PERIWINKLE OR WHAT'S A GUY TO DO?

A good friend of mine asked for help when choosing a golf hat to purchase before a round earlier this week. Keep in mind that many of my closest friends and family have never even seen me in a hat or cap. And that's for a good reason: I simply don't look good in a hat. My hair is too long and my head is too large.

"Oh, get that one. It's got the good logo and it's periwinkle. Chicks love periwinkle," I advised.

"Then that's what I'm getting," Gary resolved.

"Periwinkle, huh," he questioned.

"Yep. It looks like gray to me, but my wife says it's periwinkle, and I don't know why, but women love it," I reassured him.

The cart girl was the only woman we saw on the golf course, and she didn't say anything about it, but she was young and when guys get our age, it's like we're invisible to young women. I'm surprised she even stopped to ask us if we needed a drink. I mean how did she see us?

When Gary got home, his wife said,"Is that the only color of hat they had?"

"It's periwinkle," he countered.

"Periwinkle? It looks faded gray to me," Deb responded.

"Well, it's a good thing you don't have to wear it, then," a now crushed Gary added.

Somewhere out there, there are chicks who will love that hat. Maybe today at Club West we'll find them.
