I remember reading Jack Nicklaus' autobiography, Golf My Way.
I read it over and over again. I read it in the Billings, Montana Public Library, in the dead of Winter during my Junior and Senior years of High School. Of course, I had plenty of time to dream about warm Summer days, cooped up in that Library cubicle, with snow swirling outside the window.
My dad said they only had 3 seasons out there: July, August and Winter. He was not far off.
Today's SAQ, Should've Asked Question, is a rarely asked question. But when you understand its answer you will really enjoy seeing lower scores. Your depth of knowledge about Golf in general, and your Golf Game in particular, will be greatly expanded.
In addition to reading golf instructional books, golf biographies seem to fit especially well into a Winter golf schedule. It's like you 'get to know' the person over the Winter, when you can't really try the things the instructional books prescribe.
Bobby Jones and Byron Nelson each have very good first-person accounts of their playing days, that help you get 'inside the head' of a golf master. Both of the books go into great detail. They describe the author's line of reasoning and decision-making as they matured into better and better players - and persons...fantasically valuable stuff for you as you seek to continually improve.
As I mentioned a few days ago, another thing you can do indoors...
Feel free to ask me any questions at all about where I think you should concentrate your efforts after you've made such a review.
if you do these two things a bunch this Winter, indoors - your outdoor Golf Game this Summer will be a lot more enjoyable - and simpler in your mind.
