Golf Sandals - An Option for Some
You may or may not know this, but I'm an identical twin. My sister Cathleen (aka Cat) is five minutes younger and five pounds lighter than me. Normally, I would hate her for those things, but she's so nice, and in the end, it doesn't matter because everyone says we look exactly alike.
Cat plays golf too, poorly like me and not as often. She owns a restaurant and she's ultra busy, but I'm going to try to get her out on the course more this year... and I'm hoping she'll join me in the Golf for Women challenge.
Cat and I have pretty much the same taste in golf clothes, and sometimes we even dress the alike on the course. I know, I find it ultra-dorky when adult twins dress alike too, but you can't believe how much fun it is. The reactions we get are quite hilarious.
One thing we don't see eye-to-eye on however, is golf shoes. Actually the disconnect applies to shoes in general. As far as footwear is concerned, our tastes couldn't be more divergent.
I'll walk all over Manhattan in stilettos where Cat will insist on sneakers. While I'm prancing by on platforms Cat's in ballet flats. And that brings us to golf sandals. Cat just went out and bought a pair of golf sandals... and she says they're ultra comfortable. Well, guess what? I don't like golf sandals. As I see it, they're just one step up from Crocs. I like my golf shoes to be elegant. I like leather and laces and eyelets and contrasting colors. I like a polished look. Admittedly, I spend a fair amount of time in the sand traps, but to me sandals are for the beach. Cat doesn't agree and that's problematic because we're supposed to be dressing alike for a charity tournament we're involved in next month, and now we have to rethink our whole outfit.
Cat suggested we just go with the casual flow of the sandal, in shorts,polos and baseball caps, while I had picked out adorable golf dresses and matching bucket hats. The tournament is in mid-May so we have a couple of weeks to decide . Hmmm, we'll see who wins this one, I think it'll be me. Remember I'm five minutes older. That should count for something.
I'll write more about the tournament we're involved with ... and what we decide to wear... in the upcoming weeks, so stay tuned!
hey your little sis cat here, well i just got an adorable pair of baby pink golf crocks which i think will do quite nicely for our upcomming golf outing unless of course you want to go with the sandals ;)
No Way Cat! We're not doing pink crocs! Ever!
I've got an idea: The crocs/sandals for the first nine, the fancy shoes for the second.
You gals will look great in both. :)
Golf Shoes can be very uncomfortable, which is odd considering that the game requires so much time on one's feet.
I often wear golf sandals and find them a good option.
Style and looks don't matter that much after you've been playing a full round in uncomfortable shoes.
