Dave turned me on to these shoes, and I've really been digging them. They're great for instruction AND playing golf. I've slipped once, and I'd have slipped in spikes too - tried to get too much out of a tee shot on one long hole - and they're super comfortable. The little nubby grips on the sole do a tremendous job of grabbing the ground, whether it's a mat or a cool, wet tee.

Highly recommended.

Guess I'm not fully convinced that spikeless shoes will perform as well as traditional plastic spikes (probably because I have not tried them yet ). They do look comfortable though.

I like those brown ones, very stylish.

Some Nike shoes made for trails or something also have some pretty sizable nubs on the bottom, I bet they'd be good.

That's what I wear. I feel glued to the ground. They are too sticky for the mats at the driving range.

how water proof are they? That is always the biggest advantage of golf shoes to me. i sometimes play in cross trainer running shoes because they are more comfortable to walk the course in, but if I get into the deep ruff, I always end up with wet feet. Playing with golf shoes helps to keep my feet dry. That is the biggest advantage as far as I am concerned.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

I bet you they are no way as planted as my Adidas Tour 360 3.0 it is amazing how good they are

Definitly wet. When I walk late afternoons its not a problem. Mornings I change socks after 9. I'm a sock freak though. I change my socks three times a day even when I'm not playing.

Did you just call plastic spikes traditional?

They did look pretty neat. I bought a couple of pair of shoes just becuase they were cheap. One pair I got were the adidas running looking golf shoes thinking I'd just wear them to the range and what not. (I have a pair of Tour 360 3.0 and Dry Joys both brand new or like new) But I have worn them a couple of times and I like them alot. They are light and confortable and will probably wear them a ton so I can save my other shoes and not wear them out. I am a little surprised because I tend to dress very well when I play but man, they are nice.

Reebok has a general-purpose shoe which I use sometimes for hitting at the range, or playing par 3 courses.

It's called Time&AHalf;, and it's designed as a service worker's shoe. It has leather uppers, and the soles are oil-resistant and slip-resistant. The tread pattern is "herringbone pattern and multi-directional lugs." The lugs are a thinner version of those used on on synthetic-turf athletic shoes. Treads don't leave any imprint on putting greens.

Very comfortable, sells for under $60, and can be used for gym workouts or worn with casual attire.

Focus, connect and follow through!

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • 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?
