Golf shoes are ruining my game.

I just recently purchased some golf shoes and couldnt wait for them to come in the mail. I have never played with golf shoes before and was confident I would love them because my course is very hilly and you have some awkward shots even in the fairway. I have played 36 holes in them and I can not hit anything off the tee with them. The best drive I have had with them was a very low snap hook into a tree that bounced into the fairway. Most other shots with my driver have been tops. I am usually straight down the center around 270. As for the irons off the tee, I make goodish contact but snap hook all of them with these shoes. I cant even hit a teed up ball out of the fairway while wearing these shoes. Usually I can have a good drive and tee up and hit my driver again and be near the green on my homes courses par 5 holes. My question is, what should I do? Keep going to the range and hope it eventually all works out or just toss them? The shoes are Adidas Adistar One golf shoes and they have some aggressive spikes. Could that be the problem or are they just a different height than my vans and thats why they have messed me up? Perhaps it not the golf shoes at all.

Your head is the problem. Keep playing until everything becomes normal.

Going to take some time if you've never played in golf shoes before.

yup just keep playing until you're used to them....it wont take long

I play in a league so scores matter. Do you think it would be more beneficial to play practice rounds and go to range in golf shoes, but play in my tennis shoes until im comfortable with them? Or do you think it will mess me up even worse by switching around what im doing?

I would imagine it is a mix of the hat and knowing you are a huge disappointment to your parents(Based off your profile photo on a golf forum). But maybe it has to do a bit with getting used to them....

Golf excuse number 1,834 the shoe!

Go back to your 2011 shoes

They just dont give me enough grip on hills and were causing bad shots, but since I made the investment in golf shoes I will stick them out for a while.

270 down the pipe in vans, put on golf shoes and it all goes to hell?

Same thing happened to me when I started wearing a jock strap.

Yes. But when I put my vans back on it goes back. It has to be the shoes. Hopefully I get used to them.

I think I have heard it all now....

How exactly does this "league" feel about you teeing the ball up in the fairway to hit your driver again? Get off the internet man.

This is great.

This has to be a joke

I played last week in boat shoes, honestly couldn't tell the difference.

I'd try Crocs.

Where can I get those? I havent seen Crocs around in a long time. I really appreciate that youre trying to help instead of harassing me. Thanks!

Pretty much the worst thread I've ever read. The flaming was pretty entertaining though.

Was wondering the same thing.

That is something I let my wife do her first time on a course.
