In 2 weeks I can resume playing golf after 6 wks recovering from a Bi lateral hernia operation. I had a good season last year coming down from 13.2 to 8.9 and down want to continue to come down.. I want to have a few lessons soon but short game only but I can only do this after work in a golf studio . What would you ask a Pro for me to work on ? I can only see wedge play until I can get outside on the course . Any other ideas ? Ps the pro I go to doesn’t have indoor putting facilities
 
I would want to work on things I want to improve - and only you know the answer to that.
I think this is the only true correct answer and you got it nailed in post #2.

Short game is so personal and imo is the only thing that can’t truly be practiced correctly indoors with the exception of putting.

I believe you need to see how the ball reacts on landing to judge spin, roll out and flight of how you’re going to play a certain shot. You can’t truly simulate the lies you’ll get around greens, in bunkers or pitch shots from fairways or rough in an indoor studio no matter what they claim.

My honest opinion would be any short game work and lesson worth paying for need to be on a proper short game area. So if it’s has to be indoors then really I’d only be looking at a putting lesson on a well put together indoor green.
 
I would suggest you try and perfect the 50 yrd pitch shot
Thanks everyone for your replies.
Bob as a ex professional do you think it’s feasible to wedge lesson indoors? I don’t really want to wait until the light nights I will be too busy playing golf 😂
 
Wedge play is mainly about controlling your distance consistently.
50yds is a good starting point so you'd need either a gym or a simulator to monitor your distances
