When old man winter raises his ugly head, golfers in Canada must prepare for another season of hibernation. Five lousy months of empty-handed practice swings, putting on the carpet and exaggerated recollections of the past season's exploits. But it doesn't have to be that way.

A little muscle and increased flexibility will at least help keep you injury free for the upcoming year. And, if you're really determined to lower that handicap, you may want to call upon your local golf pro for a few lessons. But, if the sight of snow and sleet buries your golfing spirit, don't brood.
