| Druh Golf Belts & Buckles Congratulates Captain McGinley on Vivendi Trophy Victory
Thursday, 8 October 2009
Druh Belts & Buckles has sent a message of congratulation to Paul McGinley, Captain of the Great Britain and Ireland, following the team’s recent victory in the Vivendi Trophy with Seve Ballesteros in Paris.
Great Britain and Ireland overcame Continental Europe, captained by Dane Thomas Bjorn, for the fifth successive time with a convincing scoreline of 16 ½ points to 11 ½ points over four days of competition at the Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche Golf Club.
“Great Britain and Ireland pulled off a great win last month in France and I am particularly pleased for Paul, a great friend of mine, who obviously fulfilled the role of Captain of Great Britain and Ireland extremely well,” commented former European Tour golfer Simon Hurd, founder of Druh Belts & Buckles.
“From Druh’s perspective we are also enormously proud of Paul’s achievement as he is an ambassador for Druh Belts & Buckles, another role which he carries out with great style and aplomb,” concluded Hurd.
Druh Belts have quickly become the must-have accessory for professional and amateur players both on and off the golf course and are now proving attractive to sportsmen in other fields.
Top European Tour players Robert Karlsson, David Howell and Graeme Storm are already wearing and loving Druh Belts whilst American John Daly recently joined forces with Druh to produce a range that will feature the Wild Thing’s recognisable “lion” logo on the buckle.
In cricket, a number of the England team including Captain Andrew Strauss, Stuart Broad, James Anderson, Graeme Swann and Matt Prior, who won The Ashes back from Australia in the summer, have also taken to wearing Druh Belts & Buckles.
Launched a year ago, Druh Belts & Buckles are handmade and feature leather and snakeskin belts in sumptuous classic and chic casual styles. The Druh leather belt range comes in ten water snakeskins, ranging from turquoise to pink and 14 leathers in different embossed styles, from crocodile to ostrich effect. Druh’s interchangeable buckles in brushed nickel, polished silver or gold mean the belts can be customised to the individual.
Druh Belts retail at US$200 (circa £135) for snakeskin and $100 (circa £70) for leather and guarantees that the snakes used in production are not a protected species. Each belt ordered comes with your selected buckle & strap plus a standard buckle and is stylishly gift wrapped in a drawstring pouch so ideal to give as a present.

EQUIPMENT - DRUH BELTS AND BUCKLES
21 Sep 2009 - 06:45:02
As every golfer knows, attention to detail is vital if you want to build an impressive all-round game. There's no point having a thumping drive if you never practice from a bunker.
The same could be said of golfing fashion. If you're anything like Golf.co.uk's editor you probably have a couple of passable shirts and a couple of pairs of respectable trousers. You throw one on and off you go. After all, wants to waste time in front of the mirror when there's golf to played (badly)?
But a package arrived from Druh buckles and belts last week that has transformed the Golf.co.uk team into the biggest accessory advocates this side of Trinny and Susannah.
It takes merely 20 seconds to strap one of these stylish numbers around your waist. But with one simple addition you suddenly looks like a player who pays attention to detail. It's the next best thing to spending three hours on the range.
Druh belts and buckles is the brainchild of English Tour pro Simon Hurd, who saw a gap in the market and went into business with a Thai entrepeneur he met on the Asian Tour.
Visit the website and you can design your own belt, choosing the strap and buckle that best suits your personal golf style. Leather and snakeskin are among the options for the former, with the classic DB logo available in an array of style for the buckle. There are also a couple of new addition 'Lion' buckles that have been inspired by John Daly.
Tour pros Paul McGinley, Jamie Donaldson and David Howell are among the ever-growing band of Druh disciples. Alan Shearer, Ian Wright and Matt Dawson also strap them on when they hit the course.
"I have over 50 Asian golfers, 60 European golfers, two current Ryder Cup players and six major winners wearing the belts...and they’re all paying customers!" Hurd said.
Cost: Druh Belts retail at US$200 (circa £135) for snakeskin and $100 (circa £70) for leather and guarantees that the snakes used in production are not a protected species. Each belt ordered comes with your selected buckle & strap plus a standard buckle and is stylishly gift wrapped in a drawstring pouch so ideal to give as a present.

