No matter how cold it is, I can't give up
A series of severe cold spells are rampant. Nevertheless, many people who enjoy golf go out for a round. Of course, winter golf has its advantages.
First of all, green fees are cheaper compared to the season, and the fairways and greens are frozen, making it an unpredictable game where you don't know where the ball will land, so it is a great opportunity to compete with golfers who are more skilled than you.
Let’s find out how to prepare for ‘winter golf,’ which has unexpected advantages.
01 Warmth
In extremely cold weather, you must first warm your body. Maintaining your body temperature well can help prevent injuries and maintain flexibility. Lightweight innerwear that dissipates heat well is essential, and it is a good idea to attach a hot pack over your clothes. Prepare a portable hot pack in advance and put it in your pocket.
Wear a hat and neck warmer to block out the cold, and if you can afford to arrive at the golf course early, it is also helpful to warm up your body before coming out of the hot tub.
02 golf ball
In winter, white balls can be hard to spot because you never know when it will snow and the grass may not be green. It is a good idea to prepare colored balls so that you can easily distinguish them.
03 Rubber tee
Golf courses usually prepare iron bars with sharp ends in case the tee box is frozen, but if the ground is too frozen, even that is often difficult and it is difficult to adjust the tee height evenly. In this case, it is a good idea to prepare a rubber t-shirt that suits you in advance.
04 swing
Because your body is cold and you are wearing a lot of clothes, the swing will not be comfortable. Many golf experts advise a three-quarter swing.
It is best to hold the iron one club long and hold the grip slightly lower. Only then can you hit the ball accurately. If the ground is frozen, try shooting as if you were going to use wood rather than stamping. There is a risk of injury if you hit the ground, so be careful. The ground is frozen with a driver or wood, so if you hit it right, you can go further than usual, so this could be an opportunity.
Since golf in winter is less flexible, the risk of injury should not be ignored.
If you want to enjoy golf healthily and happily for a long time, keep the above points in mind.
