    Indoor Short Game Practice Area?

    With winter closer than we want my thoughts are turning to winter practice. I've really hit the wall in my scoring with my short game. I simply cannot get into the mid/low 70s because of my inability to get U&D from 20 yards and in. Where (if any) is the best indoor setup for short game practice, particularly chipping from 10-20 yards?

    Either SuperDome at Bearbrook or new Ben Franklin Park (Huntclub & Greenbank) has 75 - 80 yards, with pins set up at various distances for chipping. Only problem is the golf hours are 8 am - 4 pm (Mon.-Fri).

    Kevin Haimes hours are much better, but only 30 - 40 yards (100 ft) of ball flight.
    This would work for your 10-20 yards !!
    Hours much more convenient if not retired.

    I actually hit the dome in Bearbrook once a week in the off season to work on long irons and <50yd pitches. However they are not my problem on the course (usually). I was hoping there was something more like chipping around a green, but I figured I am out of luck.
