Thread Needle: Narrow Landing Zone

Set up 36 balls in 2 lines of 18 balls each, 5 to 10 yards apart, on grass 5 to 20 yards from the hole.

Mark 9 stop zones in a 3 x 3 grid on the green, spaced apart so the zones are clear.

Chip 4 balls to each stop zone, alternating between the two lines. For each zone, hit 2 balls from one line, then 2 from the other.

Keep doing this until you have hit 4 balls for each zone, for a total of 36 shots.

Count a shot as a success only if the ball stops in the right zone.

Add up the number of successes out of 36 attempts and enter the score in the app.

Arrange 36 balls in 2 lines of 18 each to form an L shape.

Keep each ball 1 foot apart in each line. Keep 5-10 yards between the two lines.

Place two circles around the hole on the green: one with a 6-foot radius, and one with a 15-foot radius.

From 5–30 yards away, chip 18 balls from the first line, aiming for the circles.

Chip the other 18 balls from the second line, aiming for the circles.

Alternate hitting 3 to 5 shots between the two lines.

Shots inside the small circle = full success. Shots inside the big circle only = partial success.

Count how many balls stopped in each circle and get your score. Enter your total successful shots out of 36 attempts.

Put 40 balls into 10 piles with 4 balls in each pile. Arrange in two lines, 5 piles per line.

Space piles 2 yards or meters apart side to side. Space the two lines 5 to 10 yards or meters apart front to back.

Mark 4 sections (quadrants) in a circle of 6 feet or 2 meters radius around the hole on the green using string or tees.

Hit 36 chip shots total, 9 shots into each quadrant.

Start at any pile and chip balls to land in the first quadrant. After 9 shots, switch to the next quadrant.

Switch piles after each shot for variety, but always keep the same chipping setup and distance.

Count each ball that stops inside the correct quadrant as a success.

After all 36 shots, enter number of successful shots made out of 36 attempts.

Make 9 stop zones on the green. Mark them with tees, string, or buckets. Line up or put them in a grid.

Put 36 balls in 4 rows. Each row has 9 balls, spaced 1 foot apart. Put the rows about 5 yards apart on the grass, between 5 and 20 yards from the green.

Plan to hit 4 balls at each of the 9 stop zones. That is 36 shots.

Start at any row of balls. Hit balls, trying to stop each one in the first stop zone.

After 4 tries at the first zone, go to the next zone and do the same. Keep going until you try all 9 zones.

Count a shot as a success if the ball stops completely inside the target zone.

When all shots are done, count the number of successful shots and enter the score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Arrange 10 piles of balls in two lines that cross each other. Each line has 5 piles. Each pile has the same number of balls.

Put the piles 5 to 30 yards from the hole. Leave 3 yards between piles in a line. Make lines 5 to 10 yards apart.

Set up 3 targets around the green. Each target is about 6 feet apart from the others.

There are 36 chip shots total, with 12 shots for each target.

Always use the same stance and ball position for every shot.

For each set of 12 shots, chip to the target from any pile. Try to get close to the target.

A shot is a success if the ball stops within 3 feet of the target.

After all 36 shots, add up how many balls stopped within 3 feet of the target and enter the score out of 36 attempts in the app.

Make 10 piles of balls, in 2 lines with 5 piles in each line. Space the lines 5 to 10 yards or meters apart, and piles in each line about 4 yards or meters apart.

Place piles between 5 and 30 yards or meters from the hole, but not on the green.

On the green, mark 9 stop zones using buckets, string, or tees. Put them in a clear 3 by 3 layout.

Hit 36 chip shots, in 9 groups of 4 shots each.

For each group of 4 shots, pick one stop zone to aim at and chip 4 balls towards it from any pile.

Repeat until 4 shots have been aimed at each of the 9 stop zones, making 36 shots in all.

Count only shots that stop inside their chosen stop zone.

Enter the number of successful shots out of 36 in the app.

Make 10 piles of 4 balls each from 40 balls. Arrange the piles in 2 lines with 5 piles in each line. Lines cross each other.

Put the piles on grass 5 to 30 yards/meters from the hole. Space lines 5 to 10 yards/meters apart and piles 2 yards/meters apart.

On the green, put 3 targets in a line, about 8 feet apart. Call them Target A, Target B, and Target C.

Hit 36 chip shots, 12 to each target.

Hit 12 shots at Target A, then 12 at Target B, then 12 at Target C. Use any pile for any shot.

Count a shot as a success if it stops within 10 feet of the target.

After all 36 shots, add how many were successful and enter the score in the app, out of 36 attempts.
