Looks like it hurts. Not your feet are they?

Anyway.....when I was a kid I wanted to have "Tarzan" feet. You know.....fully calloused soles so I could walk on anything (and swing from vines). It was a good idea at the time anyway.

It hurts to look at that picture. I wouldn't dare go on the course barefoot. Too many fire ants where I play. Compared to a fire ant sting, squishy goose crap would feel dreamy.

Fertilizers and chemicals should be reason enough.

Go to the place in your club where they prepare it before spraying, that will forever kill the idea of going around barefoot.

That would suck to take out of your foot after the round. And that's a good example on not what to do while golfing.

Reminds me that I had a flat tire once. When I looked at the tire, the tee had penetrated the tire perfectly and all you could see was the round top of the tee flush with the surface of the tire. After the tire was repaired, the technician came out with a quizzical look and said, "it had a piece of wood in it." He obviously wasn't a golfer.

So also be careful driving in golf course parking lots.

Yep, showed it to a podiatrist in our swat & he said "too clean"...Absolutely no blood?...C'mon..Because of the fat pad and location, from a vascular standpoint, there could be minimal blood, but zero blood?..No way..What'd he do, clean it perfectly with the tee in or re-insert the tee after cleaning?...LOL...
