The phrase "hats off to you" come to mind... Respectful and always do it after the round.

Lol what's a will Smith/jazz type handshake???Depends who I'm playing with.
If it's one of my best friends then nah we'll just do our Will Smith/Jazz type hand shake and walk off.
Now if I'm paired with randoms or friends who take off their hat and give a classy handshake then I'll do the same.
Makes no difference to me.

The removal of the hat and the current handshake originated with medieval Knights. They would lift the visor on their helmet and show their face as a sign of respect, and hold out their empty hand to show they held no weapon. The military salute evolved out of this custom, as did the removal of headgear indoors.
The history of the handshake dates back to the 5th century B.C. in Greece. It was a symbol of peace, showing that neither person was carrying a weapon. During the Roman era, the handshake was actually more of an arm grab. It involved grabbing each other’s forearms to check that neither man had a knife hidden up his sleeve. Some say that the shaking gesture of the handshake started in Medieval Europe. Knights would shake the hand of others in an attempt to shake loose any hidden weapons.

I've started to do it. Up north, it was the rarity when a player would remove his cap to shake hands. Here in NC it's way more likely than not to have players remove their hat or visor.
I don't ever remember making a conscious decision, but I've found myself removing my hat for a while now.
NY, munis... a rarity in my experience.Up north must be a relative term. I’m above the 45th parallel at my home in Minnesota and hats off has been followed for 95% of my rounds here in the last year, public or private clubs. In my 20 years in California, hats off was much, much less common.
... It's the little things in life isn't it? I see quite a few young people (although not all of them younger) that do not say thank you when I hold a door open for them. Respect may seem like a little thing but it is indicative of being aware of others and as many have already stated ... respectful. It isn't aways easy to remove your hat on 18. Cold or hot, it would be easier to leave it on. Those of us with hair have to re-arrange because hat head becomes apparent after removal and those without hair may just refer to keep their dome covered. So the little bit of extra effort, makes the gesture mean something and I think every little bit of kindness and respect for our fellow man is something we need to hang onto as long as we can.
