Host Rich Roth welcomes Geoff Redgrave, Director of Golf at Wintergreen Resort, to this week’s Locally on the links. They covered winter golf tips, indoor practice, and gift ideas. Wintergreen’s lower Stoney Creek course often stays open, allowing for potential ski-and-golf days.

For winter practice, Geoff emphasizes fitness, daily stretching, indoor putting with a mirror for alignment, and short game work using foam/wiffle balls in a garage or basement. He suggests using portable launch monitors like the FlightScope Mevo for data, even when hitting into the snow. Winter is the best time to make swing changes, and he highly recommends indoor facilities and lessons using simulators like TrackMan to fix setup and groove the swing.

Holiday gift ideas include Wintergreen/golf store gift certificates, re-gripping clubs, accessories, golf balls/gloves/hats, and portable launch monitors. He advises against buying major equipment without a professional fitting or waiting for a demo day.
