Winter Golf Training

In winter it is sometimes difficult to get to the golf
course.Head to the driving range with these tips to
improve your game over the winter.

Step 1: Proper Warm Up.
A lack of playing plus the cold weather will make your
muscles very inflexible. At this time of year over any other
period of the year it is very important for you to warm up
properly. Try taking a couple of clubs from you bag and
swinging them together in a constant motion throughout your
whole golf swing. Alternatively you could buy a weighted
club made by Momentus Golf, they are not designed to hit a
balls with This should ensure you don~t get an injury.

Step 2: Check you Posture
Posture is very important and can be checked with the use
of a mirror. Many bays now have mirrors. Place the shaft of
a club across your back it should touch at the back of your
head, across your back between the shoulder blades and at
the base of the spine. With the club along your back bend
over and bend your legs, ensuring that the club still
touches the three contact points. Make sure you bend your
knees and you should be in the perfect position.

Step 3: Look at your Release
A smooth release is a very important part of any Golf swing.
Start with a 10 to 2 swing ie where you hands on the back
swing are at 10 o~clock and your hands at the end of the
swing should be 2 o~clock. The best to club to use for this
exercise is a 8 or 9 iron. Follow through smoothly trying
to improve the coordination of arms and body.

Step 4: Record a Video
Record your swing on video if either you or a friend have
a camera. The video can capture your swing from a number
of angles enabling you to see the errors that you are
making. It is the best way of ironing out any faults.

Step 5: Chipping
The driving range has a number of different range flags,
so use them. It is an ideal place to practice your
chipping game. It adds variety to your time down the range
plus the mat makes a perfect place to practice chipping from
a tight lie.

Step 6: Check your Alignment
Another good exercise at the range is to put a club along
your toes to ensure that your feet are at 90 degrees to the
ball. This will help you ensure that you line up correctly
for your shots.

Step 7: Shaping Your Shots
To simulate a draw stand with your left foot closer to the
ball than your right foot, if you are a right handed player.
Try to hit the ball straight down the range, as this
simulates a draw.
To practice a fade make sure you stand with your left foot
facing further away than you right. Again try to hit the
ball straight down the range. This simulates a fade.

Step 8: Get in Line
Many golfers are prone to slicing the ball. To determine
whether you excessively slice the ball, place three balls
in line and then take out the middle one. If you hit the
outside ball when you swing you are slicing. The goal is to
hit the inside ball without hitting the outside one.

Step 9: Take a Friend
If you can~t get a video camera get a friend to look at
your swing for you. He can tell you about posture, and
swing etc. Remember is important to concentrate on the
basics.

Step 10: Practice a Round
A way to simulate a round at the practice range is to play
a number of different shots. Hit a wood, then a 7 or 8 iron
followed by a 20yd chip. You then get to play a number of
different shots instead of practicing hitting with one club
for a number of repetitive hits.
