jboy Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 ...when alll the caddies wear sneakers & running shoes ???? Defies the prupose really. So there really isn't any point of moaning about spike marks when these asshole caddies leave big heel marks in your line! Is it all just a big scam to charge us more money for a pair of $140 that technically we don't need ???? DIscuss ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vokester Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 i think they wear golf shoes so they dont fall over when they swing. :nos**t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypro Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Umm....I don't think the caddies are trying to propel the ball 300+ yards off the tee or hitting shots from uphill, downhill, or side-hill lies. You can get away with sneakers and running shoes when all you have to do is walk, tend the pin, rake the bunker, and say "I like that club." When you actually have to play (especially in rain or early in the AM) golf shoes do come in handy. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboy Posted April 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Spikeless golf shoes = pair of sneakers. In june and July, a plastic spike offers no more grip than a running shoe sole. Given in the winter you need spikes but the black widows are crap in the muddy wet conditions and most clubs have banned the traditional tungsten metal spike. I'm replacing all my plastic crap for tungsten and f*** them alll !!!! :finger: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jungleheadjim Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 i think they wear golf shoes because they are playing golf. i think. you wouldnt wear ice skates to a football game. and any type of spikes chews up the greens when they are a little wet. and i bet the metal spikes have been banned mroe for safety reasons.

sonartec_guy Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 have you ever tried swinging on a 4-inch wet rough side hill lie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboy Posted April 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Still fall on my ass :smile1: may as well do it in comfort.. the way I see it the Pros get paid to wear golf shoes, caddies don't and if Woods didn't get a bean off Nike to wear their shoes he'd be sporting a pair of New Balance runners... I think these caddies are onto something, after all, I carry my bag around like they do. I'll give a on-course report when I 'sneak' onto the course at the weekend with my sneakers. No more sore feet and tired calves :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more sore feet and tired calves :cool: You need some more comfortable golf shoes....they do exists!!! Honestly though, if you feel a pair of sneakers is more comfortable than golf shoes then by all means play with sneakers. When the game is on the line I definetly need golf shoes for the added grip and stability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agoodgolfer Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 If your golf shoes dont offer any more traction then your running shows you're wearing the wrong shoes. Besides, many pros still use metal spikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
