After seeing Sandy Lyle wear suspenders at the Masters, I feel that gives everybody a free pass to wear any color belt they want.

It would be so cool if Sandy wore white suspenders!

If you have won the Masters and are old enough to collect social security, you get a pass.

Everybody else, not so much…

I am not a psychologist but I have encountered enough, on television and in print, to offer an opinion on the subject.  Wearing a white belt can indicate several things...or not.  It really depends on the circumstances surrounding the individual.  

1)  It could be a part of a uniform.  The guy cops on television shows based in the tropics often wear white belts and might, without really thinking about it, wear the same belts when they hit the links.

2)  The white belt could be a gift.  As such...one might feel obligated to wear it once in a while.

3)  One may have grown up when wearing white belts was normal (along with white shoes) and thus think nothing of it.

4)  It may be one of the few belts one owns.  I own two...one tan and one red.  If I owned a white belt I would probably wear it from time to time.

5)  Or it could be a twisted cry for help.  Although it would be more efficient to simply ask for help...we do not always think clearly when distressed.

6)  Lastly...it is possible that some people like white belts.  There is, after all, no accounting for taste.

Take-one-do it is... Can't see any other season I would wear one.. 😋

White belts should have died with apple hats, plaid pants and the rest of those hideous 70's fashions. (But keep the ladies hip huggers and halter tops)

Ha Ha! BTW, never look at an ad for underwear. It will haunt you forever.

Now that I know that white belts bother everyone, I'm going to get one for match play events.

No white belts for me - not that trendy. I answered accordingly that I’m a slob and can’t pull it off

And when you win a hole slip that thing out of your belt loops and snap it at the putt you just made... that'll really get into your opponent's head.

I wear a white belt if I am wearing white shoes occasionally. I tend to match shoes and belts. Most of the time my shirt isn't tucked in so no one would see it anyway. I don't really care what people think about it but@Piz
I see a lot worse clothes worn on a regular basis on the golf course. Guys wearing jeans, corduroy pants, golf sweat shirts from 1981 and pleated pants! Pleated pants should be banned and burned in every capacity. People make a big deal about a white belt and there's million worse atrocities on the golf course.

Hey, I wear corduroy pants in very cold weather!  Though never wear them in the rain... they can gain up to 30 pounds!  And don't worry about the white belts... they'll be trending back in in 20 years.  And I'll be able to wear my double-breasted suit again, too.

Don't worry, I'll feel ashamed for you.😁 Well I just let you know corduroy is not okay. You're welcome 👍

Clearly. You should get a matching jacket with elbow patches too.
