How to Practice Putting Indoors Without Ticking Off Your Family

Golfers know: putting is a make-or-break part of your game. But what do you do when the weather’s awful, the course is closed, or you’ve got the itch to practice right now? You bring your putting practice indoors—without making your family want to evict you.

Here’s how to sharpen your short game at home and stay in everyone’s good books.

1. Pick the Right Space (Translation: Stay Out of the Way)

First things first: location matters. Avoid high-traffic areas like the hallway or kitchen unless you want your putter mysteriously “go missing.”
Instead, choose:

• A spare room
• Basement
• Home office
• Bedroom (if you’re quiet)

Bonus tip: Lay down a rug or use a putting mat to prevent carpet dents (and reduce sound).

2. Use a Quiet, Compact Putting Target

This is where the CaddySack Putt-Puck shines.

It’s compact, portable, and won’t rattle or bounce like a metal cup. It’s made for smooth indoor putting without annoying anyone in the house. Plus, it’s shaped like a hockey puck—so your family might even ask to try it.

✅ Pro move: Toss it in your backpack or gym bag so you can putt anywhere—from the office to your hotel room.

3. Keep It Short and Sweet

Nobody wants to hear the thunk-thunk-thunk of golf balls for hours on end. Set a timer or commit to a 10–15 minute daily putting challenge. You'll stay consistent without driving the family nuts. 

4. Make It Fun for Everyone

Want to get bonus points with your household? Invite them to try it too. Set up a little mini putting contest after dinner. The Putt-Puck turns into a fun game even non-golfers can enjoy (especially when there’s chocolate or bragging rights on the line).

5. Don't Forget to Pick Up Your Balls

Last but not least: leave no trace. Golf balls under the couch, in the bathroom, or ricocheting off walls are a fast track to losing your indoor privileges. Grab a CaddySack golf ball holder to keep them stored, stylishly and discreetly. 

Practice Without the Nagging

Indoor putting doesn’t have to come at the cost of your family’s sanity. With a little planning, the right gear, and some respect for your shared space, you can keep your putting sharp and your household happy.
