Turn Tough Lies into Easy Pars

Put 36 balls into 6 piles of 6 balls. Place the piles on grass or slopes 1 to 10 yards from the green and 5 to 30 yards from the hole.

Mark two circles on the green: one small (6-foot radius), one big (15-foot radius).

Hit 36 shots in total. For the first 18 shots, aim for the small circle. For the next 18 shots, aim for the area between the small and big circle.

Start at any pile and hit 3 shots at a time toward the target, moving from pile to pile until you finish 18 shots.

Do the same for the bigger circle with the next 18 shots, 3 from each pile.

Count how many balls stay in the target circle for each set of 18 shots.

Add your total successful shots and enter the score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Pick two spots between 5 and 30 yards from the hole to hit from.

Place three markers 3 feet apart in a line on the green to make target zones.

Hit 18 shots from the first spot, 6 to each target zone.

Hit 18 shots from the second spot, 6 to each target zone.

Aim for the correct zone each time.

Count shots that stop inside the correct zone as a success.

Add up your successful shots and enter your score in the app out of 36 attempts.

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

Mark 3 targets on the green, about 6 feet apart in a line.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots.

Aim 12 shots at each of the 3 targets.

Hit 12 shots at the first target, then 12 at the second, then 12 at the third.

Count shots that stop inside 10 feet of the target as successful.

Add successful shots out of 36 and enter score in the app.

Set up two lines of 18 golf balls each on a sloped fairway near the green: one line on the uphill slope, one line on the downhill slope. Balls should be spaced 5 yards apart, between 5 and 30 yards from the hole.

Place 3 target zones on the green in a row, 6 feet apart. Call them Zone 1 (closest), Zone 2 (middle), and Zone 3 (farthest).

Hit 36 total bump-and-run shots: 18 from the uphill line, 18 from the downhill line.

From the uphill line, hit 6 shots to each zone (6 to Zone 1, 6 to Zone 2, 6 to Zone 3). Always hit every third ball, skipping two balls between shots.

For the downhill line, repeat the process: 6 shots to each zone, using every third ball.

Count a success each time a ball stops inside the intended target zone.

When all 36 shots are done, record how many balls landed in the correct zone, out of 36 attempts, in the app.
