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.

Andrew “Beef” Johnston

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.

Rickie Fowler, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and Smiley Kaufman aka The Spring Breakers

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.

Waxing Poetic About The Masters

So, The Masters is finally here. Does it get any better? I’ve never been to Augusta National and it’s something I hope to do at some point. I covered horse racing as a journalist for 10 years and regularly attended the Kentucky Derby. I can honestly say that it never got dull. Seeing Churchill Downs and the Twin Spires gave me a true understanding of a true sports landmark. I’m sure it’s the same with Augusta National. I can only imagine what the course looks like. I’m told the wonderful scenes you see on TV do not really do it justice, and that in person, the undulations of the lush greens, the azaleas in full bloom, Amen Corner and the various bridges named after immortals of the game are collective works of art.

Gary Woodland's Victory Is A Story For The Ages

Perspective is a sobering thing when it comes to health. Gary Woodland (Titleist Pro V1) made us all appreciate that we are nothing without our health, while also proving that will is sometimes more powerful than the mind in terms of everyday living. In going public recently with The Golf Channel’s Rex Hoggard about his battle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Woodland allowed us a peek into his private world since his brain surgery in September 2023.

Golf Gods Kind To Fitzpatrick But Cruel To Snedeker

The golf gods giveth and taketh. How else can you explain the last two PGA tournaments. Matt Fitzpatrick (Titleist Pro V1x) wins the Valspar Championship by one stroke after losing the Players Championship seven days before by one stroke. Fitzpatrick was gracious in defeat, so perhaps he was rewarded for his good sportsmanship.
