Why you should also train in winter: a guide for golfers

As the days get shorter and the temperatures drop, many golfers may be thinking of giving their clubs a rest until spring. But winter is a valuable time for targeted training and offers ideal opportunities to take your technique to the next level. Here are the reasons why it's worth staying active during the colder months.

1. maintain muscle memory

Regular training is essential to maintain momentum and technique. Just one training session a week with a coach and two additional sessions on your own can help to consolidate movements and maintain muscle memory. Continuous repetition prevents you from getting out of shape. This means you can return to the court in the spring with a consolidated technique without delay.

2. efficient technique improvement

Weekly input from a coach can be particularly valuable in winter. He or she recognises your weaknesses and offers targeted corrections. This personalised support allows you to work on your weaknesses and eliminate long-term mistakes. The quieter winter period offers the opportunity to refine technical fundamentals in a targeted manner and carry over improvements into the coming season.

3. simulator as a feedback tool

A golf simulator is an indispensable tool for winter training. With systems such as Trackman, SkyTrak or the JGolf Simulator, you can obtain precise data on your swing behaviour, including swing speed, ball flight and distance. This feedback allows you to continuously work on the crucial points and document your progress. By simulating real game situations, you can optimise your preparation for the next season and use the winter months effectively at the same time.

4. prevention of rust in winter

If you don't train during the winter months, you risk your technique and consistency deteriorating. With regular training, your form will remain stable and you will start the spring without falling behind and even with improved skills. The alternative - a long winter break - often means that you have to work hard to get back into shape in the spring.
