Today was a rather entertaining Sunday round of golf in my regular group. One of my playing partners a.k.a. opponents was having some pants scripting issues. It seems he was given a pant script when it should have been a shorts script. During the front nine, his pants were driving him nuts for some reason.
At the turn we stopped at the cafe for our usual drinks, food, and pit stop. Upon meeting back up on the 10th tee, the pant script challenged player had apparently changed to shorts, until I looked closer:
The latest shorts from Puma or Dunning? Perhaps not…
He actually borrowed some scissors from the pro shop and cut his pants off. I’m a firm believer of “whatever it takes to shoot a good golf score” and his new cutoffs worked. He played much better on the back nine.
Not sure what part of his clothing he will cut off next Sunday…
While on vacation hiking and exploring southern Utah’s beautiful red rock country I stopped by with my aerial photo copter and caught a couple of pics of Sunbrook Golf Course in St. George, Utah.

Sunbrook is a great 27-hole municipal course. Each nine has its own unique style, including a nine which goes through lava rock.

One of my three (yes I have three) home courses is finally getting an automated irrigation system. Bonneville Golf Club, Utah’s most popular municipal course and one of my top favorites, has been hand watered since it opened in 1929. The course is a bit of a war zone right now. It really does look like this hole pictured below, the par-5 16th, has been hit by some bombs.
Bonneville’s Par-5 15th Hole Irrigation
If you’re looking to play Bonneville the next few weeks (May/June 2015) keep this work under consideration. Some holes are cut short or skipped. In lame fashion they’re still charging full price, so buyer beware.
I try to avoid posting the same material that many other golf sites do but this time I MUST post this video. The most interesting man in the golf world is without a doubt Miguel Angel Jimenez. Today his legend grew even more as he made an ace to win 288 bottles of beer on the European Tour at the Open De Espana.
Part of the celebration included a Chi Chi Rodriguez sword sheathing along with a dance that could rival Michael Jackson’s best moves…
Hats off to Miguel Angel Jimenez.
Belt reviews can be tough. One must be willing to ask the hard-hitting question, “will my pants fall down?”
Fortunately in the case of the Beltology “Silver Spoon” belt, it has done its job well. I’ve managed to keep my pants on.
Beltology’s $60 Silver Spoon belt is a weaved waxed cotton fabric belt which comes in the color combination navy/white/red. The trim where the buckle is attached is full grain brown leather while the buckle is polished nickel.
The belt is very comfortable and flexible. The mesh pattern serves as a sort of elastic. The elasticity of the belt allows for great movement and comfort in the golf swing and during other times a non flexible belt can cause discomfort, like bending over to tee up the ball or pick the ball up out of the hole after a birdie putt.
Sizes vary for the Silver Spoon from 30 to 40 inch waists.
Speaking of waist size, the way the fork in the buckle goes through the belt allows the wearer to fine tune the fit. Unlike belts which have preset holes, you can tighten exactly to the desired length.
Conclusion
The Beltology Silver Spoon is unique looking and original. The fit is great and the flexibility keeps the belt from being a negative factor in the golf swing. Best of all, it does its job.
Consider this belt as a Father’s Day golf gift, golf birthday gift, or golf Christmas gift!
