Watching Golf in Golf Shoes
There was a story in newsday.com about the golf writers collecting for the US open being all dressed up in golf gear, including olf shoes with the cleats and all. I thought that I should comment and wrote the response below.
But before you read that let me just say that watching golf is obviously another good use of golf shoes, so it get’s into our “other uses for golf shoes” section – and you can check out parts 1-9, if you wish.
My Comment on the newsday Blog: “If golf shoes are the best way for a golfer to keep his (or her) feet comfortable and dry all day with a five mile walk and some standing around in between then it’s probably best for the golf writers (and those in the crowd who walk the course) to wear golf shoes too – with one exception perhaps they don’t need the cleats/spikes. I wear golf shoes for non golf activities like [a] walking and [b] business if I take out the spikes and they are smart enough which my best Callaway Exotic Chev’s are in black. Thanks, Tate.
PS A Spectator Shoe (not a golf shoe)…
… as shown above, happens to be a style of shoe pretty much like a golf shoe. Principally they have the saddle like a formal shoe (or a saddle golf shoe of course) with a separate piece of leather across the bridge of the foot.
