I bought white Nike TW 2012 at a friends course because I forgot my shoes. I bought them because I liked the design on the bottoms. They looked very aggressive and that they would do their job which is to keep my feet planted. I am not in love with the general look but they are very comfortable and they work awesome at their purpose which is to keep me planted. I liked them so much I bought a second pair black. Now I don't like to wear anything else. I have Footjoys, Ecco's, Trues but I like the Nikes best. You can get them 2012's now for a little over $100.

However I have a buddy that comes in from LA every now and then.  Wears Sperry boat shoes with flat slick bottoms and plays just fine.

As for the OP I like the look of the TW 12 and they are on sale at many websites.  I prefer the more traditional look with my FJ's though.

If you like the athletic shoe look I would check out Nike's.  I have a pair I only paid 45 for them and they look great and are comfortable.

Another advantage of Nike golf shoes: They tend to be narrower than most shoes, so if you have A or B width feet, they fit quite nicely without custom ordering.

Footjoy Contour Casual.

Very comfortable and waterproof. Today I played early in the morning with a lot of dew on the ground and traction was just fine even on steep slopes.

I just picked up the true sensei shoes.  Wow are they light, and I think they look great!  I got them on sale so I had to pull the trigger on a pair.  I won't be able to use them in the mornings, but I will probably pick up a weather proof pair for the mornings next year to go with the sensei shoes.  What is the best True shoe now for water resistance?

Tours and Stealth are both waterproof. I have both. Stealth are best feeling shoes I own. I might get Sensei but I'm afraid I'd miss the waterproof since I do play in the morning dew more than the afternoons. Where was the sale?

Just 15% off of orders over $99 at GS. It was an email promotion for web or in the store. Just had to mention it. I think I will have to save up for the stealth shoes then as well, thanks!

If you don't mind the older design, Rockbottom is selling True Tours for $60. Sizes and colors limited though, but worth a check.

Serious question... Are those for women?  Something about the toe design looks like a shoe for a woman.

I just recently bought the 2013 True Tours and find them very comfortable. I was looking to get the Sensei for everyday use and some golf. When it isn't wet out of course. Good everyday shoe and golf shoe?

The sensei is a great all around shoe. I'd pick up a new pair of white ones if I could find them in my size.

New Balance are my everyday athletic shoes and I just got a couple pairs of their golf shoes.  Can't wait to try them on.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      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?
