Although winter for a lot of golfers is often a time to store away the golf clubs it is in reality an excellent period to get some serious practice and to break in new golf clubs or electric golf trolleys.
Let's be realistic; golfing during a cold, wet and windy winter may not be a pleasant experience. Yet for a lot of of us all year round golfers the discomfort we must tolerate during this time period is worth it in order to get a game and also to keep the momentum going. Yet how many of us bother to take advantage of this quiet period, often with preferred lies and forward tees, to work on our game and check out new equipment?
As winter becomes spring, and in most cases a couple of days ahead of the first major competition of the new season, you'll see practice grounds everywhere packed with golfers getting in some final preparation. For fine-weather golfers this is likely to be their first outing for several months while for others this, for reasons uknown, will probably be a final minute attempt to try to fix faults they've been conscious of for quite a while i.e. throughout the winter season.
In my opinion this method is definitely the wrong way round. Winter is the time when you ought to be taking lessons using your PGA professional, identifying faults and spending time to practice new techniques. Simply no point in waiting until right before the season starts as it's impossible to smoothly implement changes during a period when competitions are frequent and games will often be handicap qualifiers. Sort everything out in the wintertime is my recommendation and prepare early for the new season.
Exactly the same recommendation really goes hand-in-hand with pieces of new golf equipment, particularly new golf clubs. Simply no point whatsoever in investing in a new set right before the season commences and expecting them to revolutionise your game. It will take time to get accustomed to a new set of golf clubs with each having their particular characteristics. Distance control, shot-shaping and confidence all must be developed and all of this will take time. It won't happen overnight. To be able to start the brand new season off with a bang therefore, I'd certainly advise that you don't wait to make any intended purchases. Aside from the fact that you'll have some months over which to practice you should also have the ability to grab a fantastic bargain as numerous pieces of golf equipment are likely to be heavily discounted at this time of the year.
So, to sum up, make the best use of the winter. It will not always be comfortable being out there but if you do the right things your golf will be in great shape by the spring. Happy golfing.
