Sneakers Allowed
Golfers have finally shed their non-athletic image. Golf shoes have followed suit with sneaker-style designs. You'll feel more like Carl Lewis than J.L. Lewis in Nike's new Air max Summer TW ($85, pictured)

That '70s Shoe
The all-white golf shoe is back with a vengeance this year. And the beauty part is, white shoes go with anything--except flared plaid trousers. Slip into a pair of FootJoy's slick DryJoys P.R.O. ($160, pictured)
