Pete Styles – PGA Teaching Pro
As a golf coach working at a driving range I think I have seen all when it comes to foot wear. You know the things that people have worn for golf lessons is amazing I have seen high heels I have seen knee length boots, and that is just the fellas that have come for the lessons, but it case you know we see people take inappropriate footwear out on the golf course. As well you know we see the the sort of modern trend shoes the trainers we see them soft sided roll the fluff piece all about which is fine but we have to understand the golf she was a piece of performance equipment as well it isn't just a fashion accessory. So we want to find a golf shoe that is comfortable yes potentially waterproof particularly if you play in the U.K. We also want to understand how important that can be to the performance that we're trying to achieve I see golf is that when they make their swing in a train or a style of shoe they're right almost completely collapsed backwards through the shoe and a lot wiser as they spin into their left side they roll over again she's headed to a quite comfortable, but they are specifically designed golfs you so that a lot truly very stable.
So I can put body weight into that right leg and it stays if I was in the train is be here by now a lot wiser as a driver like I can turn on the stage set the train is going to be rolling out of the shot if I was playing in slip pieces of shoes then this would be spinning out on the ground as well. So some good grips I want something that's left really stable I want something that's comfortable something that's waterproof and something that's going to perform well but the other consideration is to make sure that you're changing the the spikes quite regularly if you've got a shoe where the spikes the detachable you can put them in maybe work on a set of new spikes every season just to me. Sure they're still nice and grippy particular if you play in wet weather and you start to spin as soon as you don't trust you don't trust those spikes you pretty much don't for because you'll start to pull after the shots and try to be careful the shoe will actually give way and you'll spin and then get desperate you're destined to hit a golf shot. So consider the shoes make sure they're suitable for the climate you're playing in but also in the stunt they are performance piece of equipment you need to have proper golf shoes.
