Bite invented the golf sandal, but that’s not all they’ve got to offer. We check out a few of their shoes and highly recommend at least one of them.
FootJoy. Adidas. Ecco. Even Nike and Dexter. These are the names you think of when you think “golf shoes.” Bite? “Oh, they make those sandals, right?”
Not quite true. Though Bite is often credited as having invented the golf sandal, they’ve grown a bit since then. Bite now makes quite a few golf shoes. I recently had the opportunity to test two pairs on a golf trip to North Carolina. Here are my thoughts.
Eighteen holes of golf equates to about 4½ miles, make sure your feet are comfortable.
Most golfers don’t give their feet much thought. While many golfers buy expensive shoes, they often just throw on an old pair of socks and neglect the impact socks can have on comfort.
I’ve tried several different types of socks, and I always felt like I’ve had to sacrifice either cushioning or comfort with any brand I’ve tried. Some have been great at cushioning my feet, but they were too hot to get through a full round in leather golf shoes. Thinner socks kept my feet dry, but weren’t as comfortable over the long haul. On a recommendation from a friend, I tried out Nike’s Dri-FIT socks and I realized I can have the best of both worlds.
The Crocco Concho belt by Footjoy is hot on tour and in college.
Being a fashion–plate, as well as an avid watcher of golf on television, I have noticed that many of the pros seem to wear a similar distictive belt. You know the one, it’s black with the silver pointy tip and some small metallic plates around the side. Well, I finally stumbled across the hottest accessory on tour. The Crocco Concho belt, by Footjoy.
It appears that Tiger wears the Crocco belt as well as some of the other PGA top guns. Not only is it popular on the big boy tour, even these snot-nose college pukes are getting into the act. It’s practically part of the uniform now.
Beware the slick marketing message. Beware the not-so-slick message, too.
Do you have $40 to blow? You may want to check out these golf-ball finding glasses!
These golf-ball finding lenses, which block out 90% of long wavelength light (dark colors such as greens and browns) let shorter wavelength light (such as whites and yellows) pass through unimpeded, so that golf balls are easy to locate…
And here we thought white light was a mixture of all of the other colors of the spectrum. Silly us!
