How to Add Golf Spikes to Shoes
Golf shoes or cleats, which are required to play on many golf courses, use metal or soft spikes to help golfers maintain balance and traction. Some golf courses will not allow metal spikes to be worn, so it's important to know the rules of the course before you play it. It's also important, then, to know how to replace, switch or add spikes to your shoes. This is generally a quick and simple process, depending on the type of equipment you are using.
