Are golf shoes really a must out on the course ?

Yes golf shoes with proper spikes are a must on the golf course. Not for worry about slipping on a green or something but to make sure your feet are stable while taking a full swing. Sure you can wear sneakers on the flat and good lie of a tee at the practice range. A golf course may have many varying conditions from wet grass to uphill, sidehill and downhill lies - these will affect your stance and footing. Once you gain some proficiency in your swing, your shift in body weight as you swing through the ball generates a lot of torque at your feet. A slip will cause a bad shot or pulled / strained muscle.





Added: In addition, many golf courses require golf shoes to be worn while on the course.

Golf shoes do help. But try this on for size. Playing in normal walking shoes or tennis shoes with not as much traction will help your balance. I found myself swinging too hard and would slip in my golf shoes. I played the next round in normal shoes just to remind myself to swing within my limits and not only did I shoot fairly well in tennis shoes, my next round in golf shoes was much better.
Reply:No not a must tennis shoes are OK. In fact they can help keep you from over swinging at first.
Reply:Some golf courses have strict policies requiring you to wear them, but I don%26#039;t.





I wear the same pair of bald a*s Adidas on every golf course and I have no problem hitting a 250 yarder, straight down the middle with them on. No slippage or anything.





If you have the proper balance, and mechanics you should be able to drive that ball bare foot.
Reply:Of course! Not only do they help keep your footing during your swing and prevent slipping, but they also help keep the green in good condition. And they look nice with the attire. :)
Reply:I have just bought a pair and played twice while wearing them. They haven%26#039;t done much for my game. But, last year I slipped on a wet green and hurt my knee. The spikes have given me a much more secure footing on the courses.
Reply:No. However, they do help your swing if you have bad mechanics. (i.e. keeps your hips from opening up and slicing.) But no they aren%26#039;t required, and if you hit the ball straight without the shoes then don%26#039;t worry about it. Once your mechanics are down and you start really going after the monster drive you will notice that they help, a little.
