Once upon a time about 15 years ago, I played golf with my brother and a friend at local hackers course in Massachusetts. It was hot summer day and with our carry bags in tow we were all low on energy as we approached the 7th tee. My friend, a diabetic, complained about his lack of energy, thinking his blood sugar level was low. He asked me for some candy, but I didn't have any. I told him to eat grass. He called my an a$$hole. Eventually, we were able to gather some change to get my friend a candy bar. What seemed to be a hostile situation, not to mention my friend's precarious state, transpired to be one of funniest moments of our lives.

Beautiful shoes, sign me up for a size 13 please! By far my favorite moment of walking the course was with my dad at the Old Course. No question getting to walk over Swilcan Bridge with my dad is a moment in time I'll never forget.

[saintsgolf21]

Sign me up thanks. Size 11.5

Cool contest - best memory was walking our home course with my parents and brother before moving off to med school where golfing was on a long hiatus. Don't even remember how we played, just knew I had fun!

[Nspiel58]

Great contest! Count me in for 10.5s.  Favourite walking memory for me was playing grass greens for the first time.  Up till I was about 16, I had always played oiled sand greens, where you have to pull a 3 foot heavy bar in order to make a smooth surface for the putt.  Then you had to rake the green afterward to take out the footprints.  Playing a grass green course was the coolest thing ever.

Sign me up for 11 narrow please, my favorite memory of walking a course was the first time i walked with my dad when i was about 5 years old, it was just so much fun and it meant a lot to me as a little kid to have some father-son time.

My favorite memory of walking wasn't while playing. My first and only trip to Augusta was in '07. I managed to get practice round tickets and invited some family and a friend since none of us had been before. We took off the day before and played in N.C. on the way down and stayed over night. We arrived at Augusta early and spent all day walking around soaking in the beauty of this dream like golf course. I remember looking more at the grass for weeds and never finding any lol. The best part was finally seeing the layout and the slopes of those holes and greens. T.V. just doesn't show how much slope there is on that course. Anyway, it was the most memorable walk on a golf course I think I will ever experience. I play at a mountain golf course and walk some but it's a tough walk and quite frankly you are breathless... but not from the memories lol.

My favorite memory walking is when I was with a few buddies walking 18 at the University of Florida golf course after class. It was memorable because I came within 2 inches of an ace! Was a fun day with some fun guys. Thanks for the awesome giveaway! Size 10.5M please

This past summer watching my son shoot 66 in tournament to win by 9 strokes then later in the summer watching my daughter shoot 76 in her high school team invitational at our home course the best year i have spent on the golf course.

[RookieBlue7]

My most fond memory is walking the course as a single the morning after my father passed away. The dew on the grass and the first one out, made for a peaceful morning for me.

Thanks to WRX and FootJoy for the opportunity. Should I win, my size is 10.5 medium.

Would have to say my favorite memory walking was with my dad. It was the first time we walked together after I bought us both push carts at a local store. The golf was so-so, but the talks we had between shots are priceless. I could literally sit and talk with my father about any subject and know he'd respect my views and also appreciate my input. It hurts now knowing his knees can't take a walk and that his ailing vision and arthritis keep him from playing much at all. Still because of the time he and I spent walking on our home course, I have a huge appreciation for my playing partners when I play anywhere.

[gone_golfing]

My favorite memory of walking a golf course was way back in 1985 and I was working at a old Harry Colt golf course during the summer months. i was playing with one of my co workers and i said to him as we hit our best drives on the 9 th hole. "This is what Life's all about" . He responded by saying " Yeah, those drives were good,but don't think about calling (then PGa Commissioner ) Deane Bemen just yet, you still have the back nine to play".  I replied. " yeah but I outdrove you by 5 yards".

We have remained friends to this day.

[NJGolfer21]

Remember walking down hole 6 at my home track back in high school.

Holing out from 184 yards for eagle. Lost to the state champ team by one that day, I had the lowest score 32 (9 hole match)


13 wide please! Thanks for the opportunity!

