Anyone have any good tips on cleaning golf shoes? I don't clean mine after every round or anything. But if I'm playing in a tournament, it'd be nice if I could get them a little cleaner than they are now. I usually just use a wet rag.

What's in my Sun Mountain C-130 bag:

Driver - Taylormade Superfast 2.0 TP 10.5
3 Wood - Taylormade Burner 15* REAX
Hybrid - Adams Idea Pro 18* GD YSQ-HL

Irons - Callaway X-18 4-PW

GW - Cleveland 588 51*

SW - Cleveland CG 12 56*

LW - Cleveland CG15 60*

Putter - Cameron Studio Style Newport 2

Depends in part on the color. If you have white shoes, you might want to brush them after every round. They'll end up light tan by end of season.

If you have leather upper shoes and get nicks in them, you would want to fill in with shoe dye before you polish them. Occasional polish on leather uppers would help extend the waterproofing.

Also, if you're playing in tournaments (multi-day), you need at least second pair of shoes. If you don't rotate them and they're damp with yesterday's dew and sweat, the shoes wear out a lot faster. Plus, the day-old moisture isn't that good for your feet. If it's really damp, you can actually get mold in the leather if you don't dry out the shoes. But, you need to air dry them in a cool place - hot air makes the leather brittle.

If you pick up trash in the spikes, the best way to clean spikes is with an air gun - blow the stuff out of the crevices.

Focus, connect and follow through!

Polish your golf shoes like you do your dress shoes. Have several pair, don't wear the same pair twice two days in a row, use shoe trees ...do what your Dad taught you to do.

I'll throw 'em in the wash machine with a load of towels and let 'em dry on the register in the winter or set outside in the sun in the summer.

If they're leather you can wash them as yo would dress shoes. If they're more sneaker-ish most sports stores (ie. Sports Authority, Dick's Sporting Goods) have some products for this in their shoe dept.

If you have 'sneaker-style' shoes and wash them in the washer which, depending on the construction of the shoe, is generally okay - DON'T PUT THEM IN THE WASHER. Big mistake. Destroys the leather, the rubber, everything. Not good. A dryer is kind of bad for your clothing too, and that's why a lot of 'nice' clothes don't go in the dryer.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
