I wear the Adizero's and love them - but they leave MUCH bigger imprints in the greens, especially at this time of year, than my dry joys. As such, last weekend I changed shoes at 9 because I was that embarrassed about the mess I was making, even when trying to be careful.

It would be a pain in the arse for many, but banning them for the winter months wouldn't be the worst idea I've ever heard.

Will be using my FJ's until the New Year now I think.

Well said. I imagine your approach is far more adult than normal and wont be the norm across the masses

The dents were on the brabazon the PGA greens seemed firmer but I preferred the brabazon over the pga. And scored better on the brabazon. If you are a member I feel sorry for you. It's full of green fees and the slow play is insane. 5hr 15 for PGA but shotgun start on brabazon 4hrs 10 mins and we were the quickest group

No need to feel sorry for me, I wouldn't move club if you paid me. 4.20 on the PGA today and we teed off at prime time. Not bad going for a Saturday round in the winter really. We play in the afternoon during the summer after work (3PM) to avoid the busy period and have the course to ourselves. Like I say I wouldn't move for anything...

So I'm not "adult" because I won't pay out for different shoes to wear !

Wow what an attitude you have

Does your membership include the Brabazon

I think adidas should take the hit. They designed them.

And wearing shoes which you know are chewing up the greens is very adult.


They aren't "chewing" up our greens nor any other greens I have played on so far.

There doesn't appear any "hit" for Adidas to take

Thanks for clearing things up.

They are damaging others and im sure certain courses could ban them.

How many courses have you seen them "damage" then ?

I have seen all makes of shoes make indents into the greens - some deep some not so deep - not once has a shoe been banned.

If it comes to the point where shoes are making big idents then the greens are too wet and you need to go into winter greens.

I have to admit I have them and love them BUT I regularly play with one of the larger forum member..... And I leave worse foot marks... It happens on almost all wet greens
