Set up an at-home practice area wherever it works best for you, like a spare room, the garage, or in your basement. Hit golf balls into a net or simply swing a golf club (even a weighted club). pro Kevin Piecuch said, "If you can do 25 to 50 swings a day with a heavy club, I find it makes a big difference come spring." Hit golf balls into an indoor net. Tour player coach Rick Smith said hitting balls into a net helps you focus on mechanics, tempo and muscle memory (instead of worrying about ball flight, distance, etc.).

I clicked and up popped the opening for a new commissioner to replace outgoing commissioner Mike Whan, who is headed to the USGA. The Commissioner serves as the face and voice of the LPGA and, in concert with Board direction, leads the organization in all strategic business and management functions. The mission for the next Commissioner will be to continue the growth and momentum the LPGA has achieved. Beyond that, the next leader will work closely with the Board and our key constituents to set the strategy and vision for the LPGA; maintain and build new relationships with external partners; launch new, innovative ways for fans to connect with the LPGA; and attract more interest and support for our mission to provide opportunities for women and young girls to achieve their dreams in golf.

The 27-year-old Greyhound bus driver and 34 passengers were traveling westbound, the opposite direction from the Hogans, when Logan decided to pass a six-wheel freight hauler lumbering along the fog-shrouded road. At one point during the long ambulance ride to El Paso, he gripped an imaginary golf club in his hands and waved back a gallery to the left of a dreamy fairway. While eating breakfast that morning in El Paso, a young golf pro overheard a waitress say there was a terrible accident east of Van Horn. On April 1, Ben Hogan, weighing 120 pounds, left the hospital on a gurney and boarded a train for Fort Worth, completing the journey he and his wife had begun two months earlier.

But I found this story in the Los Angeles Times (published Wednesday morning) to be a thorough recap of the single-vehicle crash, Tiger's injuries, and the apparently dangerous stretch of road where he lost control of his SUV and "rolled and rolled. Woods was taken to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center where he underwent "a long surgical procedure" on his lower right leg and ankle, according to a statement the golf legend released on Twitter late Tuesday. Also of interest are the locals' descriptions of this "curvy, steep stretch of Hawthorne Boulevard" and the somewhat frequent incidents: Donnie Nelson, a resident of Rolling Hills, said that stretch of Hawthorne is the site of dangerous accidents once or twice a year.... [Bob] Fong knows how tricky the steep curves on Hawthorne Boulevard can be — so much so that near the crash site, there is a runoff lane for use in emergencies.
