"Razzie Awards" For Golf Fashion (1)

The ”Golden Raspberry Awards“ （Razzie Award）is a traditional film award which intends to counterpoint the Academy Awards by dishonoring (or honoring) the worst acting, screenwriting, songwriting, directing, and films that the film industry had to offer. In the circle of golf, which has a long fashion history, who has the honor to be presented the "Razzie Award" in golf fashion?

worst golf fashion in 1976

Harry Vardon, circa 1905
Three questions we've always had about turn-of-the-century golf: why are Harry Vardon's socks so high? How does he swing in a suit jacket? And did he win by stuffing all the other golfers in his huge pockets?

Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen, Abe Mitchell, and George Duncan, 1924
The American duo of Hagen/Sarazen faced Brits Mitchell and Duncan in a special international match. The Yanks win the fashion battle by default, because Mitchell dons the biggest V ever found on a V-neck vest.

F.G Nielson, J McCulloch, Mrs. Hugh McCall, D Allan, 1930
In Great Britain, women fight for golf course equality by dressing just as poorly as the men.

John O'Leary, circa 1970s
Wait, why is Michael Landon in a sand trap sporting every color of the Brazilian flag? Oh, that's just Irish golfer John O'Leary, right leg green, left leg yellow.

Johnny Miller, 1973 British Open
Miller, who will call this year's U.S. Open for NBC, is known as the most candid analyst in golf. In that same spirit of candor: Johnny's got 747 wings on his collar and some frighteningly tight pants.
