Golf Footwear Facts
Stepping out in style on the course - an age old tradition!
 Caledon Country Club is 6140 yards - if you walk the course, you walk 5.61 km (or 3.49 miles for you old timers) every time you golf the course!- In 1917 William Park was granted a US patent for a golf shoe, which was really more of a boot.
- In 1923 the golf boot was turned into a golf shoe by the Field and Flint company.
- Gene Sarazen was the first golf professional to wear white buck golf shoes in the early 1920s.
- The Prince of Wales (Edward VIII) helped to popularize golf shoes when he wore a white & tan pair of spectator shoes during a 1925 visit to the US.
- In the 1940s Foot- Joy introduced the first ladies golf shoe which had a tag that said: "everything mannish except the sizes."
- The 1990s saw the introduction of nonmetal cleats for better traction and less damage to the course.
- A "spike mark" is the mark made on the green by the spikes of a golf shoe.

TIPS FROM THE PRO - Stepping onto the course:
The importance of golf shoes!
 I regularly see people coming out to the course and I am amazed how many are wearing the same old golf shoes every day.
Your feet (and ultimately your shoes) are an important part of your golf game. Consider that you are spending up to five hours outside, in all kinds of weather, so your shoes need to stand up to the challenge.
Golf shoes are about more than just style. Unfortunately they are often the most overlooked piece of equipment in a golfer's bag.
In very basic terms, golf shoes help secure a golfer's feet to the ground. More importantly, by helping you secure your stance they allow you to take advantage of your leg power during a swing. They also provide a safety service - by keeping you steady they help prevent slips and falls on the course.
Golf shoes should be lightweight, provide ample support and grip, have good cushioning, and above all should be comfortable! Many golfers consider waterproof golf shoes a necessity.
Another thing you may want to consider is carrying at least two pairs of golf shoes in your bag. This helps your shoes last longer and allows you to wear the right shoes for specific course conditions. You should have a pair of shoes for those wet days or dewy mornings, and a pair for those bright sunny days. When one pair gets worn out you can rotate a new pair in, but always have at least two pairs at all times.
While there are many great new shoes out in the market that can be purchased for under $100, sometimes a simple cleaning and switching out of your old cleats is all you need, and can be done fairly quickly and inexpensively.
So, to get this season off to a nice comfortable start, why not treat yourself to a new pair of golf shoes! Not only will your feet thank you, but you will likely shave a few strokes off your game - simply by stepping onto the course, in style!

Rubber Versus Metal Spikes
Here is a notice from the golf committee of a prominent eastern US club, to its membership:
To Golfing Members:
In a letter this summer, your attention was called to the injury that is done to the putting greens by certain types of golf shoes, and your committee believes the time has come when golfers should discontinue the use of shoes with nails. This is not only for the sake for the greens and tees, but because players are finding to their great satisfaction that their game is improved by the various forms of rubber soles. Injury to the clubhouse floor is also obviated. We assume that it is understood that spikes are prohibited. We, therefore, suggest that when buying new shoes, or having your present ones repaired, you get some one of the various makes of vacuum treads of rubber soles.

It seems the more things change, the more they stay the same - the debate continues!
