There are some obvious places you find a hitting area and some not so obvious ones. Post them here! 

This looks like a restaurant:

When you get bitten by the bug and want to practice, you find a way. How do you not admire the passion?

Not so much a net, probably rubber balls.

nothing new here, just a few extra touches after piecing remnants from storm damage to 10x10x10 cage. I should also note, that I removed a section of the cross piece in front as if you hit it, it

I have a mat in my office. We rent and the carpet is ghetto x100, old commercial carpet that was ready to be replaced when we moved in 14 years ago. It looks like hell but it's carpet over concrete with many defects and it's better than just about any artificial green I've used. So between that and the mat, I hit floppy balls against the partition, I have a pretty good practice space. I use the office to get my steps in too, I've paced 5 miles in here when it's too snowy to be outside.

I didn't see any set up in a garage.   In my neck of the woods that's not uncommon.

This is a few years old so may have been discussed back then but given the thread topic, seems fitting to mention it:

Some guy documented his effort to build an in-home golf simulator:  https://mediocre.com/forum/topics/home-golf-simulator-buildout

I do this too. Once in a condo, the room was huge, like 25 foot ceilings and wasn't using a net, so ball hunting a lot, the security guy saw me on camera, thought I was using a real ball, showed him it was a foam job, let me play on, then the workout folks started filing in, game over. Need to buy one of those.

I thought this was a basement, but is an indoor range.

This is definitely not an indoor range, biggest mat, evah.

      Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
