Now is your chance to add variety to your golf experience. The Colorado AvidGolfer Golf Passport allows you to play 53 courses at discounted rates. To many, the Broadlands is much too expensive to play. With the discount of the 2010 Golf Passport, from June 1- August 31, You can play for $30. Quite the bargain if you ask me! The Passport is only $79.95, which for the avid golfer pays itself off almost immediately. Some courses charge that for one green fee, even if its not necessarily the nicest or most prestigious golf course in Colorado. You are probably questioning, what is the price for a cart. The Passport even includes the rental cart! Looking to establish a handicap this season? The Golf Passport has an option, for just an extra $20, to have a USGA handicap, as well as a membership in the Colorado Golf Association.

There are a few days here and there that you can get out, but for the most part, there is no golf. I know quite a few people who go to indoor facilities to practice. In my opinion, indoor facilities don’t really help that much. There isn’t that much about indoor that replicates reality. I think the best thing that a golfer can do in the winter is to exercise and workout.

I’m not talking about a run-of-the-mill exercise program, but a golf focused workout routine. There have been several fitness instructors that have recently focused on golf fitness. These instructors have developed plans to work your body to become more effective on the course.

You don’t have to pay a ton of money for personal training to get golf fit. Do a little research online and you will find a ton of information about good golf fitness and you can develop your own workout to get into golf shape.

I think this is a much better use of your time during the winter and I think you will see better dividends than if you went to a crummy indoor practice facility.
