Green Friendly Golf Belt Review
Green Friendly Golf Men’s Classic Series Belt
Grade: A
Teacher’s Comments: A brilliant idea
I received a Green Friendly golf belt in the mail the other day and was immediately impressed by the design and engineering. From first appearances just another fine quality leather belt, the Green Friendly Belt hides a clever secret.
As shown in the photo at left, the metal tip of the belt slides out to reveal a forked ball mark tool. On the reverse side of the tool is a small, magnetic ball marker.
It’s a wonderful idea, beautifully executed. Leaving my mark tool and ball marker behind in the car now is a thing of the past. I just make sure that I’m wearing the belt before heading to the course. It also helps keep a pointy tool from sticking me in the leg when I swing.
If there’s one concern that I have, it’s with the ball marker. It’s very small, and I’m not convinced that—over the long haul—it will stay on the back of the metal tip. It would have been much better, I think, to have figured out a way to move it to a position where it stays inside the belt until needed. I"m afraid that, as I walk about, the tip will flop and the marker will come off. It hasn’t happened yet, but ...
The Green Friendly Golf Belt would make a great gift for the golfer in your life.

I agree completely with you on the styling and utility of the belt and also agree that the ball marker is too small. That being said I’ve played several rounds of golf now and have not lost the marker, the magnet is very strong, and have gotten used to the small size but would strongly prefer a bigger marker. Lastly the divot repair tool is perfect for fixing divots, push it in the ball mark make two maybe three side to side turns and the mark is perfectly repaired.

Actually, I just remembered another concern. When I acquired the belt, they sent one a size larger than my normal, telling me that the belts ran small. They don’t. One size larger is pretty much unwearable for me.
