Yesterday I went to the range to some swing repair. Unfortunately, I wore my moccasins out of the house and forgot to take my golf shoes. When I pulled out the first club I finally realized what I had done, or rather not done. “Well,” I thought, “I’ll try this anyway.” It took four swings to see that the moccasins weren’t helping, so off they went, and I hit the remaining 90 balls in my stocking feet.<\/p>\n
And you know what? I hit the ball great. I made good contact on about 90% of my swings, and every one ended in a balanced finish. <\/p>\n
The reason? You can’t swing that hard without shoes on. Your feet don’t grip the ground as well, so you have to swing easier than normal or risk falling down. <\/p>\n
The pro was walking by and said he used to play barefoot sometimes, for the same reason.<\/p>\n
Maybe the next time I play I’ll wear my moccasins and just slip them off when I hit. I’ll let you know. <\/p>\n
