Spotted at Shinnecock: Patriotic covers galore, Duf’s headwear game remains strong

We’re on the famed grounds of Shinnecock Hills Golf Club for the second major of the year. With the U.S. Open returned to such a visually and historically rich venue, it may be a bit tough to focus on equipment.

Nevertheless, we spotted some cool clubs Monday, as well as some curious contraptions and distinct practice methods.

Let’s get to the photos.

How about these baseball-style headcovers?
