Like, before cleats and sneakers, did they just wear regular shoes? What about golf cleats, or Chuck Taylors in basketball? Just curious.
What kind of shoes did pro atheletes use BEFORE the advent of modern athletic footwear, such as sneakers?
If by modern athletic footware you mean the sneakers since the 1970s, the answer is:
Converse had a virtual monopoly on the athletic market till the 1970s. High school, college, and professional teams would use Converse Chuck Taylors to work out in.
US football and baseball players would use spiked shoes (this was before indoor turf) for play, though.
Of course basketball players would use Chucks in Black or White.
As for tennis (all levels), many players would use Keds or Converse%26#039;s Jack Purcell sneakers.
Other professional sports (e.g. racing, boating, etc.) would use a mixture of the above sneakers and a casual non-sneakers leather shoe.

Women's Golf for Beginners?
Hi, I need to know why my feet hurt when I play golf with tennis shoes...and why does my hand hurt like its going to blister? And no, I don%26#039;t have gloves.
Women%26#039;s Golf for Beginners?
Because if you are walking on a golf course, you are walking 4-5 miles at a %26quot;whack%26quot;. Your shoes need to fit correctly or you are going to get blisters. It%26#039;s totally different from just walking about in your %26quot;day to day%26quot; life. As you get more used to the walking, especially up and down hills, your feet should become more accustomed to the %26quot;wear and tear%26quot;. As to hurting hands, you may be gripping too tightly on your club or have a %26quot;grip%26quot; flaw where you are letting loose of the club a bit as you swing. Especially as a beginner, you are hitting or swing the club more times than the average. You can be wearing your skin a little where you grip the club. This too should change over time but a glove (on either hand or both) can help.
Reply:if your feet hurt after walking around on a golf course, that could mean that you need new shoes. if you%26#039;re right-handed, and your left hand is becoming callous and blistered then you should get a golf glove for your left hand (and vice-versa if you are left-handed). hope i can help!

How has golf changed over time?
I am doing a school assignment and I am finding it a little difficult to find information on how golf has been changed by technological advances over time. I am basically asking, what has changed in golf over time, e.g. golf buggies, clubs, shoes, courses etc.
How has golf changed over time?
A whole lot has changed yet at the same time very little. The basics of the game have remained intact hit the ball into the hole. Really though lets go back to about 1950 the real difference was the greens they didn%26#039;t build them like they do now they weren%26#039;t as smooth or as fast. Mowers irrigation and multilayer technology can make greens more like apool table today vs the slow carpet of the past. Otherwise Nothing has changed golfers make more money it;s more popular but it %26#039;s about the same. More minorities play the game really because of tiger woods promotion of golf that%26#039;s something to look up if i were you. A ton can be said about equipment but in reality its dead even the golf ball doesn%26#039;t spin much any more it goes very far and very straight. The ball of the past spun quite a bit and could be maneuvered by the player.
Todays golf is one dimensional hit it hard and straight vs work the ball and shape shots. The clubs have changed leaps and bounds but the truth is that it%26#039;s the Indian not the arrow so who cares the ball has more of a difference the the clubs to an extent hope this helps.
Reply:Dude you can%26#039;t find information on how golf has changed technologically? Not looking very hard are you? You do know that when they speak of woods back in the day, they were actually made of wood. Nowadays, they are made of metal. Balls are way different. Ballata balls were wound. Today%26#039;s balls are multi piece with seamless covers. The size of the clubheads are way different. The first driver I ever bought had a 198cc size clubhead. The most recent one I bought had a 460cc size clubhead. Time span between the first driver and the most recent driver was 6 years. Let%26#039;s talk about long iron replacements called hybrids. You can write your entire paper on this single topic. Dig deeper my friend. It is all there for you.
Reply:technological advances in club design, square grooves, graphite shafts, metal woods, perimeter weighting, etc... have all helped the players of today hit it further with more accuracy and stop it quicker than they ever could before.
I would guess that courses being designed today are probably longer than in years past because of the advances.
Many golf carts have gps type systems that show yardages for the course.
These are just a few.
