Winter Tips

Winter Golf Tip #1 - Walk don't drive
Don't use a cart in winter, you will get cold and your swing will suffer. Walk to stay warm.

Winter Golf Tip #2 – Warm hands
Ways to keep your hands warm - Velcro or otherwise attach mits to your trolley so you can put your hands straight in as you push.

Become Tommy Two Gloves for the winter. US PGA Tour player Tommy Gainey always weare a glove on each hand regardless of the weather. Winter gloves have improved considerably in recent years, I use a pair of Forgan winter gloves and find I still have good feel.

Carry some hand warmers in your pocket. 

Winter Golf Tip #3 - Warm balls
Cold golf balls don't fly as far as warm balls. Warm 2 balls on a radiator before you leave for the course. Keep them in your pocket until needed. Use each ball on alternate holes, keeping the other in your pocket to keep them as warm as possible. As long as you do not artificially heat the balls during the round you are within the rules.

Winter Golf Tip #4 – Know your winter club distances
Check your club distances now in readiness for winter - go to the practice ground and use the practice feature on your golf GPS to accurately measure your distances for each club. You will find your distances are significantly less in cold winter weather and little ground run.
