Most people report less back, knee, and foot discomfort when using spikeless shoes. Over 700 courses in the USA have initiated non-metal policies with great success. In addition, over 70 senior tour players are now wearing spikeless shoes. This year courses on the PGA tour will have the option of requiring spikeless shoes for all practice rounds played. Examples of acceptable footwear include flat soled shoes, tennis shoes, Soft Spikes or Tred-Lites, professional teaching shoes, and spikeless golf shoes.
Unacceptable footwear includes conventional metal golf spikes, rubber multi-ribbed or cleated shoes.
You have the option of purchasing new shoes or having your existing footwear changed over to soft spikes. Non-metal golf shoes and soft spikes will be available for purchase in the golf shop. See Gary in the Locker room if you wish to change the spikes in your existing footwear. A sign-up board for golf tournaments will be placed in the Golf Shop two weeks prior to each event. All members and their guests need to check-in with the Pro Shop prior to play.
