Wide Belts?

What's with the wide belt fetish that seems to be taking hold on the PGA Tour?   The last time I wore a wide belt was in the 1950s along with motorcycle boots, a white tee shirt and Wrangler's with rolled-up cuffs.

Wide white belts were very popular during the 1970s Disco period, many of today's tour players weren't even born then.   Camilo Villegas is one of the worst offenders with Anthony Kim running a close second.  

Perhaps these gaudy white belts, with the huge rhinestone studded buckles, will eventually make their way into the world of business fashion.   I may be square and a bit old fashioned but isn't this new trend a bit much?   Can't we just go back to the “thin skins?”
