I am in the market for some new shoes, but I am tired of laces.

I want a pair of shoes that I can keep in my bag and whip on just as fast as I can whip em off.  I go to the range a lot at lunch and I want to get in as much practice as possible so every second counts.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Try FootJoys BOA lacing system.  there are laces but they are not traditional, a knob in the back of the shoe allows you to tighten them and pulling out the knob releases the laces for easy removal.  I'm not sure how much time you spend tying your shoes, but the BOA lacing system will probably be quicker.

I'm sorry, but I gotta ask... does it really take you that long to tie your shoes? I mean, what, you might be able to hit one or two more balls if you didn't have to tie them?

If it's really that big of deal, get golf shoes that you can wear everywhere so you'll always have them on. Not sure what you do for work but I'm sure you can find a good spikeless shoe that would work. I actually where my Trues almost exclusively.

I think the time it takes me to tie my shoes I might be able to hit 1 or 2 balls, not enough lost time to warrant getting rid of laces IMO.

I agree with Tristan.  I just bought a pair of Ecco's that you could wear all day and to the golf course so you wouldn't have to waste time tying your shoes at the range but you would have to tie them sometime.  My buddy wears FJ's that have a wire for laces and you just turn the knob in the back and it tightens them, not sure of the model.

OK let me come clean.  I just hate to admit age is catching up with me.  You know the saying, "If I knew I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself."

Anyway between my bad knees and the arthritis in my hip it is a chore just to tie my shoes.  But you all bring up another question, spikes vs. spike less.  Pros and cons.

Thanks

The Ecco's you can wear all day.  I have worn them to work.  They don't hold the ground as well but they are VERY comfortable.

I had a pair of Footjoys with the knob on the back and caught the knob on the edge of the golf cart somehow.  Snapped the knob off, shoe was shot.  Thankfully I was able to exchange it for a pair with laces.

    • First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.  
    • I would think that 3 in a row with the same players might get some behind the scenes examination from the SCGA if they were suspect.  Are there any clubs questioning the results?
    • What simple fact? A golf match is not a coin flip — there is a fact for you. I'm trying to help you, and you're throwing out what could easily be called sour grapes. Come with FACTS, not weak analogies. Then you've got nothing. Hopefully they've done a better job of making their case. 😛 
    • It's pretty close. The odds of a 50/50 shot going your way 21 times are greater than 1 in a million!  I guess your point is, that simple fact is not enough to declare these guys dirty rotten sandbaggers. I disagree, but fair enough. I posted it here on the message board to get different perspectives, after all.  I probably won't be digging further into specific scores. I have no dog in this fight beyond a generalized contempt for sandbagging. With that said, it would not surprise if a lot of clubs shared my concern and were grousing about it to the SCGA.
