I just recently bought a pair of shoes.

Wondering how many of you guys clean them after each round.
If so, do you remove each spike and clean them thoroughly? Or do you just run a brush?

Slowly building my set.

I just bang them on the sidewalk to get the turf out but don't really clean mine since I'm still using my old Adidas. I imagine I would be taking better care of my FJ's.

Bought some Dryjoys. Should I be using a spike remover and cleaning them thoroughly? Or is a brush okay?

after every round I scrub with a wet brush, clean out the spikes, and wipe down the leather with a wet wash cloth. I have tour 360 LTDs and all white nikes. Somewhat anal with keeping my kicks clean (must be from all of the Jordans, Pennys, and retro nikes I have). But you know what they say, look good feel good...

My local course has an air hose at the cart return area that you could use to blow all the cr@p off of the bottom of your shoes. It works great and I think all golf courses should have them. Besides that I always wipe them down with a towel after every round. I don't like to bang them together or againts the concrete because the spikes always break off.

removing your spikes and cleaning them after every round is a pretty tedious task. Since dryjoys usually have Softspikes pre-installed, take a toothpick and dig out the grass that collects around each spike. and don't hesitate to install new spikes, since the older your spike, the harder it is to remove.

I bang them together if the bottoms are filled with grass. But other than that, I don't really clean them.

I never really clean my shoes and never have. If they get really muddy I'll wipe them off but not really clean them. Wiping down occasionally and cleaning grass/mud from spikes is the extent of what I do.

Its mostly a 'Whenever I feel like it' kind of thing. I have two different types of golf shoes that I switch on and off wearing- Nike black shoes, and some white, black, and brown shoes. I never clean the black shoes because I can't see any dirt on them , but I do clean the white, black, and brown shoes about once a month. I wipe the white parts down with some clorox disinfecting wipes.

I change the spikes about two times a year at the most. Thats all I ever need to do with my shoes.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
