When it's dark out or raining or whenever I just feel like working on my game for 10 minutes, I try to think of ways to practice in-doors. I have 2 things I do. First, I have a chipping net that I can chip into from off the carpet. I usually set up from about 10 feet away and try not to miss the net so it doesn't smack into the wall and annoy my wife. (I usually put some throw pillows along the baseboard behind the net.) Second, I'll go into the garage where I have a smooth concrete floor and try to putt from near the main door back towards the house. The floor has a nice soft pitch away from the house entrance so that when I putt that direction, it always rolls back to me. I found this one, in particular, has helped me with keeping my putting stroke straight.
Do you have any ways to practice in-doors? I'd love to hear them! |

Practice inside all time. Can putt and chip in my basement and make slow, half swings with all of my other clubs. I don't look at as much as practice as I do something to make me not bored. Love being able to practice whenever I want basically.

Just putting and chipping. I think the chipping has helped.

My club has a launch monitor so I hit balls 3 times a week there. At home I have set up a practice station with a video camera shot from my toeline to view on a big screen tv in front of me as I work on swing plane. I putt...but mostly on my club's indoor putting green.
Then once a week I play golf on a simulator to make sure I am swinging all my clubs throughout the off season. |

I just basically bought a 4' x 12' piece of close mat carpet at Lowe's and put it in my garage for putting. For full swings, I bought the foam golf balls to hit against my garage door with a practice mat underneath (I was using the "whiffle" ball type, then realized I was putting dents in the garage door which ticked off the wife something fierce). But after checking out that swingbox thing, I think I really want that...any idea on how much that's going to cost?

I use the Medicus driver and 5 iron to practice on my shot. I have stopped slicing as much and I have learned how to control my tempo. I also have one of those putting greens, not the one for 1000's of dollars. I think it may be a tru green or something and I put and chip. I sometimes take my driver, iron, wedge, and woods and HIT FULL SHOTS IN MY HOUSE. I use some type of ball that I picked up from EW that you can actually hit anywhere in your house. You can hit the wall, you can chip it, you can even putt it. My wife thought I was nuts when I said, look honey watch this, and I took a full swing, and her mouth was wide open because she knew it was about to be a hole in the wall. These balls are amazing. They are for indoor use only. I really mean you can hit them anywhere. The medicus hinge system works if you put the time in and practice. When you are bombing them down the fairway, you will know all that swing practice (without a ball, just swinging) is paying off. Good topic.
