Golf, TheWritingIllini

British Open 2009 LogoIt’s been a fun two days of golf at Turnberry Fashionberry.  I love watching the “weird” players and how they dress and carry themselves.  Basketball players usually have more tattoos than other major sports because their arms are exposed – so they can distinguish themselves by looking different from everyone else.  Football players are heavily padded and are usually covered from head to toe in protective gear – so the players who want to stand out grow out dreadlocks to stand out on the field.  Golf is a much more conservative sport, so I love seeing players doing creative things to stand out.  The 2009 Open Fashionberry contestants:
