Winter Golf Withdrawal Symptoms
platgof ·


I am having a hard time with the weather being very cold, and not being able to play golf. The idea of waiting for warm weather is driving me nuts. Snow is on the forecast and that does not help at all. I guess I can read about golf swing improvements, but is that like throwing logs into the fire? I can only clean and resort my clubs so many times. I need support!

Since we shut down for the winter I have:
- Bought three new shafts for driver testing.
- Ordered a new 4W for Christmas
- Taken apart my irons and re-swingweighted them
- Measured and adjusted the lofts on my irons
On a plus side, I'm going to a golf simulator twice a week.

Not being able to play when you have a new bit of kit to try can just make the symptons worse...

4) Bought a Country Club Elite mat
5) Trying to get a fitness routine focused on core/stability work to stick
6) Trying to get started with the SuperSpeed Golf training which I bought around this time last year and didn't use...

Best solution is to move somewhere where it's possible to play golf year round, or mostly year round.

Here is a chime from Arizona. Only in the 60's all week. Brrrrrrr!
I watch YT vlogs of guys in UK playing when it's in the 30's (F), rain, sleet, snow, 5 layers of clothes and playing some pretty good golf. Get's in the 40's and I can't swing, ball goes nowhere, feels like a rock. I don't know how they do it. I don't mind the cold (I was a ski bum for 6 years), I just can't play (well) in those conditions.

As an architect please don't remove the floor joists. I also have a lower height basement that I practice in but just adjust to half swings, etc. but it can be annoying.. Outdoor heated ranges are the only option unless you can find a course that stays open through the winter months. Thankfully I have both somewhat near me, but it's still not the same. Keeps you from going a little nuts without golf though.

See, once the sun comes up, long pants can get too hot. But shorts can be too cold if the wind is blowing.
And don't even get me started on whether to put on the full sleeve pullover or the half sleeve.
Winter sucks!
