In Caddyshack, a movie we recently quoted in another blog, Rodney Dangerfield’s character insults uptight Judge Smaels’s hat: “Wear that to the buffet and they’ll give you a free bowl of soup.” Though no one’s really sure exactly what that means, it’s funny anyway, and it rings true since so many golfers take it upon themselves to wear ugly hats.
