Master the art of touch: no more long comeback putts

Set up 10 piles of balls in two lines that cross each other. Put 5 piles in each line. Leave space between all piles and lines.

Put the piles 1 to 10 yards/meters from the green and 5 to 30 yards/meters from the hole.

On the green, mark two big circles around the hole. Make the first circle 6 feet (2 meters) out from the hole, and the second circle 15 feet (5 meters) out from the hole.

There are 36 shots total. Split them into 3 groups of 12 shots.

First 12 shots: try to stop the ball inside the small (inner) circle. Next 12: try to stop the ball inside the big (outer) circle but outside the small circle. Last 12: try to keep the ball anywhere on the green.

Hit one ball from each pile. Keep moving around the piles any way until all 36 shots are done using the right target for each group.

Count how many balls land in the right place for each group: inside the small circle for the first 12, in the big circle but outside the small one for the next 12, and anywhere on the green for the last

Enter score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Set up 4 lines of 3 balls each, for one player. Place balls 1 foot apart in each line. Place lines 5 yards apart. Total 36 balls.

On the green, use sticks or string to mark 3 landing zones in a row, each zone 6 feet apart.

Divide the 36 balls into 3 groups of

Aim 12 balls at Landing Zone 1, 12 at Zone 2, and 12 at Zone

Hit all 12 balls at Zone 1, then 12 at Zone 2, then 12 at Zone

Count each ball that stops inside the target zone as successful. After all 36 shots, count how many were successful, and record score out of 36.

Set up 10 piles of balls in two lines. The lines are 3 yards/meters apart. Each pile in a line is 4 yards/meters apart.

Place the piles on grass 1 to 10 yards/meters from the green and 5 to 30 yards/meters from the hole.

Make 9 stop zones on the green with buckets, string, or tees. Number the zones 1 to

Divide 36 tries into 9 groups of 4 shots. Each group tries for a different stop zone.

For each set of 4 shots, choose any pile and hit shots to the chosen stop zone.

After 4 shots at one zone, go to the next stop zone and do the same. Do this for all 9 zones.

Count every shot that stops in the right zone as a success.

Add up successes out of 36 tries and enter the score in the app.

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.
