What I Like About My Super lites Golf Shoes From Footjoy

4/28/2014

I went golfing and had a valet from the hotel and when he delivered us to the golf course I realized I hadn't taken my Tiva sandals I usually wear. So I bought Footjoy Superlite Golf Shoes and actually made it through 18 holes without blisters or aching feet.

They have a light weight sole made with rubber and fake cleats.

The cleats aren't hard and high so they haven't hurt my feet. They also give a bit so they haven't hurt my toe,my normal complaint.

But they are not waterproof. These will be good cool she's to wear golfing with some additional grip during hot weather. It is still likely that I will wear my Tiva sandals if it rained recently or is going to rain since they are waterproof.

King And Bear Golf Course with A Surprising Finish

The King and Bear Golf Course is somewhat similar to the Slammer and Squire Golf Course in that both ate operated by Honors Course golf management. Both golf courses are immaculate. The clubhouses both offer a similar menu and treat their guests to icy cold apples on the 1st and 10th tee. You can't possible imagine how good the red delicious apples taste until you bite in and they crunch and the juices quench your thirst.

The main difference between the two golf courses includes the following:
1. much more active local play
2. more homes on the course
3. slower play
4. more challenge from water hazards

Many of the fairways at King and Bear Golf dogleg around a water hazard, many times with narrow fairways.

Or the tee is set so that you drive over water, although most are sized equitably for your handicap if you're playing from the correct tee.

We loved our experience at King and Bear golf course until after we finished and had to wait for almost an hour for pickup from the Renaissance hotel by Marriott at the World Golf Hall of Fame. Strange things happen sometimes.

Native Grass Solution to Dry Sand Trap Edges in Florida

I was just explaining to my husband how golf courses could use native grass planting on the rounded upper edges of sand traps when I found them in place at Victoria Hills Golf Course in Deland, Florida.

Here's a few photographs:

The advantage of this tactic is that it is easier to avoid watering the edges of sand traps to keep them green using native grasses which are much more drought tolerant and don't need to be mowed. The bad news for golfers is that these native grass plantings are hard to escape, although I watched on ball today hit and richochet of the grass to somewhere safe. The benefit is that the sand stays much fluffier and easier to escape when they don't get watered every day. The rough here, is not long grass, but lightly seeded almost sand. In a dry, sandy environment, this strategy makes a lot of sense.
