What are the advantages of winter golf?
- Practice creates masters

Those who practice playing in winter are guaranteed to be ahead in spring. Because that's how you stay in training. In addition, golf games are significantly more cost -effective in winter and less is going on in the places. So you can practice your blow and improve yourself. In addition, the movement in the fresh air is good for you, especially in winter.
Where can I best train?
In winter you have different training opportunities to stay in practice. On the one hand, you can train both putting as well as pitches and chips in indoor halls or on golf simulators. Indoor is particularly advantageous when it rains or snowing outside. In addition, golf courses for advanced users are also offered with the help of golf simulators. In addition, golf centers also offer courses for beginners with whom you can even practice until your ripening.
On the other hand, you can also golf on some golf courses in Germany.
But what are winter grass at all?
In the winter months, the greens of a golf course are usually very sensitive and need special care. Therefore, golf clubs offer you the winter golf on so -called winter grass. How does a winter green differ from a summer green? A winter green is primarily a short -mowed area on the fairway with a hole insert with flag. The winter green differs on the one hand in the size of Sommergrüns. So these are significantly smaller. On the other hand, the greens differ in their grass height. While Sommergrüns are 2.5 to 4 millimeters high, Wintergrüns are 6 to 12 millimeters high.
What do I have to consider in the Golf in Wintergrüns?
When golfing on Wintergrüns, you should primarily pay attention to not entering a frozen summer green. Because this destroys the grass structure of the greens. Therefore, you should also avoid entering other frozen areas.
Trolleys are usually prohibited in winter. In places where you are allowed, we recommend that you pull in winter bikes. Alternatively, a waterproof tragbag is ideal.
The winter grasses hardly allow the putty and spin due to the shortened area, but you should still repair pitch brands and give one or two short putt.
Combine golf free - vacation and golf
Why not escape the winter and go on vacation in a warmer area? In addition, there are numerous tour operators who offer special holiday trips for golfers. You stay in great luxury hotels and at the same time you can use their beautiful golf courses. Most of them also offer courses for beginners and advanced. The perfect combination of vacation and golf games!
