It's worth saying...the cell phone belt clip may as well be left at home because you should never, ever have the phone on the course. Whatever routine you go through to make sure the phone is always on your person, change it for that day.

True that. And if you decide you're going to put it on silent and hide it in your pocket, make sure to set it so it doesn't beep if you get a message, or you might get a 5-iron wrapped around your neck.
 
Yeah, the golf spikes thing was sarcasm. The only thing dopier than a reporter wearing golf spikes is the fans who wear them. What, in case someone gets hurt and they pull you out of the gallery to play?

Esquire, Jones not included, can blow me.

I'm rebuilding my golf equipment pile and I noticed Teva-like golf shoes. Very tempting.

I repeat: Esquire, Jones not included, can blow me.

I'm with you, Jones. No golf spikes.

Do you wear cleats to a baseball game?

no, but if its wet and you're walking the course, spikes are actually useful.
there's no chance in baseball you're going to be on the field during the event

I wore spikes a couple of times when I was walking the course with a group but I felt too embarrassed making so much racket on the concrete floor of the press tent whenever I came in from the course. Switched to my Chuck Taylors and did it right after that.

Sounds to me, from that one sentence, that statement was put through the rigors of the Scientific Method. ;)

Maybe Jones could let us know?
 
Don't ask me. I wear flip-flops from late March until early December.

Well, maybe it's just me. Plus, I'd be afraid I'd get my feet stepped on.

Some golf clubs appreciate it if you wear spikes. They don't chew up the course as much

As much as what? High heels?

We had a news reporter wear high heels when writing a news-related story from a PGA Tour event in our backyard a few years back. The players had been complaining about the quality of the greens all week long, and we wrote a lot about it. Then she shows up in spiked heels and starts gouging the green at the signature hole during the trophy presentation.

Our photo chief goes over to her, tells her to get those ****ing shoes off NOW. I'm not sure she ever knew what she did wrong.

Perhaps this is why middle eastereners have such credibility issues.
