Golf Random Irritations

[Neilds]

...that nobody has ever told me that I need to remove the spikes/cleats from my golf shoes every so often to clean out the socket and thread - because if you don't then in time the socket will get bunged up or the thread knackered - and either way when a spike/cleat breaks you may not be able to replace it. Mentioned to one of our assistant pros and he tells me he removes them every 6-8 weeks.

And so its has come to pass for me with a pair of FJs not two years old. A cleat will have to have its screw cut off before being glued onto the sole.

Did he explain how the socket can get bunged up with a spike fitted? Not possible for much dirt to get in, certainly not enough to block it.

Wow, I didn't think any of those still existed. We literally burnt our remaining cheque books a few weeks ago as they were utterly redundant.

You should have sent them to me as I dispose of them free of charge.

Very much the reason we burnt them

Just the twisting we put on them and the dirt just works it's way in over time.

You saying you wouldn’t trust someone you have never met apart from on the internet.
I’m telling my mate the Nigerian prince to take you off his email list now
