This Year’s Best Golf-Themed Halloween Costumes

Halloween-2016-header (1).jpg

For many, dressing up for Halloween is one of the highlights of the year. It’s one of the few times in life when you can put on a costume and pretend to be someone else. But if vampires and zombies aren’t quite your thing, why not dress up as your favorite golfer? Here are five costume ideas for the golf fan this Halloween.

No one in the world of golf owned the year 2016 more than Beef. Whether it’s his love of beer, his passion for fast food roast beef sandwiches or the best/worst facial hair in the history of the sport, people couldn’t get enough Beef. Grab a fake beard (or grow your own), throw a pillow under a golf shirt, swing through your nearest Arby’s and wa-lah, you’re on your way to crushing Halloween like it’s a large curly fry.

Tiger Woods

While Tiger has certainly been a popular costume for years, there are a few twists you can add to your get-up to update it for 2016. In addition to your red polo and black pants, throw on a back brace to make the outfit as realistic as possible. If you really want to go all out, RSVP to your friends Halloween party and then cancel the day of.

Of course the funniest character in one of the greatest movies ever made would be a great Halloween costume. All you need is a camo bucket hat, a pair of hiking boots and a dirty t-shirt. Bonus points if you have a friend dress up like a gopher and spend the whole night chasing him around. Or you can carry the bag for your friend dressed as the Dali Lama. Big hitter, the Lama.

Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy

One of the most memorable moments of this golf season was the battle between Reed and McIlory at Hazeltine. It provided us with the passion, drama and gif-able moments we all crave. Have your Patrick wear a stripey blue polo and some awesome red pants while your Rory rocks the often underappreciated blue sweater vest and no hat. Then battle it out for Halloween supremacy.

These four gentlemen spent a week in April having the trip of a lifetime down in the Bahamas, posting their adventures for the world to see on Snapchat. Now it’s time for you and your friends to take on Spring Break 2016, but you know, in October. Probably the easiest costume on this list, all you need is a bathing suit, a straw hat and a 7-iron.

Bridgestone Makes A Key Manufacturing Move

Bye bye Bridgestone. Shocking news that Bridgestone is closing its golf ball plant and test facility in Georgia after 36 years and shifting its manufacturing to Japan on June 30. The bulk of Bridgestone balls are manufactured in Japan anyway. As one of the top five golf ball manufacturing companies, Bridgestone got a huge lift when Tiger Woods became its top player. Chris Gotterup (Bridgestone Tour B X) is its top PGA Tour ambassador now. It will be interesting to see if Bridgestone makes a huge marketing push to tag along to the current popularity of Japanese men's and women's golf.

Korda Registers Impressive Win in the Chevron Championship

Woah, Nelly. That was quite an impressive performance by Nelly Korda (TaylorMade TP5x) in the Chevron Championship, scoring a five-shot victory, winning wire to wire and setting a LPGA majors record with a score of 14-under par after 36 holes. With the win, she vaulted into first place in the world rankings ahead of Jeeno Thitikul (Callaway Chrome Tour X), who surprisingly didn’t make the cut and continued the distinction of the greatest active player not to win a major. More on that later.

Jeeno, Nelly And Hannah Head Field For LPGA's First Major Of The Season

It’s the first LPGA Tour major of the season. Who do you think will win? It will be interesting to see who takes the ceremonial jump into the water at the 2026 Chevron Championship, which takes place this year at the Memorial Park Golf Course, site of the recent Texas Children’s Houston Open, following three years at Carlton Woods.
