Turn Tough Lies into Easy Pars

Make two piles of 18 golf balls each (36 balls total). Keep the balls in the same spot for every shot.

Put three markers on the green to make three target zones. Space them about 5 feet apart, in a straight line.

Hit 36 shots in total—12 shots to each target zone.

First, hit 12 shots at Zone 1, then 12 at Zone 2, then 12 at Zone

Switch between piles (above feet and below feet shots) for each group if possible, or finish one slope for all zones, then switch to the other.

Count every shot that stops inside the correct zone as a success.

After all shots, enter total successful shots in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Place two straight lines of 18 golf balls each on flat ground near the green.

Space the lines 5 yards apart and put them 5 to 30 yards from the hole.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots.

In the first line, hit every third ball, skipping the two in between.

At the end of the first line, switch to the second line and do the same. Alternate lines until all 36 shots are hit.

Place three target zones on the green in a line.

For the first 12 shots, aim for the closest target zone.

For the next 12 shots, aim for the middle zone.

For the last 12 shots, aim for the farthest zone.

Count each shot that lands and stops in the correct zone as a success.

After 36 shots, total your number of successful shots out of 36 and enter your score in the app.

Put 40 balls into 8 piles of 5 balls each. Place the piles between 1 and 10 yards from the green and 5 to 30 yards from the hole.

On the green, use string or tees to make 4 equal sections inside a circle with a 6-foot radius around the hole.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots, split into 4 groups of 9 shots. Each group tries to stop the ball in a different section.

Choose any pile and hit 9 shots at the first section. Then do 9 shots for the next section, and repeat for all 4 sections.

For each set of 9 shots, use any pile, but keep the same setup for all shots.

Count each shot that stops in the correct section as a success.

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

Make 10 piles of 4 balls (40 balls) in two lines, crossing each other near the green, 1 to 10 yards from the green and 5 to 30 yards from the hole. Keep piles 2 yards apart, lines 5 to 10 yards apart.

On the green, use string or tees to mark two circles around the hole: one with a 6-foot radius (inner), the other with a 15-foot radius (outer).

Use only 36 balls (9 piles of 4) for this test.

Split the 36 shots into two groups of

For the first 18 shots, try to land the ball inside the small circle.

For the next 18 shots, try to land the ball inside the big circle but outside the small circle.

Play bump-and-run shots by hitting from different piles, one after the other, keeping the same setup and order.

Count as a success if the ball stops in the correct circle. If not, it is a miss.

Count how many balls finished where they should in both circles. Enter your score in the app, out of 36 attempts.
