Keep Your Golf Game Sharp All Winter

When cold weather sets in and full rounds of golf aren’t always an option, it doesn’t mean your game has to go into hibernation. Winter is actually a great time to refine your swing, build strength, and focus on fundamentals—all while still having fun. Whether you’re practicing at home, spending time at our driving range, or booking a session at an indoor facility like the Hammi Golf Lab located at The Centre at Mariners Landing, there are plenty of ways to stay golf-ready year-round.

Practice Your Golf Swing at Home

You don’t need a full course or even a lot of space to work on your golf game. At-home practice can help reinforce good habits and improve consistency.

Easy at-home practice ideas:

Mirror work: Practice your swing in front of a mirror to check posture, alignment, and swing plane.

Grip checks: Spend a few minutes each day making sure your grip is correct and comfortable.

Tempo drills: Use slow, controlled swings to focus on rhythm and balance.

Putting practice: A putting mat or even a carpeted floor can help you work on stroke mechanics and distance control.

Use the Driving Range to Maintain Your Golf Game

On milder winter days, our driving range is a great option for keeping your swing fresh. Short practice sessions can be just as effective as long ones.

Range tips for colder weather:

Warm up thoroughly to avoid injury and improve flexibility.

Focus on short irons and wedges to dial in accuracy.

Work on specific targets instead of just hitting balls.

Indoor Golf Practice at the Hammi Golf Lab at Mariners Landing

When it’s simply too cold to be outside, indoor golf is the perfect solution. The Hammi Golf Lab at The Centre at Mariners Landing offers a high-tech, comfortable environment where you can practice, play virtual rounds, and analyze your swing.

Due to increased interest, hours of operation at the Hammi Golf Lab have expanded to keep up with demand. It’s a fun and effective way to stay engaged with the game all winter long.

At-Home Golf Exercises to Improve Strength and Flexibility

Staying active off the course can lead to noticeable improvements once you’re back on it. These simple exercises can be done at home and are great for golfers of all skill levels:

Core rotations: Strengthen your core to increase power and stability in your swing.

Planks: Improve balance and posture control.

Squats: Build lower-body strength for a more powerful and consistent swing.

Shoulder stretches: Maintain flexibility and range of motion to prevent injury.

Balance drills: Practice standing on one leg to enhance stability throughout your swing.
