Golf footwear is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated (and underappreciated) pieces of equipment in any golfer’s arsenal.

While PGA Tour players may appear to have little trouble hitting their iron shots consistently in the sweet spot, the fact is that they mis-hit their shots more often than you think. “We mis-hit shots all the time,” explains Australia’s Jason Day. “We’ve just honed our skills to make our mis-hits a little straighter.” Sergio […]
