Do you guys have any drills you do in the back garden?
I can't practise putting as my lawn isn't the flattest.

Chipping and short pitches for me plus swinging full shots.

I have a small garden but often chip into a hoop or upside down umbrella. Also, the air flow balls are pretty good if you feel like hitting some longer shots.

Yeah I seen they airflow balls I'm still worried about putting them five gardens down the road.
Might try pitching into a bucket. I was also looking online to get a square of astro turf to pitch from.

I like to hit full shots into my hedge as it is backed with a wire fence that stops any balls getting through.I just bought 6x4ft of practice mat,fake grass from a football pitch.It will save me divoting up the garden!

Due to the fact that I live quite rural and have a large garden at my disposal I have numerous options for practice. Putting green should be fully ready in late August, if I can stop birds from dropping bloody weed seeds on it!

Where did you get the piece of astro?
I looked for a bit online but couldn't really find a piece.

Check with any local sports centre that has astroturf, usually have a bit left over for repairs. Failing that there is plenty on fleabay.

Hi m8, i am lucky enough to have a garden which is spacious enough to fit a pop-up driving net, and when used with an astroturf mat, you can hit proper golf balls and get great practice. Also, you can chip into a bucket, or umbrella, etc. This is the net i have, really good: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produ...|cat_14419202|Golf+training+aids|14419221.htm
This really helps me practice when i cba to go down the range.

If you are looking for a decent driving mat I can recommend http://www.direct-golf.co.uk/golf_accessories/sklz/practice_aids_launch_pad_golf_mat/p9973.aspx
I have had a couple and you need to be wary of the weight as you will be forever rearranging the mat, the skiz is a good product with different lies and tee lengths.

Normally look after my lawn but it's a mess this year with me practicing all over it! Must buy a Matt.

I chip off wee bit of carpet and over the seat of the wee one's swing. Aiming between the ropes is a good test of a straight flight. Need to get a practice net to catch the balls on the other side...my bucket just doesnt cut it

My garden is 50 yards long so I'm quite comfortable hitting full 7 iron shots

I putt with my V-Easy on the living room carpet, my old flat broke left to right from the kitchen door to the TV. I would spend HOURS putting to a 2p or 5p coin from 4-10 feet. I would keep my head down and listen for the "ting" as the ball hits the coin, seeing how many "Tings" in a row I could get (record is 7 from ~8 feet and 15 from 4 feet IIRC).

I practice by chipping the ball over my daughters paddling pool and in to the wife's hanging basket. I also open the side door of my garage and hit full shot from my lawn through the door which is approx 20 yards away. I use a callaway orange foam ball which feels solid off the club and will go bout 100 yards if need be. I have also a 2 metre square piece of carpet stuck to a board I use as a practice mat even have lines drawn on it and rubber tees I can swap to hit different woods etc hit balls in to a sheet attached to washing line.

This has given me some decent ideas.
I'm a fifer who hates to part with cash so carpet and bucket is right up my street. Doubt I'll get the courage to tee up a big club in the garden.

I practice long putts along our landing.
It has an interesting borrow - we had a crap builder!

Either that or he was thinking ahead that you might want to be using the landing as a practice green :smirk:
