I talked with Don Mason earlier today, and as usual, learned something new. He was freezing his butt off because the temperature in northeastern LA was just 48 degrees today, and that the golf shoes I own are no longer permitted on golf courses. I have the old style with metal spikes, which the greens keepers claim damages the greens. Now, the spikes are soft plastic or rubber to prevent them from digging into the turf. If I would have been using them to get the mail this morning, I would have never made it to the mailbox, or even off my front porch steps. OUCH!

Sure wish they still allowed steel spiked tires. They were the best thing since sliced bread in snow and ice. Damaged the roadways they claimed and the EPA outlawed them. I wonder why they never outlawed tire chains? Hmmmmmm!
