As I write this it’s 29 degrees outside and needless to say, there won’t be any golf played in the Northern US today. Or will there?
If you’re a student-athlete at a school where the Athletic Director has had the foresight to build an indoor practice facility, there sure will be golf played today, or practiced at the very least.

Colleges and Universities around the Northern United States are aggressively building indoor practice facilities which are proving to keep their golf teams sharp and keep their spring scores lower than ever.
Recruiting Top Golf Talent
Historically schools located in areas with a 10-12 month golf season were able to gobble up all the top talent, leaving only the next level talent for the Northern Schools. Well, guess what? We have some good schools up here and the addition of a high-end indoor practice facility will make a significant difference while recruiting top-level players from around the country.
Bring on the Winter!
