A couple of years ago I got a pair of Footjoy "Dryjoys" that are water resistant. Surprisingly comfortable! :yay:

TY!

I was thinking "Footjoy" or Etonic, and a forum member sent me a good recommendation.

k...so I golfed today in the Ridge tourney........and I wore my tennis shoes (cross trainers).....My question is.......


Do golf shoes actually make that much difference? If so....what are they?? (the differences)

I think they give you a bit more stable footing so you don't slip as much, particularly on slightly damp grass.

...you played golf and you don't see the need? I'm impressed with your balance.

You play softball, right? Don't ask me how I know, just work with me here.

So, you're playing softball and, well, can you imagine playing without cleats or at least turf shoes?

There is an unwritten rule; if the sport has beer drinking associated with it you can not, must not, risk losing your footing.

Yeah, I guess you all are right, I can see how it can give you a better footing in all, on the damp grass, and when drinking (like today)......

I just never found the need to have them, but ive never been real serious into playing golf, I like to just go out and have fun..if I shoot in the 90's, Im happy, I think 3-4 times in my golf career (4-5 years now), ive broke into the high 80's....but, I may have to look into getting some, a few guys I know with want to start playing more tourney's, and trying to win them...so, Ill look into it...


And Larry, that was a good way of putting it :yay:

Another factor is that if you are playing more regularly, and starting to shoot in the 80s, you are good enough to start using more dedicated golf equipment. You don't need the butt-expensive equipment, but some decent golf shoes will help. Plus you gotta look the part, like you are part of the "in" golf crowd!

I find I get an extra 250 yards on my drives wearing golf shoes.

Relax, relax, here it comes (backswing) ready, steady, slow is smooth, smooth is fast....SWINGAS####INGHARDASYOUCAN....
