In our forums, not everything is about club selection and shaft options. A heated debate has bubbled up surrounding the best sock options players can wear on the course.

@CletePurcel asked:

“Just bought 2 new pairs of FootJoy shoes and trying to find out the most favorable socks to wear. I try to walk 9 holes two to three times a week and good socks are a must. Thanks in advance.

Members in the forum chimed in with their favorite footwear accessories. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

• Maroon_19: “I’ve only worn Kentwool socks for golf for the last 8 years – regardless of weather. I walk 90% of my rounds and play anywhere from 50-75 rounds a year (going to go up as I just retired). They only get worn for golf. As long as you care for them, they’ll care for you. Have had zero blisters with them. I just started using my second set of 8 pair for our Bandon trip earlier this month. The old ones will now go into the daily wear rotation. Still good after all these years.”
• smoova: “I’ve had good luck with Swiftwick. Walk every round 12 months a year in Colorado.”
• Hawkeye77: “FJ Pro ProDry is what I’m usually wearing just because I have more of them, but I’ve got some Smartwool socks I love for the wool aspect – they sell them as running socks. The thicker socks are better for certain shoes. I’ve gone merino/other wool in almost all my socks – athletic, “dress” and so forth – no more “Orlon”, lol, some golf socks are the exception.”
• th6252: “Another vote for Kentwool, honorable mentions to Balega and Falke(thanks to someone on this forum for turning me onto the RU3).”

In our forums, one user is returning to the game after an extended hiatus and is looking for a new set of irons. They’re looking at a number of different options for their iron set and asked the forum to advise.

“Hey everyone, I’ve taken 20 some years off from the game other than 2 times a year for obligations. I finally realized golf is my first true love and I’m jumping back in with both feet. It feels like coming out of a coma with how much equipment has changed. My current clubs are Tommy Armour 845 Silver Scots I bought in 1995. Lol. I have been hitting clubs for a few weeks at random stores and finally did a full fitting today. I’m torn between several clubs and would love any opinions y’all can share. Of the ones I’ve hit I like:

Titleist 620MB
Ping Blueprint -T
Mizuno S-1
Taylor Made P-7MB/TW

“I haven’t been able to hit the TaylorMades anywhere yet. I’m having a hard enough time deciding between the other three. Hopefully tomorrow I think I found a place. Any other I NEED to check out? I don’t like Callaway or Srixon. They don’t feel very thin to me. Thanks everyone! excited to learn from this community.”

• Poor Mans Ty Webb: “Any other blades from the last 20 years you should know about? Brother, how much time and money have you got?”
• SBH9458: “You won’t go wrong with any of those offerings. If you love a blade, then you’re tracking in the right direction. I think important to consider a few more things since you’ve narrowed it down… what shafts are you looking at and what results are they giving you? And what swingweights generate the feel you’re after to get those results? Good luck and man enjoy the journey. What a great time to jump back in!”
• grochol17: “Definitely need to include the Wilson MBs. They are usually pretty forgiving for a blade because of the way they drill out the head at the shaft (like they are making a bore through design) which allows them to move that mass out towards the toe, bringing up the MOI.”
