16 TST members and staff recently had the opportunity to pre-order and buy some custom-made TST belts from Mission.

http://missionbelt.com

Mission Belt donates $1 from each belt sold to micro loan programs to help with poverty and starvation. You can read more about that here and here .

But whether you're globally conscious or not, the belts are great. Full leather and ratcheting so there are no holes to wear out AND they offer 1/4 inch adjustments or so. Operation is smooth as well. Eat a big lunch? Let out a few clicks. Feeling slimmer? Click a few more.

Over the next few weeks you'll see Member Reviews of the belt on the product page (below three pictures in this post) as well as some more photos and experiences shared here in this thread. If there's enough interest, we'll open up a second round of purchases and order some more.

Ha, I'm wearing one now. I got mine about a month ago, though I dont have a "the sand trap" one, mine is just brushed steel buckle with a black belt. Really cool takes a little bit to get used to the release though but I love mine.

I love my Mission Belt. My wife bought me one after she saw them on Shark Tank. I've had it for a while and have had no issue. I like the TST buckle. Let me know when I can order one.

Good product.

Even better cause.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I got mine today too, looks great.  I love the Sand Trap buckle but the nicest feature is you don't have to worry about the belt getting those worn belt hole marks.  With this belt no one can tell based on looking at your belt if you've gained or lost a few pounds.

Always birdies and pars, Henry The room for improvement is vast that three lifetimes could be spent roaming the fairways,carving away at it, convinced that prefection lies just over the next rise. And that hope,perhaps,is the kindest bliss of all that golf bestows upon its devotees. - John Updike

Got black & brown. Looks great.

  • Quick to adjust compared to belts with eyelets.
  • Most belts with eyelets, eyelets are about 1cm apart. The ratchets w/these belts are probably 1/3 of a cm apart, much easier to get a not too tight, not too loose fit.
  • Like the matte-ish look of the buckle, TST insignia looks great.
  • Very easy to shorten, remove from buckle, snip, re-clasp. No problemo.

Most belts with holes are closer to an inch apart. I think these are 1/4 or 1/5 of an inch.

Looking forward to everyone's reviews!

Totally an inside joke. His belt did nothing to his wrist.

My review is up. Some may say I half-assed it, but I prefer to think of it as being short, sweet, and to the point. Good belt for sure.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 3 (August 13).  4' putting drill;  this is a modified version of the drill from LSW for short putting.   For context, in 2025, my strokes lost putting is more than 2 per round compared to the 15 handicap baseline, just on putts under 10'.  So that's a glaring weakness I think.  Anyway, so I set up 12 markers around a hole like a clockface, all coins, all face up.  I putt from each in turn, if I make it, I flip a heads over (or pick up if it's tails).  This means I have to make 24 putts eventually, ideally quickly.  It took me 38 attempts to do this, although 9 of the 12 coins were picked up either in the first or second go around.   Anyway, the baseline for a "90-golfer" (per Broadie description) is 37 attempts, so that's pretty good, but I'll keep trying to improve.  For anyone thinking about this, the number would be 30 for an average scratch player.   This was done on a real green at a nearby course's practice area.

      Course Ratings and Slope, Difficulty, and Hole Stroke Index

      By iacas · Posted

      That's not the right way to look at it, because you're not going to have a rating of 55 or something for even a 6500-yard par 72. There's a minimum rating (depending on the length), and then +s and -s to that. If a course has a bunch of +s and -s that even out, that doesn't mean the course rating is 100% the length. And what kind of math would it be if the course rating was lower than the formula: 103% length? 🙂
