Subject: Practicing in a dome

My sports club every December turns one of their tennis domes into a golf practice facility. The club is just around the corner from my house and I'm planning to go often. I just got my full new set of clubs and irons from i iron golf and hardly had a chance to use them before the courses closed for the winter. I want to work on my swing with these clubs and start playing in the spring as a much improved player.
My question is this: Hitting the ball into the side of a tennis bubble, maybe 50 feet at the most, does not give you much feedback as to fades, pushes etc. It could feel like solid contact, but in reality I might be pushing every shot. By hitting hundreds of balls I am worried I may be ingraining poor mechanics into my brain. Am I right to be concerned?

Peter,

Although you cannot accurately determine ball flight when hitting in a dome you can certainly groove a powerful and controlled swing. You will be able to develop and fine tune the swing that produces crisp ball striking, and that is 90% of golf improvement. Next spring you can take your grooved swing to the range and simply make any slight adjustments required.
