Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the growing popularity of spikeless golf shoes, and outlines the benefits of spikeless shoes for golfers, course owners, and superintendents. Presents several ideas for encouraging the use of spikeless golf shoes, such as banning metal spikes, instituting a trial period for spikeless golf, requiring junior golfers to play spikeless, offering free trial pairs of spikeless shoes, conducting a spikeless tournament, partitioning the green into spike and non-spike areas in order to demonstrate the difference in grass quality, and offering reduced fees to spikeless golfers. |
