plastic bags over the socks!


ok bad idea.


When it's wet I usually just wear an extra pair of no show socks so they don't interfere with feeling too much but cover my feet.

I worked at a SportChek managing the Hargoods and Footwear Departments. To help with waterproofing we sold some aerosol sprays such as "Rain and Stain" protector or "Waterproofing" sprays. These will put a small coating over the existing outer of the shoe and they definitely do a good job beading water off the shoe in the short term but you'll have to re-apply it to keep up the protection. I used to spray all my new shoes and it really did help.

We did sell the NikWax products as well but mostly just for winter coats so not sure about their shoe products however the jacket wash-ins have a really good reputation and most outdoor/camping stores should have a fairly good selection.

go to the timberland store. there's this rub on stuff that you treat suede and leather with. rub that in & buff it out. it's AWESOME. you see the water sheet right off like you just waxed a car.

If it's regular water-proofing on like sneakers, then just use one of those spray ons that you can pick up from foot locker or foot action.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
