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.

Beltology Silver Spoon Belt Review

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!

Today’s Shirt Script – First Look at Antigua’s Desert Dry Xtra-Lite Golf Polo

Today will be my first golf round test of the new Antigua Desert Dry Xtra-Lite Golf Polo. This is a “performance cotton” polo, very very light and comfortable. It should be great for the high summer temperatures coming up.

I’m usually more of a poly or spandex fabric guy when it comes to golf apparel, but this performance cotton is extremely comfortable. It will be interesting to see how it performs on the course, and how it handles some runs through the laundry cycle.

Stay tuned for my full review of this Antigua golf polo soon.

Golf Playing Order – Who Goes First?

A gentlemen recently asked me a question which he wasn’t sure was etiquette related or rules related. The question is about playing order. He wanted to know if it is a rule that the person who won the previous hole goes first, or just etiquette. This is actually a really good question and there are two basic answers, one for stroke play and one for match play.

Stroke Play

In stroke play it is common courtesy or etiquette for the person who shot the lowest score on the previous hole to go first. It is not a rule and if it speeds up play for other players to go first, in other words “ready golf,” then do it.

It is also common courtesy for the farthest player from the hole to go first but is also not a rule. In the interest of pace of play, or perhaps getting a tap-in putt out of the way of a longer putt, the closer player can and should go first. In my opinion “honors” is trumped by pace of play. Always go for the faster option!

Match Play

Match play is a different animal than stroke play with regards to playing order. In match play the person who won the previous hole must go first. Further, the person farther from the hole must go first. If another player goes out of order, his opponent(s) may require that his shot be replayed.

Defer?

The gentleman who asked the question also asked if a golfer who has the honor can “defer” playing first and make his opponent play first. The answer to this question is no.

Hats Off to Golf Courses Who Warn Customers of Bad Conditions or Aeration!

There is nothing more irritating than getting to the first green to find punch holes the size of Volkswagen Golfs. Courses that let you book a tee time and pay full price without warning you of these kinds of conditions deserve whatever lost business their douchiness causes.

Every golf course should do this as a courtesy to their customers. pic.twitter.com/3bth6XWtPs

I tip my hat and tip back my California red to my home course for not being one of those douchey courses. They warn the customers far in advance, and offer a discount for those who decided to come and play.

That’s how it should be done.

Well played River Oaks in Sandy, Utah. Nice birdie.
