I have been playing golf for over twenty years and recently I decided to switch my golf shoes because I was recommended by a friend to switch to the Ecco World Class City GTX. When I first went online and saw that they were four hundred and thirty dollars, I actually closed out the page immediately. I then, out of curiosity wanted to see why they were so expensive. I headed down to the country club's pro shop and tried on a pair of them.Once I...more
ECCO Golf Shoes made a real difference in my enjoyment of the game. I stopped wasting hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on overpriced clubs. I realized that my shoes were on my feet non-stop, and that they were a more important piece of equipment than I had originally thought. The ECCO shoes are extremely comfortable, which has led to me being more relaxed throughout the game.Relaxation is a very important aspect of your swing and form, and...more

We are standing on the tee box of a dogleg left par 5 that measures 520 yards. The hole doglegs left at about 45 degrees in the landing area of the tee shot. Out of bounds extends the entire distance on the left side of the hole. A large fairway bunker is strategically placed on the right side of the landing area off the tee. A lateral water hazard frames the last two thirds on the right side of the hole. The green is reachable for golfers who can hit the ball 260 yards off the tee because the last two thirds of the hole play down hill.The out of bounds characteristic of this hole tends to make the golfer want to aim right however the bunker and lateral hazard come into play off the tee for longer hitters. A choice has to be made on the tee whether the golfer will play conservatively or aggressively. A conservative tee shot takes the bunker and lateral hazard out of play but also makes hitting the green in two virtually impossible. The more aggressive strategy brings all of the trouble into play off the tee but sets up the opportunity to hit the green in two for a possible eagle or easy birdie.Visually from the tee we can see an apartment complex to the right, a distant...more
