In the right context the golf visor is iconic.
But the path is narrow. With the incorrect face shape, build, hair length or aura the visor becomes ridiculous.
One of the most polarizing pieces of clothing. If you can pull it off you are almost obligated to imho.
Urethane vs ionomer equals 2-3000 RPM more spin on wedge shots. ~70% more on half-wedge shots.
The question is whether you make consistent enough contact inside 100 yards to use that spin.
Around a 15 HCP is where short game consistency starts to exist. Hard to say when from 15 to scratch the balls make sense to buy but it’s certainly a gradient scale and as you improve it has a larger impact.

Dad’s job is to set the frame. Provide the experience, de-stress everyone involved, carry the bags, find the right spot. Stop anything from going sideways.
There are definitely opportunities to join in. But even more to sit back and let everyone enjoy themselves.
It’s a fine line but not a hard one to walk if you’re well rounded.
Hover dads fetching snacks, correcting behavior every five seconds, coming up with the games & policing social dynamics are a dime a dozen at public spaces these days and it’s awful.
