Yesterday I played in possibly the wettest conditions Ive ever played in (actually, I would have been much drier going for a swim at our local pool!) the DNA's held up perfectly and certainly helped to make the round much more comfortable than what it would have been like with shoes that were water magnets!

Mind you, for the price paid for these babies they damn well had better have been water proof! :)

So there you go, if you are looking for water proof shoes then you can't go wrong with Footjoy DNA's!

Thanks for the review.   Next year I'll be taking a gander at new shoes and your review makes the decision easier.

Oh the other thing that I just remembered is that the shoes feel slightly larger than the sizing of the shoe. By that I mean when I wear normal sports socks it feels like a very roomy shoe, almost a half size larger kind of thing. On the other hand if I wear a good thick pair of socks then the sizing is bang on. Don't get me wrong, even with the sizing thing these are still the most stable and comfy golf shoe I've ever owned even with thin socks. So my advice would be to make sure you have your normal golf socks on when you try these shoes or be prepared to go a half size smaller than your normal shoe size. This is an observation three other of my friends with the DNA's have noticed as well. Regards Mailman

    • 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?
