"As you begin to play golf, the golf spikes on your golf shoes, are going to wear down, over time. I'm Jared Garbett, with Echo Farms Country Club, and I'm going to teach you how to change your golf spikes. You're going to take a spike tool. You can get them at any pro shop, or most of the time, your local pro shop will change the spikes for you, if you ask them. You're going to take your tool though, and insert it into the two holes, in the golf spike. You're going to press down, and twist it out. The old spike, you can just do away with. Then, you'll get a new spike to replace it. You can begin the spike into the hole, with your hands. You'll gently twist it in there, and it will click into place. You're going to want to use your tool again, though, to lock it down. You're going to twist it to the right, until it clicks three times. After that, the spike is locked in, and you're ready to keep on playing golf. You always want to make sure you have fresh spikes on your shoes, so you don't slip, whenever you're swinging, and that is how you replace your golf spikes."
