I was wondering how those golfers living in seasonal states stay tuned up throughout the winter. I live just south of Oswego, NY. We got 144 inches of snow in seven days last year. Winter can be tough and its hard to maintain good golf form throughout, and trips to Golf Galaxy everyday might get a little bizzare. Any advice?

It's kinda aggrivating taking lessons in the winter because in a dome situation, you barely see any results within shot shaping. Sure, you can work on your setup and chipping off a mat but it's a whole different animal when you're in some Bermuda.

While Southwest Ohio doesn't get anywhere near 144 inches of snow like your area (hopefully that is), it does get cold here. Myself, I keep playing all year long; if the temperature gets around 40 degrees and the ground is clear, we play.

Also, about 5 minutes from me is a driving range with heated tees. Beats nothing. Oh, and much to the dismay of my wife...there's a whole lot of putting on the living room carpet.

I just hit the gym and do lots of stretching. I have a bad back so stretching is critical for me in the winter months, do some weights as well. As far as hitting balls is concerned, I dont even pick a club up until end of February, beginning of March.

I go to the dome once or twice a week and hit about 30 balls, only work on the swing and make sure I hit solid shot with a good turn.
Really doe's no good to go pound 90 balls with no reason other than to just be hitting the balls.

I plan on visiting the dome or heated practice tees, both within a couple of mile of my work. Also playing if its not too windy.

Multiple mentions of "domes" on this thread. Can anyone explain?

Inside driving range, a large inflated dome covering the range (set up in winter only). Here is a pic of the

one I'll go to.

      This Putting Product Actually Seems Like it May Have Some Value.

      I always get adds for "Find your Eastern European Soulmate" I think it's a nifty gadget to have at home. If your going to do a dedicated putting session I could see setting it up. Thanks for sharing.

      Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By billchao ·

      It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.

      Tell me you've not seen Bill play without telling me you've not seen Bill play? 😄 Just teasing @billchao. 😄

      And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
