I walk the executive courses. I started wearing walking shoes years ago. Teaches me to have quiet feet, sometimes. Much more comfortable for me.

I have too and I can't see how without slipping.

Safety Consideration
 
You can easily slip on wet grass due to the motion of a golf swing. You want to avoid taking the chance of slipping and getting hurt for the price of inexpensive golf shoes. I recommend the ones without removable cleats and, waterproof kind, that way, your feet stay dry.

Sounds like cleats are not allowed.

While you can play in sneakers or golf shoes, golf shoes are made to play in both rain and shine. My golf shoes are comfortable even in wet weather. They clean up easily and I can change into my dry shoes when I get home.

I’ve seen people wear t-shirts or only have one set of clubs for two people.

Collars are required for men. I also thought using one set of clubs for two people was not allowed, but I've been looking for the source & can't seem to find it.

I don't know if it's a rule here in the villages about sharing clubs but it would drastically slow play for the groups behind. I wouldn't want someone using my clubs nor would I use others.

There is a rule. Here is an excerpt from "golfthevillages.com":

"Each golfer on the executive courses is required to be equipped with a set of golf clubs. Sharing of clubs is not permitted due to pace of play concerns."

If you are in the market for golf shoes, hit the shop in Brownwood, they always have a sale going on....

I agree those who wear cleats and shuffle or scuff along do extreme damage

Have you ever seen a new golfer that could swing hard enough to slip on a tee?

99% of the golfers in TV don't swing hard enough to slip on the Tee.

Not true! Shoes (foot covering) are required.
