Personally, I think you should all meet in the middle with a piano belt.  Black and White, done.  Plus you can all dance in a circle to Michael Jackson...it's black...it's white...yeah yeah yeah.

I don't see why one can't wear a white belt.   wear one and I have been for a long time.  Looking good when playing golf shows respect for the game.  Some of us are hackers who hate others who are better player.  Because a hacker can't beat you, he has to find other ways to put you down.  Let your game speak for you and not your mouth.  Cali

The fact that anyone has an issue with white belts is laughable. Come on people, get a little sense of style. Seeing old guys on the golf course wearing baggy pleated khaki dockers and oversize navy blue polo shirts is depressing. White belts are fashionable and contemporary. They also look classy when paired with the correct shoes and overall outfit. They look a hell of a lot nicer than the old brown leather braided belts some of you guys are probably still wearing. Look good, feel good, play good.

I guess we all have a little to much time on our hands.  I am not sure what is more depressing the fact that this thread was even started?  or the fact there are 113 replies to it?  Or the fact that I just wasted 10 minutes of my morning reading the first 3 pages?  I have a 36 inch waist and I own a white Puma belt....I wasn't sure if I looked stupid but now I know I do.....Belt is going in the trash thanks guys I am glad this is cleared up, it is a huge weight off my shoulders.

I just can not look that flashy out on the range.

Black or Grey slacks, once in a while black or gray shorts.

White, black or Blue polo I don't tuck it in.

White and Black Nike Shoes

Black socks

Black, white or blue hat.

Black and White bag.

I like everything simple maybe one day i will get a more colorful shirt or bag?

I know a bit boring.

I like a white belt with white pants, solid color polo, (mostly) white shoes. To me that's pretty conservative golf attire.

Along with the ban on anchoring belly putters, the USGA is considering a ban on male golfers over age 40 wearing white belts.

Focus, connect and follow through!

And female golfers under the age of 30 will be prohibited from wearing long pants.

I'll have to stock up on those "eggshell" belts for five years from now then.

Hey now, I bought my very first white belt* at 43! Mid-life crisis, probably -- but cheaper than a Harley and/or 25-year-old dental hygienist.

Just don't wear the pants and belt way above the naval.  That is the warning sign of "old man golfer" disease.

    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.   
    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death. 
    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area? 
    • I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
