Sure as long as you are 80 and don't give a shit, paired with a white belt and some white shoes you are sure to own all of the ladies in The Villages.

do you smoke a pipe?

Do you carry a putter over your shoulder?

Do you have a curly mustache?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, go ahead.

Truth be told, I sometimes wear a hat very similar to the one in the OP.  It really depends on what the rest of your wardrobe is I guess.

ETA: I have a pipe and I play golf, but I never wear this hat on the golf course.

It may work, but I would look into an old European convertible if you have the time. I assume you are retired and do have the time.

I have to wear surgical hats, so my hair is super short. That means my head gets sunburned when I'm out.

Ball cap is the go-to. Goes with everything.

perfect.
wear a tweed or oilcloth jacket and some wellingtons, too.
encourage others to call you "squire".

I have a black Kangol like that to wear to outdoor sold weather funerals. It goes nicely with my full-length black wool topcoat.

I must rememmber that I am dealing with simpaltins here in GD.

A good hat is a Capotain often erroneously reffered to as a "Pilgrims' hat by my intallectual inferiors. Popularized by Robert E. Howard's (the inventor of Conan the Barbarian,duh!) Solomon Kane. And might I add that giant front buckles are a late 19th century anachronism.

The only people I know that wear those hats are old men with sports cars.

I used to work with a guy that pulled it off. He's one of the few that can do it.
