I especially hate fumbling around trying to find a coin or distinguish between tees and the ball mark tool. Totally disrupts my concentration, fragile as it is.<\/p>\n<p>This year I went so far as to try those ball markers that you clip on the bill of your cap. My PGA pro friend thought it looked a little too LPGA. While I remained secure in my masculinity, I gave up after losing a few of them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/greenfriendlygolf.com\/\" title=\"Green Friendly Golf home\" class=\"external external_icon\">Green Friendly Golf<\/a> has come to the rescue with a belt that incorporates not only a ball marker, but also a tool that&#8217;s been specially designed to conform to the technique experts now recommend for fixing ball marks. Here&#8217;s the story on the belt and the technique&hellip;<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<strong>The Idea<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile attending the 1999 Ryder Cup in Brookline, Rick Schad, a designer by trade, noticed the fancy belts the players were sporting and then had one of those &#8220;aha&#8221; moments. Grabbing a Post-it note, he sketched a belt tip that incorporated a ball mark repair tool and ball marker.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/b\/imgs\/apparel\/green_friendly_logo.jpg\" height=\"80\" width=\"250\" alt=\"Green Friendly Golf\" \/>Then began the hard part as he and his two partners, Akim Msumba and Stephen Walsh, formed a company, refined the design, found suppliers, and finally launched their product.<\/p>\n<p>They did a good job. Today, <a href=\"http:\/\/greenfriendlygolf.com\/\" title=\"Green Friendly Golf\" class=\"external external_icon\">Green Friendly Golf<\/a> belts are carried by two of America&#8217;s most prestigious national retailers, are endorsed by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenfriendlygolf.com\/content\/view\/38\/59\/\" title=\"Jeanne Cho and Pam Crikelair\" class=\"external external_icon\">Jeanne Cho and Pam Crikelair<\/a> of <em>The Big Break<\/em> fame, and also have received the endorsement of the <a href=\"http:\/\/pcaworldwide.com\/\" title=\"Professional Caddies Association\" class=\"external external_icon\">Professional Caddies Association<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And, interestingly enough, a Green Friendly Golf belt showed up on the waist of one J.B. Holmes in the cover story photo in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenfriendlygolf.com\/holmes.pdf\" title=\"June 2006 Golf Digest Cover\" class=\"external external_icon\">June 2006 issue of <em>Golf Digest<\/em><\/a>. Kevin Na was seen sporting one at this year&#8217;s Korean Open.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Belts<\/strong><br \/>\nThe men&#8217;s belts are beautiful full grain leather, double stitched, with an embossed &#8220;croc&#8221; pattern. They come in either black or cognac. I think they&#8217;re pretty classy looking with the silver buckle and all. Sizes range from 32&#8243; to 44&#8243; in two-inch increments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/b\/imgs\/apparel\/green_friendly_mens_belt.jpg\" height=\"233\" width=\"490\" alt=\"Green Friendly Mens Belt\" class=\"flushleft\" \/><br \/>Quality leather and rich nickel plated hardware make for a classy look.<\/p>\n<p>As one might expect, the ladies&#8217; line is a lot more colorful. Actually, one of these belts might be just the ticket for fashion conscious males who want to make more of a Camillo Villegas-like sartorial statement.<\/p>\n<p>The only tricky part of that is that the sizing is a little different. Perish the thought a woman should have to acknowledge her actual waist size in inches. So the sizing runs this way: small (28&#8243;-30&#8243;), medium (31&#8243;-33&#8243;), large (34&#8243;-36&#8243;), and x-large (37&#8243;-38&#8243;).<\/p>\n<p>Trust me, if your waist is any bigger than that, you don&#8217;t want to be wearing a pink belt anyway. A man&#8217;s got to know his limitations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/b\/imgs\/apparel\/green_friendly_ladies_belts.jpg\" height=\"227\" width=\"490\" alt=\"Green Friendly Ladies Belts\" class=\"flushleft\" \/><br \/>Smooth leather instead of croc-embossed, the ladies&#8217; belts come in hues to make even Ian Poulter drool.<\/p>\n<p>One other note on sizing: Green Friendly Golf recommends you use a belt one size up from your actual waist size. Thus, a 36&#8243; inch waist needs a 38&#8243; belt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Tool<\/strong><br \/>\nAs the picture below shows, the tool slides out from the tip of the belt. On the backside is a notch to hold the magnetized ball marker. The tool and belt buckle are all nickel plated to prevent rust.<\/p>\n<p>According to Schad, a key objective in the design was to come up with a ball mark repair tool that did the job the way it&#8217;s supposed to be done.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/b\/imgs\/apparel\/green_friendly_belt_tip.jpg\" height=\"144\" width=\"250\" alt=\"Green Friendly Belt Tip\" \/>The result is a tool with relatively short, slim tines to prevent going too deep and damaging the roots. The small handle discourages prying up the turf, a definite no-no according to, among others, the USGA, the PGA Tour, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/gcsaa.org\/\" title=\"GCSAA\" class=\"external external_icon\">Golf Course Superintendents Association of America<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What I didn&#8217;t know until our omniscient editor, Erik, <a href=\"http:\/\/thesandtrap.com\/bag_drop\/the_other_stuff_in_your_bag\/\" title=\"Other Stuff in your Bag\">pointed it out<\/a> to me is that prying up the mark tears the roots and kills the grass. Instead, what you&#8217;re supposed to do is insert the tool outside the mark and then twist the sod toward the center of the mark. Do that all around the ball mark until the gap is closed and then tamp the mark down with your putter.<\/p>\n<p>You know you&#8217;ve done the job correctly when you would putt over it without qualm.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s actually easier to do than it is to imagine. Much fuller explanations can be found on the GCSAA site right <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gcsaa.org\/resources\/facts\/ballmarks.asp\" title=\"GCSAA instructions\" class=\"external external_icon\">here<\/a> or the Green Friendly instructions <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenfriendlygolf.com\/content\/view\/46\/99\/\" title=\"Green Friendly instructions\" class=\"external external_icon\">here<\/a>. Erik&#8217;s home course superintendent even has an <a href=\"http:\/\/lakeviewcc.com\/turfcare\/etiquette\/repairing_ball_marks.php\" title=\"Online Guide to Ball Mark Repair\" class=\"external external_icon\">online guide to ball mark repair<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the End&hellip;<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you&#8217;ve read this far, you&#8217;re either into clothes or agronomy. Either way, I salute you. Looking good is equally important with keeping the putting surfaces on your course in pristine condition.<\/p>\n<p>You can find Green Friendly Golf belts at select Brooks Brothers and Nordstrom stores or you can purchase them from online sources you can find <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenfriendlygolf.com\/content\/view\/60\/89#onlinepartners\" title=\"Green Friendly Online Dealers\" class=\"external external_icon\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While I have yet to try one out, I can only imagine reaching to my waist and whipping out the divot tool like some riverboat gambler drawing a derringer. Take that, you dratted ball mark! And, all the while, my pants didn&#8217;t fall down. Very cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes a clever idea solves more than one problem.