[scully]

Thanks for the chance!!
11.5 wide please.
My favorite memory is easy, caddying for my Dad. I didn't get to walk much, as I had to run to keep up!!
I miss him every day.

when i was 11 my mother and i made the drive from vegas to scottsdale to vist my grandfather on my dads said. my father passed when i was a baby and i had never met that side of the family. my grandfather lived right next to moon valley (we rode in his golf cart to the course) and he took me out golfing for the first time. my father was an avid golf too and i fell in love with the game. i liked being outside. i liked feeling a little more grown up. and the game has stuck with me ever since. its always been my connection to my other family.

i wish i could say i was wearing footjoys, but that wasnt the case. but maybe we can change that now - size 11.

My favorite memory was walking my first high school golf round as a Freshman.  Had just started playing a year before tryouts and ended up shooting a horrendous number during that specific round, but was very proud at the time to be a starting Freshman.  Ended up being the capt. my So., Jr., and Sr. years and won a few tournaments, but still remember that first competitive round most fondly.

These are drop dead amazing looking by the way, size 13.

[Holeinonez]

These look sweet!  My most memorable time walking the course was when I was 18 and just started golf. I didn't know I had to carry my own clubs, so I brought my staff bag and about 20 clubs to try out. I almost died by the end of the round carry a bag that probably weighed 50 lbs. thx golf wrx!

[barosborough]

Favorite memory walking was The Old Course St Andrews.  I played with my buddies Josh, Jeremy, and Steve.   The trip was for Steve's 60th birthday and on the 1st hole he put his second shot of the day in for an Eagle (2) on #1 from about 155 yards.  Thanks for the chance to win and for the trip down memory lane.

[TitleistHOG]

My favorite memory of walking a golf course would have to be the first time I stepped foot on Augusta.  I won the lottery for 2010 and went to a Tuesday Practice round with two of my buddies and my father-n-law.  I was great.  I look forward to going back this year.  

Size  - 11.5 Medium

[phccpickle]

So many great memories over the years but probably the best is when my kids, age 5 and 7 at the time, started to really enjoy golf and we would walk as a family at our home club, talking about whatever was on their minds, as we walked each hole (we'd only make it 2-3 holes).  On our last hole, we'd bet to see who's putt came closest to (or went in) for milkshakes after the round.  To this day, the kids still want to wager with the old guy, although the bets have gotten bigger like them.......

I appreciate the offer and generosity, I'd take a size 14 if I'm lucky enough.

Thanks!!

My favorite memory of walking a golf course is playing Pinehurst #2 with my best friend from high school. Special time and great memories. Footjoy shoes are my only shoes would love to have a pair of the agusta green to add to the rotation. My size is 10 wide please enter me in the drawing.

[sitterbrian12]

My favorite memory of walking a course was the first time I played after getting back from Iraq.  I played on a course on Camp Pendleton.  I just remember how beautiful I thought everything was and how much I enjoyed just walking on the lush green grass.  I actually didn't have golf shoes at the time so I was wearing a pair of tennis shoes.  But that didn't matter,, I just remember how much I appreciated every step on the course.  

I would love to wear those beautiful cleets.  Size 13.5 please

[mglynn10]

University ridge, Madison WI. First round of State D1.  Perfect warm weather, super fun course to play and plenty of spectators. Didn't play the best, but yet still my best memory.

[prg16]

Size: 11.5

Walked the Straits Course at Whistling Straits with my Dad and brother.  I parred the first 5 holes and then it was all down hill from there.

[eldog-in-the-hizouse]

Walking Tomahawk with my dad, then running like hell from the top of the mountain when the lightning came. Dad wasn't much of a golfer but he took me out and chased it around with me from time to time.

[SweetTeaGolfer]

Walking the local muni late at night with my 2 best friends when some other groups for some reason began playing the holes backwards and we had to dodge their balls coming at us.

[theLeftyBeast]
