Way back when, I gave a dress talk for mainly first year officials at a chapter meeting. We did it at a meeting where everyone was there so (hopefully) the guys that still had been around for a while would eventually get the message, as some of them had bad dressing habits.
Anyway, I've never been a big shiny shoes guy. Clean and even polished, yes. Shined to the point of being able to shave in their reflection? No. However, I knew plenty of guys that were that way, and that's fine. One game I had in a 3 man crew, one of the guys had used that spray shine on his shoes so much, for some reason, when he pulled them out of the bag to get dressed, they were stuck together! We pulled on them for a minute or so and LUCKILY got them apart without damage. So, if the PL solves that one problem that occurs once every hundred thousand or so man games, I'm all for it!
I strongly recommended beltless slacks. Mainly because there is a better consistency among the makers of black beltless slacks than there is for belt loops. But, I know some guys like belts or feel more comfortable in them. Nowadays, microfiber golf slacks are available with belt loops only, so guys that want lighter pants are forced to wear them. The only thing that MUST be insisted upon is to NOT wear a PL belt with black slacks. Any other color is fine, but black slacks need a dull finished belt so it doesn't show up well.
