Movember Inspiration - Noted Golf Architect or 70's Porn Star

A couple of weeks ago I told you about Noshember... the creative November beard-growing challenge. No Shave November = Noshember.

In response to that post the awesome Aussie Golfer asked, "Is that a rip-off of Movember?" - Turns out Movember is a similar movement... but with a focus on... the mustache. 

Anyone who's been watching the Presidents's Cup these last few days has seen some great golf played out on the treacherous fairways of Royal Melbourne.  Stylistically speaking, the uniforms haven't received much attention ... but there's one particular style statement does have people talking: Australian golf Geoff Ogilvy's "Movember moment".  The normally clean-shaven Aussie golfers is currently sporting a prodigious mustache.  Some like it, some loath it but it's definitely getting attention.

Personally I'm just wondering if Mr. Ogilvy was inspired by the famous golf architect or the iconic porn star.

Noshember: Seeking PGA Players Who Dare to Go Natural

Noshember is a yearly event that I don't claim to understand... at all.

For those unaware, it's a kind of celebration of unkempt manly-ness that revolves around a month long boycott of the common razor.

The goal... for those who decide to participate... is facial hair. And in this case more clearly means better.

The main focus is a kind of "creative beard challenge" that has contestants posting photos and stories chronicling their quests for the perfect beard. There's also merchandise to be bought: Noshember sweatshirts and beard head hats in a number of colors.

Another very important Noshember tradition... and one I do understand... is the charity component.  Those who participate have friends and relatives sponsor them (and their barbe) throughout the month to help raise money for a charity of their choosing.

Celebs like Keanu Reeves and Brad Pitt have been known to be a part of the event.  So why not professional golfers. The four above for example.  Each exemplary when it comes to giving  and each seems to have a certain affinity for stylistic manscaping, so why not. They've got to get started, Noshember begins tomorrow.

Oh, and LPGA players needn't feel excluded,  Noshember isn't just for guys. Girls are encouraged to participate as well, but um... I'm not going to go there.  Here are the rules for ladies.
