Golf Equipment – Where to Start On the Practice April in the Hamburg is traditionally the time when many golfers come out of winter hibernation, dust off the trusty old golf equipment and start to think about getting into shape for the new season. Not for them the long dark days of winter. Only hardened and completely dedicated players battle it out during the winter months. Cold, windy, wet, sleet, fog, snow showers and frozen greens are common conditions found between November and early March. And often they said conditions can all be found at some point during the same round of golf!
For myself I do actually play during the cold and dark days of winter, convinced by a belief that ‘keeping the swing going’ will benefit me when the good time weather days appear. Those that hibernate in winter are wimps by my standards. Or at least they were. Having started this Spring/Summer as badly as ever I can remember however, I have now decided that my approach to the game is all wrong. Golf during the cold months bears no resemblance to the real thing and come spring you have to totally change your game back to what it was last October. It’s almost as if you haven’t played for months.