Ashes Icons Bowled Over by Druh Belts & Buckles
Posted on 08/09/09. By Helen Heady
A host of Ashes icons from the England cricket team have been bowled over by Druh Belts & Buckles and will soon be seen sporting the funky, yet stylish belts with the recognisable ‘db' buckles.
 Captain Andrew Strauss, Stuart Broad, James Anderson, Graeme Swann, Ryan Sidebottom and Matt Prior will celebrate a summer of success on the cricket pitch by making sure they look good off the pitch by wearing their own personal favourite Druh Belt & Buckle.
"I absolutely love the Druh Belts range and the colours are just amazing," comments fast bowler Stuart Broad, who was named man of the match as England reclaimed the Ashes with victory in the final Test against Australia at The Oval in August. "They're perfect to wear on a casual night out with jeans or with chinos and a jacket for a more formal look that is just a bit different."
Druh Belts & Buckles, founded by former European Tour golfer Simon Hurd, have quickly become the must-have accessory for professional and amateur players both on and off the golf course and are now proving attractive to sportsmen in other fields.
Top European Tour players Robert Karlsson, David Howell and Paul McGinley are already wearing and loving Druh Belts whilst American John Daly recently joined forces with Druh to produce a range that will feature the Wild Thing's recognisable "lion" logo on the buckle.
"Whilst I originally designed Druh Belts & Buckles for golfers to wear both on and off the course, the brand obviously appeals to any sportsman who likes to dress well and look good when relaxing away from their given sport," comments Simon Hurd, founder of Druh Belts & Buckles, which feature the now familiar DB logo. "It's a huge compliment to me personally that several members of the triumphant England team that secured this summer's Ashes have chosen to wear Druh and I very much hope that they're enjoying the experience."
Launched under a year ago, Druh Belts & Buckles are handmade and feature leather and snakeskin belts in sumptuous classic and chic casual styles. The Druh leather belt range comes in ten water snakeskins, ranging from turquoise to pink and 14 leathers in different embossed styles, from crocodile to ostrich effect.

By Bob Warters
'Wild Thing' signs up with Druh"
Double major winner John Daly has signed up with former European Tour pro Simon Hurd to launch and wear a new range of distinctive Druh belts and buckles. 
The Druh brand - Simon's surname transposed - is already attracting high profile attention around the slim waists of Tour pros including Paul McGinley, David Howell and Robert Karlsson but with the introduction of the Druh John Daly belts and lion buckles complimenting 'Wild Thing's' loudmouth trousers, the product line is certain to prove a big hit.
Indeed 18 players at The Open sported Druh products, including silver medal winner Matteo Manassero from Italy.
"John Daly is a legend in his own lifetime so Druh Belts are delighted to have joined forces with him to develop a range of lion belts,” says Simon Hurd. “Given his high profile and the legion of fans he has attracted from around the world, I am confident that the John Daly range will be highly prized.”
The funky, stylish handmade leather (£135) and water snakeskin (£70) Druh belts are made in classic and chic casual styles in a wide range of colours, including turquoise and pink. Buckles are made in brushed nickel, polished silver or gold are interchangeable and presented in a drawstring pouch.

