Are most of the metal spike wearers taking to the course half-cut?
I used to subscribe to the belief that you had better wear metals in winter, but after my winter shoes split last December, I thought I'd play in my softs.
What do you know? No loss of grip at all and a lot more comfortable for it. And then the fun of seeing all those little ice discs your shoes leave behind on the green that look quite pretty.
I find a quick tap with the back of an iron clears the bulk off the spikes, they're quick enough to clean at the end and I don't have the perpetual fear of stumbling in metals as soon as I hit the concrete bits.
I can't help thinking that it's either people hanging on to old ideas (the persimmon brigade took some convincing) or most of you really are turning up on the first 3 parts to the wind!
