WINTER WEATHER
There are many reasons to keep playing and working on your game during the winter months. From a playing perspective, playing in different and challenging weather teaches you how to adapt to conditions, which is a crucial part of being a great golfer.
If you play in perfect weather all the time, you only learn to hit one iron, one distance. But if you play in wind and rain and cold, you learn to hit a pitching wedge 120 yards when it is blowing a gale downwind and a 4-iron 120 yards when it is snowing and blowing a gale towards you.
Also, from an overall game perspective, winter allows you time to practice without worrying about your score or result. In summer, you’re always playing competitions or matches. In winter, this isn’t the case, so you have the space to work on the weak areas of your game. With this in mind, my advice to all readers is: work out what areas of your game you need to improve and then get down to the range and start working on them. If you get out of your house and do this, you’ll make next year your best year yet
