Nothing sounds more relaxing than spending a day out on the golf course wearing a full suit of armor. This picture was taken at a masquerade golf tournament at the Parkridge Country Club near Los Angeles, California. If this guy is trying to work on his endurance, this is one way to go about it… but probably not the smartest. People today would never wear a suit of armor while playing golf, even as a joke, because it might end up hurting their game or themselves physically. Apparently, people weren’t as concerned as they are today and put having fun over winning.
