Great news following my last round of golf, testing a nice new belt: My pants didn’t fall down! That’s what belts do, right? They keep your pants from falling down? In today’s golf world they do more than that. Belts are a statement about the player and his/her style. Lets take a look at the latest leather belts from ECCO. Yes ECCO, the maker of some of the best golf shoes on the planet.
ECCO golf owns their own tanneries so they can be in control of every step of the shoe making process, and now belts. Ecco’s belts are simple and very classy looking. The buckle is an enamel filled square with a modest “Ecco” logo.
Colors
There are three colors available: off-white, rich espresso and deep black. My model is the rich espresso. That’s fitting because I have about three rich espressos every morning.
Conclusion
At $100 retail, this may be a little outside the budget of some golfers. That being said, this is a case of “you get what you pay for” at its best. The new ECCO leather belts are super-stylish, made from high quality materials and best of all keep your pants from falling down.
Father’s Day alert!
This belt would be a perfect Father’s Day gift. I’ll be adding the ECCO men’s leather belts to the annual HOG Father’s Day golf gift guide soon.

Testing golf equipment is tough duty. Someone has to do it. Yesterday I did my first golf round of testing on the 2013 Upright Caddy 4-wheeled push cart/trolley. I say “trolley” for those of you in the UK…
I’ve reviewed various models of the RASR (also the RACR) and really like the upright bag positioning. It makes club access and bag access very easy. I’ve got more testing on this unit before I post my full review, but wanted to do a preview with a photo to get the ball rolling, or cart rolling, so to speak.
Stay tuned for my 2013 RACR review soon.
It is the week of the PGA Tour’s PLAYERS Championship. Remember to always write “PLAYERS” in all caps. It’s what they do.
This is the unofficial “5th major” on the PGA Tour. I just hope the Tour doesn’t get any bright ideas like the LPGA did and actually make it a 5th major, because it isn’t a major. That’s a discussion for another day.
I’m teeing off on the very fun #10 at TPC Sawgrass. Nice draw, shaped with the layout of the hole! – Click for more Sawgrass photos
For now, here’s a link to my TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course review which I posted back in May of 2011. What a fun track. If I had one word to describe the course it would be “big.” It is a big course.
