I get a short, kid's club and swing it in front of the tv and practice weight forward, or in front of a bathroom mirror, or swing that club with my head against a wall for steady head.  Develop a workout for the golf game.

And then schedule a trip to Southern California.

A local driving range has a very good simulator and I play once per week in their league.    One of the local pga pros usually has a winter tune-up lesson package which includes 10 trips to the indoor range.   Last year I started at the local yoga studio during the winter and probably will go back again soon.

I'm a member at a simulator facility that has HDgolf simulators. I'm there 4 or 5 times a week including a couple of leagues.  Not quite the same but it's good to keep swinging and the social aspect is great too.  Met many a golfing buddy there.

We usually head to Florida before Christmas as well but no time this year, arranging a weekend trip to Myrtle Beach area instead just before Christmas.

Last year I broke a light swinging in the living room...so no I wait for the lake near my house to freeze and belt crap balls out onto the lake. Until then I use my daughters micky mouse club and ball to play with her indoors

The trouble with your facility is you don't have anything of value that can be destroyed by a hooked or shanked shot. You need an unprotected window or television that'll provide an element of danger to those hitting into the nets.

Nice facility.

It's only November and I'm already banging my head against the wall. What do you all do to beat the offseason

Live vicariously through the "what'd you shoot today" posts of ST members living in warmer regions. Bastards!

Also, I have a workshop with a net and hitting mat. Inevitably, I'll go outside and hit into the yard just to watch the ball flight knowing full well that the balls will be lost until spring. I'll go through more golf balls this time of the year than I will during golf season.

How do I beat winter?, simple I lay as long as I can, like tomorrow, high of 27 degrees, plus 10 mph of wind. It'll be like chipping onto a glass coffee table

Slow mo swings in my spare room in front of a full length mirror, slow mo swings at the office when I have a few minutes at lunch, sneaking to the heated range a couple of times a month, and this year I'm going to try some indoor sims.

Normally I still hit the driving range or play...I live in Florida. This year though, I'm deployed to the middle east so I'm doing nothing golf related. Just working out. I'm fortunate because I typically hit my irons well no matter how long I lay off. My driver on the other hand will likely be a mess...I just ordered a new driver and I'm inconsistent off the tee anyway. My putting will be horrid because I don't put the work in.

I hunt.

Yep. When it's too cold for golf it's just right to hunt. Before I started playing golf I hunted all the time from September to February but after I started playing golf my hunting time reduced to bad weather.

The perfect day is to get a buck in the morning when the ground is still frozen and win the 12:30 game at the golf course after it warms up.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
