Last week, while I was hitting balls at the range, I noticed something rather peculiar.
It stopped me in my tracks. I knew immediately that I had to write about it.
I was on the range at the same time as a bunch of high-level junior golfers who were there for an event. As someone that makes “sneaker” contact before eye contact, I took note of their footwear.
What I saw shocked me.
One pair of FootJoy. One pair of adidas. The rest? A whole lot of NIKE and Jordan. The vast majority of the junior golfers next to me were rocking NIKE or Jordan golf shoes. Or, in golf nerd terms: I saw a lot of “casual” golf shoes and very few “performance” golf shoes.
