I grew up listening to Dean Martin and his classic “Let It Snow”…love him to death. My problem is hearing that song in my head when two snowstorms smack you within a couple days of each other. Yes Dino, the weather outside is quite frightful but shoveling that crap is bull! I’m convinced this song is meant for people that are in school, grades K-12. Snow day!
Wait. Why can’t we enjoy our snow days too? Yes, shoveling does suck big time but why not make this negative a positive? Consider the shoveling some exercise for your golf swing. After a quick bite…and a nap, break out that putting mat and those plastic practice golf balls and turn your snowed-in castle into a word class golf course.
Once the roads have been cleared enough to drive safely, another option would be to head out to an indoor golf facility or treat yourself to some new clubs. You know, a little custom fitting like the guys at Express Golf do in the UK. I wish there was something like that closer to me.
I guess the point here is that just because the weather or winter keeps us off the course it doesn’t mean we have to forget about golf. I do have to warn you though…the old lady wasn’t too fond of me when I was standing on the couch trying to explain to her my ball is in the “sandtrap”. And to make matters worse, I was out in 3…oof!
Hit’em long…yell FORE!!!
