Turn Tough Lies into Easy Pars

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.

Make two piles of 18 golf balls at the edge of the green: one pile for above the feet, one for below the feet.

Mark three landing zones on the green, each 4 feet wide and 5 feet apart in a straight line.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots: 18 from above feet, 18 from below feet.

For each lie (above and below feet), hit 6 shots to each landing zone (6 per zone × 3 zones = 18 shots per lie).

Keep the same ball setup and distance for all shots. Only change where you are aiming.

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

After 36 shots, record the number of successful shots out of 36 attempts in the app.

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.

Put the ball in the sloped rough, 5 to 30 yards from the hole, with the ball above your feet.

Place three targets evenly spaced left, center, and right of the hole, all about the same distance from your ball.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots: 18 with the ball above your feet and 18 with the ball below your feet.

For each lie, split the 18 shots into 3 groups of 6, one group for each target.

With the ball above your feet, hit 6 shots to the left target, 6 to center, and 6 to right, in any order.

Move the ball below your feet and repeat: 6 shots to left, 6 to center, 6 to right.

Count each shot that stops inside the target area as a success.

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

Place 18 balls on the uphill slope and 18 balls on the downhill slope between 5 and 30 yards from the hole.

Set up 3 targets on the green, spaced evenly in a 10-foot wide area, labeled Target A, Target B, and Target C.

Hit 18 shots from the uphill slope and 18 shots from the downhill slope, for a total of 36 shots.

For each slope, hit 6 shots at Target A, then 6 shots at Target B, then 6 shots at Target C.

Keep the ball setup the same and do not move from your spot on the slope while hitting each group of shots.

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

After all 36 shots, count and enter the number of successful shots in the app, out of 36 attempts.
