This may have been covered already and I know winter is a ways off but: What do you do during winter months to get your golf fix?

Now, I'm talking to us unfortunates that can't play warm, sunny courses all year round beach.gif . I'm in Michigan and would like to hear what you do keep you from carving a 4 1/4" hole in your living room floor and driving balls into a wall covered with stacked couch cushions. Can you golf in winter? Do people do that? I just started getting out to the course this year so it may be a stupid question. I know there are a few facilities near me that have indoor driving ranges. But it's not the same as playing a round. So what do you do?

I live in Dallas, no snow but it does get cold. I wear ski socks, winter gloves, a beanie, long johns, an under armor under shirt, pants, golf shirt, wind jacket. Oh and you gotta have them toe warmers smile.gif You can still play here but its fairly uncomfortable. In Michigan I have no idea what I'd do. maybe you should just hit balls at your wall/cushions smile.gif

I watch Jim Tressel and the Buckeyes eat up on Michigan. tongue.gif

...okay, I couldn't resist.

I get fatter, try to make some $$$, work out, putt, tinker with bag setups, etc. Mostly, I like to not think about winter...it's JULY!!!!

Did you know that Meyer not only coached at OSU, but also attended? Ironic.

The ironic part is Florida whipping OSU at both football and basketball in the same year.

I play golf indoors during the winter, just to keep the swing going.

I live in CT. i get my fix a few ways.
1. A local range has covered bays. I hit balls every weekend.
2. One of the local courses on the coast opens up if there is no snow. it is cold as heck, but open. last year, the flags were frozen solid into the hole.
3. I make sure I take a vacation someplace warm.

Basketball was expected. Football was a shocker to say the very least. I thought it was over after 7 seconds...........I couldn't have been more wrong. Anytime you can beat Michigan, it's been a good year biggrin.gif

Well about 40 minutes at a local college there is an indoor training facuilty. There is a simulator, 4 nets, putting green, and chipping area. Best of all its warm. It's not like the real course but it's nice to keep your swing going. My dad and I try and get over there once or twice a month. When I get a car and my license I'd like to head over their every weekend. I'd also like to put a net, and a putting area in my basement for the winter.
