I have been away from the game for almost 10 years. Back surgery. Recently decided to try again. I need a pair of shoes. Most all the shoes I see are soft spikes. Are steel spikes not allowed any more? Is it up to the discreation of the course? Thanks for the help. cayrbee

Pretty much 100% of all courses you'll find are soft-spike only these days.

Is it possible to replace my old steel spikes with the new funky ones?

Most rubber spikes use a different thread than the old steel spikes. You'll likely need to buy new shoes.

Broke down & bought a new pair.

So what did you buy? Last October I bought a pair of Adidas 360's. Those are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. The first day I got them I walked 18 holes and no blisters or anything. In April I bought a pair of Dry Joys because they were on sale. They hurt for about 4 rounds.

What's in my bag
Driver: Taylor Made R7 425 9.5 degrees UST Proforce 65 shaft
3 Wood: Taylor Made V Steel 15 degrees
Taylor Made Rescue Dual 22 degrees (UST IROD shaft)
Irons: Mizuno MP-67 (bent 1 degree upright)Gap Wedge: Mizuno R Series Black Nickle 52 Sand Wedge: Mizuno R Series Black Nickle...

I work in a Pro Shop and I replace cleats all the time and I've not seen steel spikes in quite a spell. They damage floors and alot of times greens are damaged when folks drag their feet. I think they are history for sure.

Golf is not a game, it's a way of life!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Chris Brooks · Posted

      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.

      New, College Golfer Trying to Go Pro

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      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.
