Looking to build a backyard practice area, driving net, chipping are and a putting green. Attached pic is not mine, but my inspiration to build something like this before the snow hits!

Anyone can recommend a list of drills to practice in the backyard?

I found bobby lopez's 2 o clock and stick drill. I like how those will sync up my swing but want a feel more drills for short game and putting area.

Why build it just before winter? Sounds like something you should plan for all winter and build in the spring.

Want a practice area for the winter, i hate driving to the range 40 minutes away. Work and Life gets in the way of practice.

I would love to be able to practice in my own backyard as soon as possible

Do swing drills in front of a mirror and set up a net to hit into to tide you over until ground thaw. And of course find a good instructor. You can also post a my swing thread (something I am going to do soon) and load some video of your swing here. There are a lot of very qualified people who can dissect swing and offer advice.

Start with your takeaway.

    • Day 33 (20 Feb 26) - played the Friday men’s group shootout.  Solid day of working from some tough shot results - made for a good number of up and downs for par (8 of the 9 pars were such). Cart mate and I discussed the visual aspect of the game - and how much it plays into the individual’s mindset during the round.  Love when the discussion is focused on learning and taking positives away and not just how bad the miss may be.  
    • Day 507 - 2026-02-20 Got some backswing work in on GEARS Hybrid.
    • Still kinda working on the backswing stuff. I can turn < 45°, but I tend to tilt toward the target a little. I can tilt away from the target, but I tend to turn a bit more. Case in point. I can do it, though: This I can do all day (it's more lateral than I want, but it's very linear): Here's what 38° of turn looks like. Almost freaking nothing.
    • Good progress. I am finally feeling like I am settling my weight into my right foot earlier in the backswing. Right hip sinks back, right leg feels staying flexed. Feeling very stable and firm in the right leg. I feel like I could do a good squat with that right leg. Very balanced. 
    • oops, forgot Pebble Beach and Spyglass.  And two more of the original Open rota, Prestwick and Musselburgh (with hickory shafted rentals).  And Muirfield.  And maybe a few more, I'll check my list when I get home.
