in golf as a career one of the most common responses is "do you wear those funky clothes"? The stigma surrounding golf fashion is well deserved. After ditching neckties and knickers golf has toiled in 50+ years of the worst fashion in the history of sport. Pick the decade you think had the worst pop-fashion (the Golf Potato says the 1980's) and know, really know, during that decade golf styles were infinitely worse.

In light of today's holiday tradition we will take a look at those who still seem to be putting on costumes. Welcome to the 1st Annual Golf Potato Costume Ball!

Golfer: Ian Poulter Costume: The Claret Jug

No, that image of the oldest trophy in the game was not Photoshopped on to Poulter's pants. A few years ago he decided to disguise himself as the Jug during the British Open. That's like wearing the t-shirt of the band you're going to see, don't be that guy (PCU all rights reserved).

Golfer: John Daly Costume: Holy Cow Look At That Guy!

I don't even know where to start. What I really want to know is how bad is the shirt underneath the windbreaker? The outfit as is makes one want to wretch, but with the right shirt, it could be even more putrid.

Golfer: Jesper Parnevik Costume: Thrift Store

The airline lost his luggage and he made a quick stop at a Salvation Army buying only items with the 50% off colored tickets. At least that's what I hope happened to put this mess together.

There are plenty more out there. Comment with your entries for the 1st Annual Golf Potato Costume Ball! Happy Halloween!
