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.

Best bet it to stop ball hocking every water hole and you should be fine.

      Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
