Take your time when warming up on the range, starting slow with your wedges and working your way up to your drivers. Understand Winter Golf Rules Before you even step foot on the course, it's important to know the winter rules of your country club.

Bonus tip: If you do decide to use a golf cart, always bring a towel or two with you! Don't Forget to Have Fun! Nice and easy!
