You can not always head outdoors to work on your game. The weather does not always cooperate for perfect golfing conditions. Infrequently it is the rain other times it's just too cold. If you live in a less warm climate you might go several weeks without having the ability to make a run out to a golf course. What do you do to keep your short game intact? You practice chipping inside of course. There are a few things that you're going to need if you are going to practice inside.

Room

The first is plenty of space. You need at least 10 feet of open area. The ceilings don't need to be that high since you will not be taking the club back very far.

Mat

The second thing you must have is a mat to chip off. You don't want to wear down your carpet so buy a mat that has extremely short fiber so it simulates the closely mown grass found on the fringe.

Balls

I wouldn't counsel chipping with real balls as you might put a hole in the house. Instead opt for softer practice balls or wiffle balls that you can find at just about any golf shop.

Target

You are going to require something to target. You clearly are not going to want to put a hole in your floor so if you'd like to simulate a cup then employ a red solo cup or any other plastic cup. This means that the target will be a couple of inches off the ground, but use your mind because at least it's the correct size.

What I prefer to use as a target is a handerchief or napkin. Then, instead of attempting to get the ball to stop rolling on the target, I attempt to land the ball on the target. This helps me take my practice out to the course. The greens you play on aren't going to be like your carpet when it comes to roll, but the distance your swing causes the ball to go in the air won't be different.
