At home
A putting mat, a net in the garage, or ten feet of carpet is enough to practice golf. Strike work, pressure putting, and touch games that need no course and no daylight.
Streak of Twenty-Five
15 minA putting mat's flat, honest surface is the perfect pressure chamber: twenty-five short putts in a row, restart on any miss. The stroke is easy; putt nineteen with the streak alive is where you learn what your routine is really made of.
The Towel Behind the Ball
15 minA net hides ball flight, so home net sessions must grade the only thing left: strike. A folded towel a few inches behind the ball makes fat contact impossible to commit silently — hit the towel and you know, miss it and the strike was ball-first.
Landing Zones
15 minSoft-ball chipping across a room builds the exact skill greenside golf demands — landing the ball on a chosen spot at a chosen height — in the one arena where nobody can skull one over the green. Touch is trainable at home; this is how.
Mirror Checkpoints
10 minGrip and setup are the only parts of golf you can perfect without hitting a ball, and they decide more ball flight than anything that happens after. Ten minutes at a mirror, three checkpoints, no ball to distract you — this is how a swing gets rebuilt in the living room.
