British Open at Portrush confirms the rise of hirsute golf
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that the opening day of the 2019 Open Golf at Port Rush has confirmed that the days of clean-shaven golf have gone. The lead has alternated between veteran hirsute golfer Shane Lowry and the bearded Spaniard Jon Rahm. British golfer Tommy Fleetwood, the leading UK golfing beard has also done well
The campaigners say that until recently golf was one of the most clean-shaven sports with hirsute players a rarity.
The BLF says that the interaction between the beard, air currents and the golf club can be an important issue when it comes to the direction and speed of a drive or putt
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, golf was one of the last bastions of clean-shaven sport and we are pleased to see that at last the importance of beard power is being grasped at last.
