When it’s winter time, do you put your clubs away and forget about your game until next season? Many hobbyists do. However winter is a great time to keep up with your practice.
There is no substitute for actually hitting a golf ball but this doesn’t mean that practicing your swing with a club in your hand is pointless. You need to practice your grip, your backswing, your follow through, and everything else. You can certainly do this at home when not on the course.
Remember too that for many, the off season lasts several months which means you can easily become physically stiff and lose that rhythm that’s needed to maintain a good game. On the other hand, if you keep up a good routine even in the winter months you’ll be physically looser and will be able to work out some of those major points of your swing that will then help you when you are ready to actually start hitting real balls again.
