I'm thinking of joining a winter league that is played indoors on simulators. I have used these before and been impressed at how accurate they are for the long game - not the short. Wedge shots and putting are useless and are really a formality to move the game along.

Advantages are that (1) I can keep my game up with some sort of play, (2) get more used to competitive golf (which is new to me), and (3) not freeze my backside off in mostly unplayable conditions.

Disadvantages are (1) no real practice on my short game, (2) no practice with variable lies and rough, (3) only real practice is on swing mechanics and mental game.

Is it worth it, or should I just try to get in some range time every 2-3 weeks when there is a break in the weather?

I'm trying to gauge opinions of folks that have done it, i.e., does it hurt or help your game. There is a fee to join the league so I want to make sure I am not wasting my money.

I hope it's not a waste of time since I joined one already. Who says you can't hit the range or play outdoors occasionally as well?

Do you know how I got primed for golf this past season (after only playing once or twice for few summers)? Wii (TW '09) and reading golf posts on TST.

I hear that's how all the Tour pros prepare.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month.

      Day 291 6-22 full, faster swings, focusing on low point, missing towel. Recorded some face on and dtl. Practicing full speed changes is something I wasn't doing enough.

      Day 2 (22 Jun 26) - used the clip the tee drill today - focused on picking the tee and then collecting the divot.  Hit a few hard foam balls later in the session.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Club of the week, my hybrid. Stripe show on every shot. This one was probably the best. About 240 to the green. The ball was on a severe upslope. I hit it just off the back of the green (like 1-ft.

      That will sting for a long time. Had all the momentum in the world.  The on course heckling of WC a bit over the top. IMO, that may have even galvanized him. Kinda like RC. He may have picked up some sympathy too. So boo to the boos. I can't stand him (and it's not just the incidences) but I think when punishment outsizes the crime, the tide tend to turn. He has stuck to "I've earned the hatred" narrative. Smart kid.
