Have you guys found any particular storage solutions that work the best? I’m considering a waterproof tarp.

A tarp is a solid idea! I also use an old rubber mat underneath my golf mat during winter. It helps absorb moisture from the ground and keeps the mat dry.

23

I’m curious about how often everyone cleans their mats! I typically do it every couple of weeks, but I’ve read that more frequent cleaning can extend their life significantly.

I’d agree! I actually give mine a good clean after every use. You can’t be too careful with winter conditions!

25

Anyone else worried ice will damage the mats? I read about some mats curling from being frozen. What do you all do to prevent that?

26

Good point, tcole. Keeping them off the ground and elevated can prevent curling. I use wooden pallets when storing mine. It’s a simple fix that works!

Pallets are a brilliant idea! Thank you for sharing. Also, watch out for sharp metal ice scrapers, they can tear the mat easily!

I’ve seen some players just leave their mats outside in the winter. I think that’s risky! Anyone feel differently?

29

Honestly, I can’t believe people do that! I mean, investing in a good mat deserves proper care, especially in harsh weather.

In my experience, covering your mats with a tarp when not in use is effective in protecting them from snow and ice, while also keeping them clean. It’s easy and reliable!

Thanks for the tips, everyone! I’ve learned so much already. It’s important to care for our mats so we can keep enjoying golf all winter long!

I’ve been using the TrueStrike golf mat for winter practice. It feels close to real grass and helps with my swing consistency.

33

That sounds great! I’m considering getting a mat that allows for ball collection. Any suggestions for mats that have that feature?

I’ve found the DuraPro golf mat really helpful as it has a wider hitting area. It’s perfect for indoor setups!

35

Does it take up a lot of space? I’m looking to manage my small room effectively.

Space management can be tricky! I suggest using foldable mats. They can be easily stored after practice. Plus, don’t forget a net for safety!

37

Great point! What type of net do you use? I want something durable for indoor use.

38

I use the Rukket sports net. It’s sturdy and easy to set up and takedown. Perfect for those winter practice sessions.

Thanks for the recommendation! I also think adding some alignment sticks can enhance my practice.

Absolutely! Alignment sticks are game-changers for your setup. They help with consistency, especially during winter months!
