Off-season golf advice

Amanda Minchin

It’s hard to believe that there are only four weeks left in the golf season (insert sad face).

And maybe you are one of the lucky ones who will head down to somewhere warm this winter and play more golf. If you are, enjoy. If you are spending your winter here at home there are a few things you can do to help with your golf itch and that will help your game come springtime.

Indoor golf simulators are gaining more and more popularity, especially in our climate when hitting balls outside is unheard of from November to March. With the latest and greatest technology, you can play some of the best golf courses in the world.

Depending on how new the technology is, you can expect to have relatively accurate numbers in terms of distance. Even if the technology is considerably older, you can still enjoy indoor golf with a group of friends or on your own.

There are also many golf instructors who do indoor winter teaching. This is another way you can enjoy some winter golf and hone your skills. It’s important to remember that an indoor lesson will likely vary greatly from an outdoor lesson.

With an indoor lesson, you won’t be able to focus as much on ball flight like you would with an outdoor lesson. That being said, indoor training in the winter can be beneficial to you come spring time.

If you would like more information on indoor golf simulators and lesson, please see your local PGA of Canada professional.

See you in the spring.
