shoe care

[ScienceBoy]

Let me try...

Me: OH wife.. WIFEY WIFE!!
Wife: Yes dear?
Me: I have a round tomorrow, early start and all
Wife: I know dear, remember to go to bed early
ME: Oh by the way, can you please clean my clubs and shoes for me...
Wife then Laughs at my "joke"
Me: And lay out my clothes, nice and ironed.
Wife gets up, leaves sofa, walks onto office...

Wife slaps husband...

Wife: Oh by the way, don't forget to sleep in the car so you can get off to that early start.

Anyway don't we have these things called wives/girlfriends to do that for us?

I do. She's just done the irons and is sorting out my black shoes for tomorrow as I type. Happy days

If I asked I think I'd be looking for someone to sow my knackers back on, never mind clean my golf kit

'cmon guys get those minging shoes cleaned, first tee dressed to the nines,stromberg troos, lindburg, ashworth, gg jumper, ralph lauren t'shirt looking the biz, then look down to ugly caked mud laden shoes, not good, all for the sake of a quick wipe over. It has to be done.

It's getting to the time of year when cleaning them is a waste of time.
Come off the course, shoes covered in mud. Use the air line/shoe brush and they're ok to put in the car. get home, spend time cleaning them until they shine.
Get to the first tee, play your shot, look in the rough and hey presto your shoes are covered in mud.

And you've achieved?

Bugger all.......

It's only partly about looks. Cleaning them properly keeps them waterproof and makes them last longer. My Dryjoys are at least 5 years old and still keep me dry as well as looking good. It's worth noting that Dryjoys don't have a membrane, they are only waterproof becuase of the way the leather is treated.

Nope. I can categorically confirm on my life, scouts honour she has just polished them for me. She does my shoes regularly and often does the clubs and the grips too. I'm a lucky man

Is she from THAILAND....

Finally, a topic I know something about.

After 23 years in the Army I can confirm that; all posts that say 'clean off mud, dry naturally (with newspaper if soaked) and then treat with good quality polish (eg Kiwi)' (or similar) are the correct answer. All others; report to the Adjutant immediately and expect extra duties over the weekend.
