White Belt?


Recommended Posts

I have been listening to the "Get a Grip with Max Homa and Shane Bacon" podcast and there was a comment they made about Adam Scott being the first to stop wearing the white belt in golf. 

Did I miss something? I have yet to own a white belt, but it certainly seems to be ever popular and goes well (seemingly) with a lot of outfits. What is your take?

I’ve got one and wear it occasionally. It should definitely be in your rotation.

I wear one all the time. I like the way it looks with some shorts & shirt combos and that's all that matters.

Nope. No white belt. I will give leeway in ONE instance: solid white pants/shorts. That’s it.

Isn’t he the fashion guy for golf digest? His outfits are way out of touch with a price point for most anyone. Also, I lost some respect for him when he said that you can wear a long sleeve under shirt under a short sleeve polo. I think that it’s a pretty athletic look and, as long as it matches, very stylish. I’d rather go out in that than a $300 merino wool sweater.

Wait you expect me to take fashion advice from a guy with TWO popped collars?

Yeah that's a big NO from me, dawg. 

I wear my collar up for a functional reason (minimize skin exposure aka skin cancer). Does that mean I HAVE to wear a white belt 😁

I have one, but have not wore it much in the past 5 years or so.  I'm with @PMookie about the solid white shorts (Hardly wear white shorts etiher). Maybe if I'm wearing lighter color shorts with a white shirt and white golf shoes, I think it would look good.  I don't mind them, but I feel like I don't see as many guys' wearing them.  To each his own though, if you feel like it looks good, who am I to say anything?   Just don't dress like Rickie Fowler circa 2010 or Ian Poulter circa anytime and I won't make fun of anyone.

White belts, and white pants, are great, work for a lot of different outfits, and a kind of uniform unique to golf.  But, they up the first tee pressure...if you're announcing to the world that you're a golfer, you better have some game to back it up!

Nothing wrong with a white belt. Just needs to be paired with white shoes IMO... I have a Nike belt that's double sided White/Grey. It's pretty much my go-to belt as I have white shoes that I'll wear on nicer days and grey shoes for those spring and fall Michigan days that leave them... not as grey...

For me, nope. Never.

I generally go by the rule to choose clothes for golf that I'd be just as comfortable wearing off the golf course. (Shoes, excepted, of course, though I do also have some spikeless shoes that are perfectly fine as off-course sneakers.)

Personally I don't care what other people think about how I dress - but that's just me. When other people start paying my mortgage then I will let them have an opinion on how I dress. I wear my everyday belt with golf shorts. I normally don't tuck my golf shirts in. Shirts that fit me well are always too short to tuck in without constantly messing with it (even with the strip inside the golf shorts meant to combat this issue) and if I buy shirts that are longer - they don't fit as well.

If you like it wear it - that's all that matters.

I wear a white belt at least half the time on the course: bought one as soon as I started golfing; and I believe I saw tiger with one in like 2011. White/grey/black are all “neutral” colors and match anything - according to my fashionista wife...
