I played steel spikes. First two years I played golf, right on the cusp of the introduction to soft spikes.

I miss the sound, but I don't miss the damage they did: to the course OR my ankles. I never realized how much better my feet could feel after playing MORE golf until the year I went to soft spikes, and I remember being amazed at how smooth the greens were.

 I played them for 20+ years and my sentiments exactly.  I miss the sound but not the sore feet and messed up greens. Now if everyone would just fix their ball marks...
