winter training

[Eore]

so we just installed a sliding net with an astroturf mat in our garage so i can practice over the winter-wisconsin sucks-just out off curiosity, what do other people use to train in the winter, or do you train?

I hear ya, I have a driving range that is open year round with stalls (kinda like a horse stall but open in the front) and overhead heaters.

If not there I have the wiffle type balls that I can fire at a concrete wall in my office.

I too am thinking about getting a net of some sort so I can practice indoors (open for suggestions).

I practice @ the driving range all year long. When it's raining, snowing, windy, when meteorites fall from the sky, even when hell is freezing over .. I'll be on the driving range No pain, no gain
Seriously, I practice at the driving range all year long but we do have stalls.
I also have some good winter gear (windstopper, gore tex jacket, hat, warm gloves) that keeps we warm when mr. Freeze is in town.

go to the range, anytime i play will be with half a set and all the wetgear on - keep warm and dry!

new years resolution - do some non-golf exercise - gym work, yoga, running - and work on the mental game - read a book or 2.

id consider these things winter training! when the summer comes, no excuses :p

Well since it doesnt get colder than about 35 here in the Winter i can still play. I live in a gated community and I live like 400 Yards from a range. Also I live on the 18th hole so I can practice anywhere.

I like to do most of my strength training so I don't have to worry about soreness during the regular season. Also most of my golf practice is either finess shots with a shag-bag at the baseball field or proper positions in my swing so I don't get any bad habits installed and so the correct movents become a habit during spring.

Enjoy the cold!

I like to go play hockey.

But otherwise I'll make a weekly trip to the range with heated stalls just to keep things swinging.

And putt in the house on the rug.

My local range is stalled w/ overhead heaters. Although I occasionally just go to the one near me that is completely outdoors just because I like the crisp winter air.

I hate using glove though. It messes up my swing.

As for the indoor net, we used to have one in the garage but now a car sits there so we sold it. I never used it that much anyway.
