There are some companies that stand out above the rest in terms of innovation. Hi-Tec is one of those companies. Hi-Tec has been making sports shoes for over 30 years. That experience pays great dividends in Hi-Tec’s Golf Shoes.
Some golf companies make golf shoes by modifying dress shoes, without much thought going into design or functionality. Hi-Tec CDT Golf Shoes not only break that mold, they obliterate it.
The Technology:
Hi-Tec’s designers have obviously studied the footwork of the golf swing. They’ve built the shoes with reinforcement in all the crucial areas of the shoe.
The most obvious reinforcement I immediately spotted was the roll bar on the inside of the toe on each shoe. In the golf swing both feet roll. The roll bar protects the shoe from wear in the toe area. And it is rounded to allow for less resistance when you do roll. Why hasn’t any other golf shoe company thought of this?

It is with great sorrow that I inform you of the passing of Bunker Mulligan aka Mike Reed. He died at his home in Texas June 3rd of a heart attack at the age of 52.
Bunker was one of the first golf bloggers and had a great blog. His blog Bunker Mulligan amazingly found a way to mix golf, politics and the military.
I am truly saddened by this great loss and wish the best for Mike’s family and friends.
May his memory be eternal.
Mike Reed (Bunker Mulligan)
1953-2005
The US Open is 10 days, 8 hours, 41 minutes, and 48 seconds from right now (according to the Hooked On Golf Blog countdown ticker!).
In preparation for the US Open the new poll addresses your opinion on the playing conditions. Last year there were complaints from PGA players that the conditions were too difficult.
Would you like to see them struggle, have to overcome much adversity and possibly see an over par score win? Would you like to see a shootout like the Bob Hope? Do you think even par should win it? Do you care?
I think it should be extremely difficult with even par or higher winning it.
Vote now (lower left column) and the polls will close when the US Open begins.
The latest Hooked On Golf Blog poll is now closed. An overwhelming 65% voted yes when questioned whether or not women should be allowed to play in PGA Tour events. 50% did feel that the women must “qualify” just like the men do, with no sponsor exemptions. Results below:
Yes, if they qualify (no sponsor exemptions) -> 50%
No -> 22%
Yes -> 15%
Don’t care -> 12%
Unfortunately I was unable to actually watch golf at all this weekend because Comcast still hasn’t gotten my subscriptions working yet. (see this post) Now they say tomorrow. I’m dying over here without my golf TV.
Bary Bryant sneaks up on the rest of the field to win the Memorial. What happened to Tiger, Sluman & Freddie? I told you Sluman wouldn’t keep the lead….
Miguel wins the Welsh Open. The coolest thing about that is that we get to see him hold the trophy with a big fat stogey in his mouth. What a great example eh?
The most dominant golfer in the current era won another tournament. Gee what a surprise. At the ShopRite LPGA Classic she had a 1 shot lead going into the last hole. She eagled it just to remind the field that she was in control. Will someone on the LPGA Tour please step up and challenge Annika? Ochoa tried to challenger her but it was only a verbal challenge which she couldn’t back up.
On the PGA Tour we have the “Big 5.” On the LPGA Tour we have the “Big One.”
