It's been snowing for a couple of days here, so what do you do to keep your game tuned? Practice of course.
Putt every day on carpet for stroke and pace. Distance control is much more important than reading breaks for most amateurs. Living room, family room, want a 16 on the stimpmeter? Kitchen floor! Practicing your putting stroke indoors will improve your on course game considerably. Typical Living room is about 18 feet long, that gives you a 16 foot practice putt. Work on control of your distance. 3', 6', 9', 12', the putts you always miss when it counts.
Have a large mirror? Practice your swing while watching your reflection. See where you are on plane and off. Look at your wrist set, your upper body position at the top position, how is your weight distribution? You can tell all these things in the comfort of your 70 degree living room. Do a super slow motion swing, should take about two minutes, you will notice all of your weak spots.
Have a net and practice tee? Set it up in the garage and swing a way. I use mine at least three times a week sometimes in the living room (only when my wife is away). Practice different set ups, straight shots, draws, fades. Just because you won't see the ball flight doesn't change the set up or swing. Keep the muscle memory tuned up and you will see a significant difference in your game next month.
Swing Easy, Practice Hard!
