I played the first couple years just wearing sneakers. When I finally got a pair of golf shoes my scoring average went down a bunch. It makes a difference. It's not that you're going to fall down with

Running shoes are fairly common for me during casual rounds. People think its funny, but I've never really been convinced that golf shoes help all that much.  (Wet days might be an exception)

Golf shoes for rounds and any kind of practice (even on the mats in the dome in the winter).  My usual boots are too thick, I don't wear running shoes and I can't get the traction I'd like with my VFF's.

You consciously practice in different footwear? Different traction and sole height? Is this when you practice off mats or always?

The ranges near me are mat only (wish there was grass ranges close by).  I usually don't bother to change shoes for hitting off mats.  Do you think it would be better if I wore golf shoes during practice on mats too?

Golf shoes on the course. If possible, golf shoes on the range as well. I don't like sliding at all when I'm standing on mats.

Golf shoes or, in warm weather, golf sandals.  Funny that Crocs were mentioned.  They used to own the Bite Golf shoe brand but I believe that went kaput.  I own a few pairs of Bite shoes and sandals.  Very comfy golf footwear. I'm sorry they are no longer available.

There was a thread earlier with some links to Sketcher Bobcat and Asics. These are athletic shoes with alot of traction but no 'cleats'.

Here's another one.

Golf Shoes for course and practice with the occasional "I'm too lazy to change my shoes to hit 50 balls off a mat"...

Golf shoes only.  Odd time I'll have my steel toe shoes on if I am taking a quick coffee break at the range, but I am considering keeping them in the truck all season this year.  And....you wouldn't catch me wearing Crocs on or off the course, anytime, period.

always golf shoes for me as well. golf shoes should be worn since they aid you in keeping your footing.

golf is a lot like life. the more you enjoy it, the better off you are. a3_biggrin.gif

      Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.
