Welcome silkysmooth!

You must be a hell of a player! Handicap index +1... especially in Minnesota! How do you keep up with your game during winter time? Hope to get some good advice! Anyway, good luck and I look forward to see you in the forum!

Well, I was a hockey player throughout HS & College. During college, I spent so much time at the range. Honestly, hours a day on the putting green, chipping, putting...etc...I started playing tournaments the past few years, and mentally working on my game in the offseason

I would play 6 rounds a week easy living 3 blocks from my home course...

Throughout the past 5 years, my handicap has gone from 8, to 6, to 5, to 1, to plus 1.

But now I have the biggest challenge ahead of me. I'm out of college, moved to a new city, have a full-time job, and won't be playing as much as I used to.

Lastly, I will add that stretching is the biggest part of my newly found success. I stretch pre and ALWAYS post-round. Yoga for Golfers is a great book to help keep me both flexible and focused on my breathing.

I putt for at least 30 mins a day in the winter in my room!!!

Thanks for the tips!
I will try to stretch more, too.
Good luck with your new job and your golf future!
