Dexon 3M Golf Net £44.99

When the course isn’t open or you don’t have time to get a round in, it’s not always possible or convenient to make it to a driving range. What you need then is the option to hit shots and keep the swing tuned up at home.

It may not be strong enough to take Bryson-style driver shots, but it’s durable enough to withstand iron play. The foam balls provided will allow you to hit harder shots into the net if you so wish.

It can be set up in your back garden or, if safe to do so and your ceilings are high enough, in the house if the weather is bad. The mat is durable and realistic to play from, although outdoors you may choose to play off turf for better feel and feedback. Setting up takes no more than ten minutes and it’s easy to disassemble and tidy away. It’s a solid product that allows you to practise in spare moments or through winter.
