PLAYING GOLF IN THE WINTER

Around me there are various choices for practice during the winter time. We have a few "heated" driving ranges and the hours they operate are actually pretty nice as well. If you do a quick google search on driving ranges around your area and call them up they will be able to tell you if they're heated or not and the hours. If you want to actually play a "round of golf" than your options are somewhat less vast. In recent years several places have began offering "virtual" rounds of golf. There are clubs that you can actually join where you can schedule a tee time much like real golf and then go play in a foursome with a group of business associates or buddies while eating lunch and sitting on some nice comfortable couches in between shots! Technology is really an amazing thing because I have found that for the most part, besides actually having to hit out of sand or deep rough or driving through the woods to look for my ball, the machines are pretty darn accurate. There are websites that also offer interactive lessons to people who don't want to leave the comfort of their own home. As technology progresses so do the options to play golf in the winter on the east coast. Where do you practice and/or play during the winter months? I'd love to hear...or read rather!
