Do you still practice during the winter or off-season?

[Vistaget]

Greetings everyone! Curious how you’re staying sharp on your golf game before spring arrives.
Even though winter is in full swing and many courses are quieter, a lot of golfers are still putting in the work — indoor ranges, gym training, swing adjustments, you name it.
We’d love to hear from you:
Do you keep practicing during the winter/off-season?
What kind of training do you usually do?
Indoor range, swing mat at home, or do you travel somewhere warmer to play?
Feel free to drop some winter-practice moments too

Zip, zilch, nada. I just get out when the course is open, 5 layers on, and enjoy the walk. Winter golf is a bonus and I don't take golf seriously enough to do specific off season training.

 

[Imurg]

Well...I'd need to start practicing in the first place.......

 

[Klimski]

I have never practised this much during winter, mainly because our group has played a ton of indoor golf as well as going for a winter lesson cycle. I am confident that I will hit the new season in peak form (if only haha).

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Just play on the course - that’s practise fo me

 

[louise_a]

I just play when I can

I love practicing and hitting balls more so in the winter as playing time is reduced. So normally it would be lots of time on the range, plenty of time in the short game area as I really enjoy it plus general gym work for health and fitness.

 

[Neilds]

Go to the range once a week (and tonight is that trip) and play every couple of weeks in the winter. Range is partly to practice and partly to get out of the house for some fresh air

 

[Orikoru]

Yup, still going to the driving range every Thursday night. It gives me an extra fix of hitting golf balls when I'm only playing a round once a week.

I really need to force myself to get down the club on Tuesday lunchtimes to practice my chipping and putting. Yesterday, sadly, I couldn't be bothered. Was cold though.

 

[Mel Smooth]

Can't say I really practice anyway. I take the lad to the range - he practices regularly, I'll hit the odd ball but that's it.

 

[nickjdavis]

I play throughout the winter. Dont go out with many expectations with the ground conditions being what they are.

I still go and hit the range now and again during the winter but in truth...playing is my practice.

 

[Yorkhacker]

Trying to get to the range 2-3 times a week as I'm having a lesson a fortnight over the next few months, and want to be ready for the new season.

Playing 3 times a week if the weather permits.

 

[Bunkermagnet]

Don't practice any time of the year.

 

[FuzzyDuck]

Clubs haven't been out since the end of October, unlikely to be touched again until April.

 

[wjemather]

I play golf most weeks, whatever time of year it is. That's it.
Every shot I hit on the course is practice for the next time I have a similar shot to play.

 

[Orikoru]

Clubs haven't been out since the end of October, unlikely to be touched again until April.

You only play for six months of the year?? Your game must be in pieces each time you come back.

 

[chrisd]

I have a 52 hour agreement for using our club's simulator so generally I do a weekly visit

 

[arnieboy]

I play three times a week during winter, weather permitting. That's my practice.

 

[Klimski]

One fun thing over the winter is that the youngest of our golf group is really starting to challenge me for the spot of 'lowest handicap' of our group. I am not very competetive by nature, but I am getting a kick out of seeing how long I can hold him off the top spot. Top spot is not very lofty... currently 17.9 hehe. He's at 22 right now but playing much better.

 

[jim8flog]

I know longer practice due to age and injury .
When a lot younger my winter practice was the same as my summer practice - anytime, any place, anywhere, as much as I could get in.
