I play golf 4-5 times a week and have long been disappointed with the belts I buy use my pants/ golf shorts. I don't want to use my top shelf straps. The middle shelf and bottom shelf straps that I kept buying didn't hold up and/or didn't work. I found these military belts and bought two - black and brown. PERFECT. I wore this type of belt in the military for 20 years. They're simple in design, but they're rugged and work great.
