Re: No Golf in Winter

Like the rest of us chumps in Canada ... looking at a golf season from April to October ... so generally 4-5 months of snow.

This will be my 6th season. In previous years, I have:
- gone to a simulator occasionally but this just taught me to trick the sim - bad spring.
- went to the indoor range every 2-3 weeks, but I did not progress ... too much time between visits ... and too much thinking about my swing - very bad spring.
- putting only (last year) - putting improved greatly in the spring.
- done nothing or 1 or 2 visits - actually ok spring.

This winter I have gone to an indoor practice facility 4-5 days a week and practiced: chipping, putting, full and partial swings, flop and sand shots. The place also video analysis, but I had to limit myself to once a week or else it would have been every shot. Every swing had a purpose and I was not just swinging to "swing".

I am hopeful that this spring will be a good spring.
I will let you know.
