NIKE Men s Lunar Control - White/Metallic Silver/Volt Black Golf Shoes

The weather outside is frightful, so I can’t do a playtest on the pair of Nike Lunar Control shoes that recently arrived in the mail. In the absence of visible grass I’ve been trying the next best thing: wearing them around the house. Mrs. GolfBlogger is not pleased, but I’m willing to risk it for my readers.

Based on the carpet test, these are a comfortable, well-fitting pair of shoes. There’s plenty of room in the toe box for my squarish foot, and the arch support hits in just the right place. I’ve done some practice swings with my Wii Chicken Stick, and they offer the stability I’m looking for.

I’ll give you a full walking test when the white stuff leaves the ground.

In the meantime, you might want to visit GolfLocker.Com for some great deals on Nike shoes.

There’s been a lot of buzz about the True Linkswear shoes lately. They’re worn by Ryan Moore and people who have tried them swear that they’re the best feeling golf shoes ever designed. With the toe design, the remind me a lot of the Keen Shoes I like to wear hiking. Here’s the lowdown:

FOOTJOY Men s WinterSof Glove

Grade: A
Teacher’s Comments: I use these every day, on the course and off.

Footjoy’s Winter Sof gloves are quite obviously intended for cold weather use on the course, but I have a pair that I keep in my jacket pockets for every day use. As you might expect from a pair of golf gloves, they are close fitting, without the bunching and awkwardness that you get from more traditional winter gloves. I particularly like the suede leather palm; not only is it good for gripping clubs, it also works well on steering wheels and for operating cameras and cell phones.

As for warmth, the Wintesof perform admirably. The body of the gloves is a nice fleece, and there’s a knit cuff that keeps that heat point in your wrists warm. It also helps to keep the gloves from sliding around.

James Bond famously played golf with Goldfinger in the movie of the same name. But there’s a lot more for golfers to like about the literary spy—like his taste in liquor, cars and ... clothes. Here’s an interesting blog post on the classic attire of Sean Connery’s James Bond.
