White Belts Have No Place in This World

Ricky Barnes on Halloween

What is the deal with all the white belts on the PGA tour today? All of a sudden we have been subjected to the Far East – kareoke club – techno outfit – singing Duran Duran with an accent tool. Somehow, we went from a beer drinking & burger-eating stereotype to the Euro slim legged Ron Burgundy retro anchorman gig!! I take that back, if Ron burgundy was on tour that dude would be slaying more gallery faithful then Tiger on his best day and in style…with white Vans and a turtleneck to boot.

Anyway, somehow I got off the subject…..it was bad enough that you would see guys with the typical club outfit of whale belts and lobster shorts, but the white belt has taken things to an entirely new level or weirdness. Seriously, lets see a show of hands of who would have the balls to wear and outfit like Ian Poulter or Rory Sabatinni to their weekly match? You would get beat every which way till Sunday by your friends and if you didn’t then you need a new golf group. I challenge someone to show up like that and see what would happen….i’ll tell you what would happen !! You would be on the internet under the title ” No longer my friend due to his white belt” faster then having to buy drinks for all your buddies at the turn as a result of wearing that thing.

So, I think I have made it clear about my feelings on the new dress on the PGA tour !! Now the question remains – who is going to step up and face the music from the Golfmoolah faithful by sending us a pic of your rediculous outfit during one of your rounds? The deal should be the following: If anyone wins a tournament on the PGA wearing a white belt they are subjected to a post round interview asking them to describe their inspiration behind it…just so they sound as stupid as they look. I mean the guy who wears the cowboy hat and crazy shoes has a better look going on then that…even JD with those crazy pants can rock it…but for the love of god get rid of the white belt !!!
