Has anyone tried the Oregon Mudders winter boots yet? I just purchased the M700 version and hope to give them a workout in the morning. Here in Washington many of the courses have a lot of muddy spots and standing water. My old Nike shoes tend to make my feet sore after a couple hours and these feels great just with the little bit I have worn them so far. They look like they will give excellent ankle support also.

I have not tried them, but they look cool.  We don't get a lot of mud here in New England, but some courses do stay open when its cold providing there isn't much snow.  Let us know how they work out for you.

Speak for yourself! Our mud season is in the spring but most of the time my normal waterproof shoe do alright. Those shoes may function well but they are butt ugly. Especially the golf sandals but @Fourputt might buy them.

Well they may be ugly but they sure were warm and dry. The only issue I had is I lost one of the soft cleats already. They come with a couple extra and a wrench so I can replace it easily enough.

I read in a review on Amazon that someone had issues with the cleats getting loose and the tag on the boots says to tighten before wearing (Which I did). I guess I will break out the lock tight since the studs are metal. Other than that I am very satisfied with them.

@Valleygolfer is too fashion conscious!  If you could write a review in the Equipment section @drifterdon , that would really help other forum members.

Hey @boogielicious ...so I like to look good and be warm. I am not so sure about playing in boots either. @drifterdon you might have to write a review to convince me...

Pretty sure anyone can write a review. I believe you have to be a Forum Leader to have access to free gear to review when sponsors offer it up, but if you've purchased the boots and want to write a review for the site I expect that you are more than welcome to. I'd like to see a review of these boots.

Yep. "Member Reviews" just mean you're "more eligible" for the free stuff sponsors give us. Any member who can create a signature can create a review.

    • 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?
