TRAINING AIDS
THE GREAT
INDOORS
When the weather keeps you
off the course, there are plenty
of indoor training products to
help keep your game sharp
A
s the familiar holiday song goes,
"the weather outside is frightful,"
but Frank Sinatra surely wouldn't
have let that stand in the way of keeping
his golf swing in tune. Despite the dwin-
dling daylight hours and colder tempera-
tures in many parts of the country this
time of year, you don't have to give up
your golf game in winter. Fortunately there
are plenty of products available to help
keep your game sharp indoors.
PERSONAL LAUNCH MONITORS
If you're
serious about improving your game, investing in a launch
monitor is a no-brainer, and you can't go wrong with the
Rapsodo Golf MLM2PRO Mobile Launch Monitor +
Golf Simulator. Designed using radar technology and
machine learning, the portable unit provides pro-level
data so golfers can analyze their swing with metrics like
distance, ball speed, smash factor with data visualization,
club gapping, shot dispersion and more.
Other top options include Voice Caddie, Garmin
and Swing Caddie, as well as a number of pre-
mium launch monitors that offer enhanced capa-
bilities along with a higher price tag. SHOP HERE
PUTTING MATS
Legendary Green Bay Packers
football coach Vince Lombardi is known for saying
"Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect prac-
tice makes perfect." And thus the Perfect Practice
brand of putting matts are an ideal fit for working
on perhaps the most important part of your
game. Roll this out in your living room while
watching Sunday football, and you'll see
the results when it comes time to
drain those downhill eight-foot-
ers with a match on the line.

HITTING NETS AND MATS
If you're looking to build a fully-equipped indoor
training area in your home or garage, you'll need to add a hitting net and mat to your
setup. For nets, you can't go wrong with the offerings from Pure2Improve or the
GoSports Golf Practice Hitting Net. There are a num-
ber of different sizes and styles available, including
solid options from World of Golf Deluxe and Callaway.
Key factors are choosing the right size for your indoor
space and focusing on quality and durability.
When it comes to hitting surfaces, the GoSports 5x4
PRO Golf Practice Hitting Mat, Callaway's Strike
Zone and the Pure2Improve Dual Turn Hitting Mat are
all worthy of consideration. And being able to hit from
both fairway-length turf as well as rough may just make
a difference when you get back outdoors. SHOP HERE
