Golf Shoes Blog Wonders: A Specific Golf Shoes Charity?
[1] I’ve read masses about a big charity event recently with ceebrities and the public alike throwing shoes at a golf course. I don’t know the exact set up (was it a distance challenge with prizes?) but the shoes thrown were then given to charity. But even though it was a shoe event at a golf course it had little or nothing to do with golf shoes. I’m not knocking it – I hope it raised a lot for its designated charity.
[2] Now I’m seeing stuff coming through on Puma at the Sundance Festival and celebrities signing Puma shoes – again not golf shoes. The charity involved is Soles4Souls and they get shoes to those without shoes. Again a very worthy cause.
But when you’re like me and your major concern is golf shoes, you’d like to see something that fits neatly into your own box! So I’d like to see something solely around the golf shoe (no pun intended). But who’d run that and who would be the relevant recipients ? Golfers (hardly hard up in the wide-world perspective)? Or the shoe-less? (Easier to find. Apparently there are very real needs for the homeless to get both good shoes and foot care: Life on the streets is not kind to feet!) Or some lesser cause-related group – but then why golf shoes?
So I’ve answered my own question about why there is no such specific event…. And if I want one then I’d have to do something about it myself! At the moment golf shoes blog is just a fledgling (giving charitably to web hosts with little return!) But if ever we make it more viable then maybe we’ll be [a] clever enough to think of something appropriate and [b] kind enough to do something abut it! Meantime, the golf shoes thinking cap is on!
