Sad as it may be, golf’s offseason is closing in. The leaves have turned, the temps have dropped and your clubs are getting less and less use. It’s the worst time of the year for golf fanatics, but the offseason does present an opportunity — one for you to improve your game.
Best putting training aids of 2022: 9 devices to help you roll it pure on the greens
Weather might limit the amount of time you can play over the next few months, but that doesn’t mean your game has to suffer. Instead, you can use the offseason to get in some quality practice and fine-tune your swing for the season ahead.
The best way to do that is by investing in some quality training aids. It can be frustrating to make a swing change during the season, but now that things have slowed down, it’s the perfect time to buy a training aid and iron out the kinks in your swing before spring.
Below, we’ve highlighted some of our favorites from this year, and ones that we think can improve your swing for the upcoming season. Keep reading to check them out, or head on over to GOLF.com’s Pro Shop for even more options.
