I am currently scheduled to spend several weeks over the next few months in the Seattle, WA area (specifically Bellevue / Redmond)  and I am looking for golf'ish' things that I can do to kill some time.

I plan to travel with my clubs occasionally and will likely play after work on those days, however on the weeks when I leave my clubs at home, does anybody have a suggestion on things I can do?  I am left handed, so a premium range with decent rental clubs / indoor golf simulators, etc.

I would prefer something that I can pay for (going to a store to demo clubs is fun, but the volume at which I am hoping to accomplish it might be considered stalking)

So anything that you can recommend I am all ears.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

*Update*

I have visited both golf stores in the area.  Puetz and Pro Golf.

Both stores had a good selection, and both stores let him demo clubs with very little pressure.  One provided a foresight simulator, and the other a guy watching my swing offering suggestions (I wouldn't go as far as to say a lesson, but a friendly story, and demo clubs still managed to kill an hour)

I have also visited 2 golf courses and 2 driving ranges while I have been there.

The courses I played were Bellevue and Wayne public

The driving ranges were Redmond and Bellevue

I throughly enjoyed Bellevue.  The course isn't very long but has alot of grown in tree's and is very hilly.  If I remember, I believe that I shot a 49/45 with a snowman on the first and last holes.

I played Wayne after that, but wouldn't play it again.  The played it backwards (10-18 followed by 1-9)  I would play the front 9 again, but would skip the back 9.  The back 9 is entirely shot of off matts.  The matts were old and being left handed, I was forced to hit off of the side of the matts that were caked in mud.  The front 9 was far more fun, but it had gotten dark by that point in time, and I lost several golf balls as a result.

Next time I visit, I hope to visit Wolfs run as I have been told it is a very nice course.

      Golf Workouts

      Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ConorHealy · Posted

      Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.

      PING G425 9 Iron Rattle/Noise

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
