As I write this  the tempurature outdoors is hovering around 0*F, it seems that the summer golf season in Minnesota is an eternity away, but it's just around the corner. There are many activities that we can do in the off season to keep our bodies in shape and I will share some of those activities with you over the coming months as we get ready for another Minnesota golf season. There is no indication of where this video was taken, but it could at any school here in Minnesota for that matter. Birdie Balls limited flight practice balls make a great tool to keep your game sharp in the long Minnesota off season. Take a look at this video to see if it gives you any ideas. Until next time. I'll see you on the back nine!
