Pitch | Perpendicular Piles | Bullseye 2x

Short Game

Align a bucket of balls (avg. bucket is 40 balls) into 10 equal perpendicular piles of 4 balls and stop pitch shots inside the Bullseye. Count the number of balls in the inner and outer Bullseye.

26 minFocus: Short Game

Diagram for Pitch | Perpendicular Piles | Bullseye 2x

Place two string circles on the green: an inner Bullseye circle with a 6-foot (2-meter) radius and an outer Bullseye circle with a 15-foot (5-meter) radius around the hole.

Set up 10 piles of 4 balls each (total 40 balls) at 30 to 60 yards from the hole in two lines. Each line has 5 piles spaced about 5 to 10 yards apart. Piles in each line are 2 yards apart.

Hit a total of 36 pitch shots, divided into two groups of 18 shots each, alternating between the two lines of piles.

From each pile, hit 2 pitch shots trying to land the ball inside the inner or outer Bullseye on the green.

Each ball that stops inside the inner Bullseye counts as a birdie. Each ball inside the outer Bullseye but outside the inner circle counts as a par. Balls outside the outer circle are misses.

Keep hitting until you finish 36 shots, switching piles for variety. Enter your score in the app out of 36 attempts.
