I used to buy a tea at the station every day , then I bought a leak proof cup from amazon and make one for the journey at home and for the way home at work.Saves a fortuneToo many avocado lattes.
How much do you spend on practice?

Yeah yeah, but surely it's easier to just buy new clubs right
New clubs should always be the first port of call.

There is a long term solution: buy a simulator.
A guy I know at my club spent £20k building a sim room at home, but he told me if you buy a second hand GC quad you can do it for less than £10k. In the long run it works out cheaper than the range, gives you unlimited practice without having to leave the house, and you can use it to play games with family and friends in winter.

I made it up, sounds like something these millennials would drink now.I’ve never even heard of an avocado latte

Yeah, I suppose I could stick one on the driveway and we'll just park down the road.

This is my issue as well... ceilings aren't high enough! Would love to put a simple setup in the garage but just not enough room

Don't even have a garage. My wife wants to move in the next couple of years so I'll have to make sure I only agree to it if there's room for a golf studio in the new house.

I sometimes hit foam balls at the garden shed. They actually feel pretty good off the face.Don't even have a garage. My wife wants to move in the next couple of years so I'll have to make sure I only agree to it if there's room for a golf studio in the new house.

Both courses where I play have free driving ranges and practice facilities, so £0, although you do pay for it in the membership fees

Way back in the first lockdown I bought a net and foam balls to hit in the garden. Only did it twice and lasted about 10 minutes each time. Just felt boring and pointless when you couldn't see the result of the shots. I still have the balls somewhere, but they probably won't get used until the day my little girl decides she wants to try and hit one!

Plenty of things can be worked on without seeing the flight. I struggle with transition, so it's nice to be able to work on it in the garden.

I don't have the net anymore anyway, it went in a skip when we did a garden/shed clearance a while back.

If they're foam balls, just hit them against the house

There's a conservatory in the way.If they're foam balls, just hit them against the house

These are the best indoor / practice balls I've ever used.
They actually feel firm on the strike but won't break anything.
I've tried all the usual other offerings like foam, air flow etc.
You could hit them off the wall of your house.

There is no area of my house with enough space to swing a golf club mate.

Hit them at your conservatory.

Clearly you need to stop buying avocado and toast and cancel that Netflix subscription.I do enjoy it but it's also not really peanuts, it's a noteworthy expense. For context, I currently have less than £100 in my account and payday is over two weeks away.
