So we were twittering about last night when we came across this image of Boo Weekley. Or is it Santa? Or an extra from Sons of Anarchy? Even though the hipster evolution has taken over the world, there really aren't all that many great beards in the world of golf. So, if you want to stand out on the golf course, the answer is to grow a beard.

 

The Five Best Beards In Golf

5)

Graeme Delaet

This PGA Tour playing Canadian has fully embraced his beard. Apparently he's five months into his masterpiece.

"I've got a beehive and two otter farms hidden in here"

 

4)

Craig Stadler

The Walrus has always been known for his amazing moustache, but in recent years he's added to it with a bit of extra chin fluff.

"This facial hair helped me win the Masters"

"And I looked like a motherfunking G"

 

3)

Greg Norman

Would growing himself a beard earlier on have given Greg Samson-like powers, and helped him win more majors? We will never know. 

"No Mr Lyndhurst, I won't play Uncle Albert"

 

2) 

The Morris Dynasty

Old and Young Tom Morris. Eight Open Championships between them. And by the looks of it, this is where the Hipster thing started all those years ago.

The Original Gangstas have two questions: "Has selvedge denim been invented yet? What about New Balance?"

 

1)

Thomas Bjorn

You don't want to meet this man down a dark alley.

"Don't even go there"

 

 

Honorable Mentions

Technically these aren't beards. For the most part though, they are silly.

Padraig Harrington 

What were you thinking? Were they auditioning for the policeman in Village People at your local AmDram? 

"Ehhhhh"

So pleased with himself

Mike 'Fluff' Cowan

The most recognisable caddy in golf, purely because of that fluffy white caterpillar on his top lip. Nothing to do with being on Tiger's bag for some of his most iconic victories then.

Put a fork in me, I'm done

Andres Gonzales

Two words. Golf Hagrid.

What's not to love about a chubby Dave Grohl look alike with a handlebar 'tache?
