Golf is a tradition-bound industry, and not the easiest tobreak into when you’re asking golfers to change their ways.Or their spikes, in this case. Rather than win them over oneby one, we went to their country clubs, and convinced thememberships to ban metal spikes on the grounds that theycaused $40 million a year in damaged greens, clubhouses,and golf carts.
