I go to an indoor range about 2 or 3 times a week but that can start to add up, money wise. When I'm not at the range, I would like to learn a few indoor drills to keep my swing sharp.

I've been taking lessons for the past 3 months (with video analysis) and  my swing has improved dramatically. I'm extremely confident when addressing the ball and my results are improving constantly.

I took a couple of weeks off and when I came back to the range, it took me a few trips to get back into the groove and to get the muscle memory back of the new swing. Are there any indoor drills that I can do so that when I'm not going to the range or seeing my coach, I don't fall back into those bad habits or lose that muscle memory? Cheers.

I do the drills my instructor assigns with a foam ball, with mirrors and video. Something I've been doing lately is slow swings with the ball and just nudge the ball on contact - gives you a chance to check the mirrors (I have fo and dtl set up.)

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

foam ball is a great idea. I have one of those short weighted clubs (maybe 18" long) which is nice indoors.

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
