My Assistant Teacher, Ben Austin and I just videotaped our first installment of a Winter Practice Program for everybody. We gave a talk to our Member Coaching group Tuesday afternoon and it sparked an idea to give our blog readers weekly updates and nudges to make your golf game better during the winter.
Some of the games best golfers came from cold climates. These golfers had an opportunity each winter to get away from golf and get a fresh perspective. It was also a chance to practice indoors and practice in a mirror. Getting repetitions without a golf ball or with less consequences allows habits to develop (read "The New Rules of Golf Instruction" Chapter on Practice for more ideas on how to Practice effectively).
We are urging you to use this winter to really focus on skill-building. We will be posting videos to give you ideas of what to work on and how to work on it. We recommend a putting mat and an eyelinegolf.com Putting Plane training aid.
Watch the video below and tell your golfing friends to sign up for the blog to become part of our Winter Practice Program.
