Most Great Golfers Own A White Belt
« on: April 11, 2010, 09:27:48 AM »


  Look at those good rounds turned in by those guys with the white belts at The Masters. In the 70's white belts outnumbered the others 5:1. I bet the winner today has one.

I own two white belts. Wore one when I played on Friday. They're very stylish. But the person wearing the belt has to be stylish enough to pull it off; Tom Lehman isn't stylish enough to wear one, Tom Watson is (though he might not choose to wear one).

John,
I agree that the person must be stylish and the person should also have a good golf game if they were a white belt.  They actually should have a warning tag on the label saying : If you buy this belt, you must not only wear it with grace, you also must have a hell of a round! ;D

Rick-you don't have to play really great, you just have to at least have one part of your game that is exceptional. Like on Friday, I didn't play great for the front nine, but I hit 3 drives over 325 yards, got one out to 360. So that keeps me from looking like a fool while wearing a white belt with white/blue seersucker pants and white shoes.

Just tell me when and where; I'll do everything I can to be there. I've wanted to play the last two years, it just hasn't worked out for me to be there.

I like your style John ;D  By the way, if you hit a drive over 300 yards, your assured a place in the White Belt Hall of Fall and you have every right to wear that with pride.

I have a RED belt as well. That one is for really special occasions.

Pat-I can't help if that you're as style challenged as Judge Smails and Tom Lehman.  ;) ;D  I've got as much style as Ian Poulter, just without enough spare cash to buy those awesome outfits of his... :'(

Pat-That 1999 Sunday Ryder Cup shirt is the classiest thing ever. I wish I had 2. Might be a little worn out now, but man that thing was awesome. I'd have worn it for sure. Now as for the rest, well, I just can't help you there. ;D

Side note...

How many guys are now breaking out their old David Duval Oakleys now that Tiger is rocking essentially the same look in between shots?

 8) before they falloff the face of the earth..  where's baddeley? arguably the inter-decade re-inventor of the so-called style..

half the kids (less than 26 year olds)  i see playing have one..  skinny or not..  victims of fashion ::)

I had one of those watches too.  :)   I need to get another set of those glasses, I can't play with the Oakley's I have now, I can see the lens line when I set up over the ball.


I think Poulter might be wearing a pink belt, to go with those pink plaid pants and pink shoes. That man has some real style.
