So I've been spending some time in the simulators at Braeben the past couple weeks, which is a total blast. It's fun to play all the different courses, and hit balls on a range and see my ball dispertion.

However, I'm going to resist the urge to keep smashing away all winter, because the best thing I can do over the off-season is get my body moving better come spring time. Just like our boys Sydney Crosby and Steven Stamkos, and all other great athletes, they take the off-season to get healthy and stronger.

I will do some fine skills training, however. I had a lot of success last year just working on hitting some pitches into a net. I feel that impact is fairly similar for all shots off the ground, whether it is a small chip or full 3-iron. By working on my impact fundamentals at slow speed, it isn't taxing on my body physically, but is a nice reminder for my brain of how I want the club to be aligned as it strikes the ball.

Come up to Braeben and see us, or give me a shout if you would rather do some learning in the Hamilton or Burlington area!!

Stay tuned for more...
