Master the art of touch: no more long comeback putts

Set up 4 lines on the grass, each with 9 balls spaced 1 foot apart. Put the lines 5 yards apart, between 3 and 15 yards from the green.

Place 3 targets on the green in a straight line, 3 feet apart.

Divide the 36 shots into 3 groups of

Aim each group at a different target.

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

Try to stop each ball as close to the target as possible.

Count a shot as a success if it stops close to the target, for example within 2 feet.

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

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.

Set up 4 lines of 9 balls, each ball 1 foot apart. Lines are 5 yards apart. Place lines 1 to 10 yards from the green and 5 to 30 yards from the hole.

On the green, make 9 stop zones with buckets, string, or tees. Arrange the zones in a grid, 3 rows of

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots in total. Hit 4 balls to each stop zone.

Use string, tees, or markers to make 9 stop zones on the green, spread out as different landing spots.

Hit 4 bump-and-run shots at each stop zone, for a total of 36 shots.

Start at any group, aim at the first stop zone, hit 4 shots, then move to the next zone; repeat until all zones have been used.

Count each ball that stops inside the target zone as a success.

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.

Put 36 balls into 6 piles of 6 balls each around the chipping area, between 1 and 10 yards from the green, and 5 to 30 yards from the hole.

On the green, make two rings around the hole with string or tees: a small ring with a 6-foot radius and a bigger ring with a 15-foot radius.

Split your shots into two groups of

For the first 18 shots, try to land the ball inside the small ring (6-foot radius).

For the next 18 shots, try to land the ball inside the big ring but outside the small ring.

Hit one ball at a time from any pile. Do 18 shots for the first target, then do 18 shots for the second target.

Count every ball that stops inside the target ring as a success.

After all 36 shots, add up how many landed in the right rings and enter your score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Set up 9 piles of 4 balls each (36 balls total) near the green. Put the piles on different grass areas between 1 and 10 yards/meters from the green and 5 to 30 yards/meters from the hole.
