Well Southern Ontario appears to be in the firm stranglehold of winter, golf 2008 is officially in the books! Now I know there is already a thred for our goals in the 09 golf season and there's another about the dreaded range mat. So I won't go into those, but for most in order to obtain the goals we've set out for ourselves at least some practicing is need correct??
For some those awful driving range mats are all we have to keep or swings in shape. I refuse to use them because of the damage they could cause to my clubs. I put a lot of money into that set, why wreck them practicing?? I do like the idea of using a junker set, I will most likely be looking into that, or at least a few clubs. For me the majority of my practice time is indoors, in the comfort of my home. I'm not a huge fan of practice. I would much rather be out playing a course somewhere, but its winter so really I have no choice! I spend a lot of my time working of fundamentals, like chipping, putting, and some pitch shots (I use foam balls, so no broken things... yet!) I also have a weighted club that I can use to practice slow motion full, half and quarter swings. My goal in all of this is to create the base for a solid set-up when it comes time to actually put what I've practiced into use. I will use the range, maybe twice when spring is a little closer and after I've practiced all the fundamentals for a couple months.
What does everyone else do, that has to live through these brutal few months with our golf courses closed and under ice and snow?? I'm sure there are a few snowbirds that go south, and others that just sit it out til spring.
