Hopefully Lammo, although mimmbling along with the dog might not be quite the same as having a bag of clubs on my back!
I have a swing trainer club which I use most days and practice putting on the carpet.

Nick - Are you seeing benefits from the swing trainer? Do you have a way to measure clubhead speed?

I can't measure swing speed, but the added weight does ensure I get onto the front foot correctly. I sometimes try with my driver to make sure it happens with that. The bright, yellow ball on the end means I can see the swing path easier too. (Too many out to ins)!

Hopefully the work with the added weight converts to a somewhat faster baseline once you do get to hit a ball again.
I bought a launch monitor at pretty much the same time as golf got shut down again this winter, so I never go to use it yet... but it can tell me swing speed, so I've tried wafting the driver around in front of it in the garden a bit. What I think is my 'normal' golf swing is a pretty feeble 85-ish mph. If I really try to swing fast, I can get 105-ish (although I'd be fearing missing the ball altogether it's so out of control). And then you see Bryson et al giving it 130+ mph

Managed to get sneaky 15 holes in yesterday afternoon.
Some good shots, most rubbish. I managed 3 pars on the front nine though.
