Thread Needle: Narrow Landing Zone

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.

Set up 10 piles of balls in two lines. Each line has 5 piles. The lines are 5 to 10 yards apart. Each pile in a line is 4 yards apart.

Put the piles 5 to 30 yards from the hole on any type of grass.

On the green, make 4 quadrants with string or tees. Each quadrant is about 6 feet wide.

Hit 36 chip shots. Hit 9 shots to each of the 4 quadrants.

Choose a pile and chip 9 balls, aiming for one quadrant.

After 9 shots, switch to the next quadrant. Do this for all 4 quadrants.

A chip that stops inside the right quadrant counts as a success.

After 36 shots, count how many balls stopped in the target quadrants and enter your score in the app out of 36 attempts.

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.

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.

Put 40 balls into 8 lines. Each line has 5 balls. Lines should be about 1 yard or meter apart. Put these lines anywhere on the grass 5 to 30 yards/meters from the hole but not on the green.

On the green, use sticks, clubs, or string to mark 3 landing zones in a straight line about 6 feet (2 meters) apart.

Divide the 36 chip shots into 3 sets of 12 shots.

For each set, pick 3 lines of balls and aim every shot at one landing zone.

Hit 5 chips from each line to the chosen zone. After 3 lines (15 shots), change zones until all 36 shots are done.

Count each shot that lands and stays in the target zone as a success.

Enter the total number of successful shots in the app, out of 36 attempts.
