How a Golf Practice Net Can Improve Your Game

Who doesn’t want to take their golf game to the “next level”? You will hear things about being a natural at golf, which is nice if you can claim to be one of those lucky people that seem to be naturals. But, for the rest of us, getting good at gold involves practice, practice, practice, just like everything else.

That’s where training aids come in. One of the essential training aids I like to use is a golf practice net. Of course, having a practice cage will allow you to practice your swing wherever you like. Being able to use a net indoors and out is definitely useful. Not only can you use it indoors in the winter or other times when the weather isn’t so great, you can practice without worrying about anyone watching. When you take the competitive edge off then you can just focus solely on whatever it is you want to perfect.

These are some of the ways using a net can help you with your golf game. You can practice your swing and not fear hitting your ball with as much strength as you like since you don’t have to worry about the ball getting away. So, you can decide how much power is needed to reach your mark and also determine the right direction.

Say you want to buy a net, but want to know if all golf nets are created equal? Check out these guidelines before you purchase one.

Indoor Putting Greens Can Lower Your Handicap

Everyone wants to lower their golf score and have a lower handicap. We all know how to accomplish this; you need to work on your short game. It’s a fact that 40% of all shots on the golf course are made with your putter. By reducing the number of putts per round you will dramatically lower your score. How often have you added unnecessary strokes to your round by missing putts 4′ and under? Truth is we all do it; most putts are missed from this range. An indoor putting green is the perfect tool to cut strokes from your game. The surface has to be non-directional to simulate a real green. There are a few different styles to choose from.

The portable type: These measure about 18″ x 72″, can be rolled up and transported very easy, from room to room, outside to a deck and just about anywhere. This style makes a great addition to a game room and can be purchased with your favorite NFL or NCAA team logo on it.

The stationary type: These can be purchased in different sizes, whatever fits your needs. Some of these greens you can chip to from an additional chipping mat. With this style you need a lot more area to set them up and get the added benefit of chipping as well as working on your putting.
