Golf shoes can say a lot about a person. They can say if someone is flashy or conservative, how often they play or how serious they are about the game. You can pick out someone from a mile away by their golf shoes. Over the years I’ve seen people sport some strange footwear on the course ranging from football cleats to sandal style spikes.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not knocking anyone for what they wear but you have to admit – it can be a little funny. When it comes to golf shoes I tend to fall in the middle. Not quite the traditional “oxford” style nor the Ian Poulter purple pimped out kicks. It seems that my preference is for the could-be-a-sneaker-could-be-a-shoe style golf shoe.

Considering I golf as often as I can and have had these shoes for quite some time, when should I get new golf shoes? I’ve changed the spikes a few times and they’ve been good to me. The waterproof warranty has long since expired but they still keep my feet dry. Ok, ok…they’re beat to s**t! I’m just being stingy and don’t want to fork over the $100+ for a decent pair.

Golf shoe prices have been getting up there. Now that I’m in the market for them, I’ve noticed that you can drop a few Franklin’s on a pair. WTF?! And the different styles to choose from make it even harder. Should I get the Crocs, Chuck Taylor’s or Nike running shoe? I wouldn’t be surprised if they had Uggs, although that would be very odd. Maybe I’ll just wait for the off-season and hopefully find a better deal. We’ll see. Next season if you see someone out there with two different shoes from the discount rack, that’ll be me. Stop by and say hello.

Hit’em long…yell FORE!!!
