I tend to leave my cleats until they are so worn down that nothing will help.

OK, professional
tip for you all if you have an electric drill. Put the shoe over something, ideally a vice, and drill into the clogged up holes in the spikes using a small drill bit.
This will re-create the holes, giving you traction, easy to get the worn out spikes out.
You have then saved 8 minutes which can gainfully used selling more Coca-Cola, Mars Bars and renting out trollies...

There are many people with a drill but not all are capable at using one. I can imagine some people drilling right though the sole using that method.
I am constantly shocked by tales from my wife about the capabilities of some of her friends husbands. Changing a fuse is beyond some of them.

You should have soaked them in warm water first.
Tends to loosen the crap that builds up making them easier to remove.
or you can be like Homer and have so many pairs of shoes you will never wear the spikes out if you rotate properly.

Our Pro or his assistant do them for us while we have a coffee in the shop. The young lady sales assistant is equally helpful, she is a golfer though at another club.

Trust me, if I can do it, so can anyone half-competent
There's a lot of spike remaining to drill into before getting anywhere near the shoe.

I've got one of those as well. Never tried the boy scout thing. I guess I've just been unlucky not to find one trapped in a horses hoof.
I also take out the new spikes, put some vaseline or WD40 in the socket and put them back in again. It helps in the long run.

On topic for me. Had two pair of Ecco bioms for over a year now and haven't once yet changed the spikes but was planning on doing in the next month as the front ones were worn completely.
Soaked em in warm water as advised, then dug the crap out of the holes and sorted. They're the q-lock things. Swapped some of the good ins into my other pair, just at the front, and will order some more. Golfspikesdirect.com reputable?

Was going to get them done for free for you but since you insulted me I shall charge you a small fortune. Knob

Out of order. I'm hurt.
For that I'll have to beat you by 14 points again on your home turf.

You've had your birthday round for this year. Not happening again.
