Here in the Pacific Northwest, it seems like the majority of our golf courses shut down just as the weather was getting nice. Sure, we had some rain just after that, but multiple sunny days are currently in the forecast.
Sheltering in place seems like a tougher and tougher option, especially in our house where my 16-year-old son has one of the worst cases of the golf bug I’ve ever seen.
So what can you do if a round of golf isn’t an option?
Every major golf website has been putting out tips and tricks to help improve your game at home. A quick run through their social media channels will give you drills for polishing every part of your game, as well as routines for getting both stronger and more flexible while you wait for your local course to reopen.
This may also be the time to tackle that big at-home project. We put a synthetic green in 15 years ago and it was finally time to pull the turf up and level the entire green out again. We installed the green ourselves, so I can tell you that it’s not an impossible task. You can find detailed plans and instructions on the Internet and materials are available for home delivery.
