Now that Golf 2.0 has been on the market for a few months, Chapeau Noir presents Golf 1.0, as captured by the incomparable Robert Matre at the 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines.

Golf 1.0, aka Rickie Fowler (pre-page boy haircut), shows us that he was more than capable of choosing tasteful attire in his pre-Puma days. As is the case with many so-called upgrades, Golf 2.0 comes replete with new fonts, graphics, and features - all of dubious benefit.

Chapeau Noir's window to Fowler's fashion past would not be possible without the kind permission of Robert Matre photography, who captures the style and emotion of golf like few others.

"My goal is to celebrate the game of golf in a style that floats between documentation, photo-journalism and high art. Golf is infinitely interesting, and I hope that my photographs allow you to celebrate and enjoy the game in a truly unique fashion."