Druh Belts & Buckles Promise to Take Golf
Market by Storm
Druh Belts & Buckles, a unique range of stylish belts and buckles, were launched internationally at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando and now promise to take the golf market by storm in 2009.
The brainchild of Touring Professional Simon Hurd of England, Druh* Belts & Buckles have up until now been the golf professionals' style secret with six Major winners, two current Ryder Cup players, 60 European Tour players and over 50 Asian Tour players all paying customers, wearing and loving Druh Belts & Buckles.
Hurdy, as he is known on Tour, has in the past been known for the distinctive and colourful pork pie hats he dons on the golf course. But not for much longer as his Druh Belts & Buckles offer the discerning golfer a selection of stylish handmade leather and snakeskin belts in sumptuous classic and chic casual styles.
Already his designs in classic black and browns and funky pastels and metallics are spreading like wildfire amongst the vaulted ranks of Touring Pros and three-time Ryder Cup winner and multiple champion on The European Tour, Paul McGinley, has been signed up as a Druh Belts & Buckles ambassador.
"Even as a golf pro, I have always taken an interest in fashion both on and off the golf course, so it seemed a natural sideline for me to go into," says Hurdy, a smart dresser with well-tailored attire. "In fact I have been dressed by William Hunt of Savile Row, London, for the past three years and I soon realised that looking smart means playing smart.
"I have a particular passion for belts and traveling the world, I have always found it difficult to find stylish, good quality belts. So I started designing my own and commissioned a local leather craftsman in Thailand to handmake them. So many friends and fellow golfers liked them that I decided it wouldn't be a bad idea to start a business out of it.
"Golf gear is often perceived as rather staid and dull so I wanted to have a bit of fun designing belts and buckles that were a little bit funky, yet stylish, and certainly they have been an instant hit with pro golfers all over the world. And now it is the chance for all those amateurs out there to smarten up their golf look with one of my Druh belts!"
The leather belt range is handmade in ten water snakeskins, ranging from turquoise to pink and 15 leathers in different embossed styles, from crocodile to ostrich effect. Druh's interchangeable buckles in brushed nickel, polished silver or gold mean their belts can be customised to look smart on or off the course.
Available through the internet at www.druhbeltsandbuckles.com allows golfers to design their own unique belt by choosing their own belt and buckle combination.
When not selling his Druh Belts & Buckles, Hurd is now a regular on the Asian Tour after playing on The European Tour on and off for the last 10 years. He is still looking for his first win in the Far East. Last season he was ranked 49 th in the Order of Merit after finishing second in 2006 at the Aamby Valley Asian Masters in India in his rookie season.
Druh Belts retail at US$150 for snakeskin and $100 for leather and guarantees that the snakes used in production are not a protected species.

Belt up and add some ssstyle to your game
Wed, February 4th, 2009 - By Jon
There’s a new player in the golf clothing market and they’re hot! New company Druh Belts and Buckles have just launched with a brand new range of stylish belts and buckles which you’ll probably see all over the place from now on.
I really like these new breeds of companies producing high style products. It’s nice to get away from the Pringl e jumper image of golf and move things forward a bit!
Companies like Bunker Mentality and Druh can offer you something decent and individual to wear on and off the course which is great.
Druh is the brainchild of Touring Pro, Simon Hurd of England and Hurd spelt backwards is? You’ve got it, Druh. Clever huh? Well ok, not that clever but it’s a nice name. The company already has lots of followers in the pro world with six Major winners, two current Ryder Cup players, 60 European Tour players and over 50 Asian Tour players all paying customers, wearing and loving Druh Belts & Buckles.
I’m not sure they’ll attribute their playing success to the belts but you never know – it would be a good press release… “Magical belt ensures golfing success”. Hmmm, maybe not.
Hurdy, as he is known on Tour, is usually known for his distinctive pork pie hats he dons on the golf course. He’s making the change to magic belts though as it seems the way to go. Alright, I’ll drop the magic belt thing…
 Seriously though the belts are super cool, handmade and are available in leather or snakeskin with a variety of “d b” buckles available to finish off the look. Multiple champ Paul McGinley has been signed up as an Ambassador for the brand which will sell the belts at $100 for the leather version and $150 for the snakeskin. The snakeskin is also ethically sourced from non-protected species of sssssnakessss.
“Even as a golf pro, I have always taken an interest in fashion both on and off the golf course, so it seemed a natural sideline for me to go into,” says Hurdy, a smart dresser with well-tailored attire. “In fact I have been dressed by William Hunt of Savile Row, London, for the past three years and I soon realised that looking smart means playing smart.
I have a particular passion for belts and traveling the world, I have always found it difficult to find stylish, good quality belts. So I started designing my own and commissioned a local leather craftsman in Thailand to hand make them. So many friends and fellow golfers liked them that I decided it wouldn’t be a bad idea to start a business out of it.
Golf gear is often perceived as rather staid and dull so I wanted to have a bit of fun designing belts and buckles that were a little bit funky, yet stylish, and certainly they have been an instant hit with pro golfers all over the world. And now it is the chance for all those amateurs out there to smarten up their golf look with one of my Druh belts!”
The leather belt range is handmade in ten water snakeskins, ranging from turquoise to pink and 15 leathers in different embossed styles, from crocodile to ostrich effect. Druh’s interchangeable buckles in brushed nickel, polished silver or gold mean their belts can be customised to look smart on or off the course.
So if you fancy one, check out www.druhbeltsandbuckles.com where you can design your own unique belt and buckle combo.Nice !
