make a cheap "inside approach" training aid. Use a cardboard box (i use diaper boxes. perfect size about 2 feet long 1 to 1 1/2 feet high). Take it to the range and set it down. put your balls (golf balls that is ;) ) about 2-3 inches away from it on the ground at approx the center of the box. If you hit the box you came over the top.
