Up-and-down contest: how many can you save in a row?

Divide 36 balls into 9 piles with 4 balls each. Put each pile in the chipping area, not on the green, between 5 and 20 yards from the hole.

Mark 9 stop zones on the green using tees, string, or buckets, spaced across the green.

Hit 4 flop shots at each stop zone, trying to stop each ball in the zone.

Start at any pile and pick a stop zone. Hit 4 balls from the pile to that zone.

On the green, use string or tees to make two circles around the hole: one small circle with a 6-foot (2-meter) radius and one big circle with a 15-foot (5-meter) radius.

Hit flop shots from each pile. Try to land the ball in the circles. Balls in the small circle are best, in the big circle are medium, and outside both circles are misses.

Hit 36 total flop shots. This means 3 sets of 12 shots.

For the first 12 shots, aim for the small circle. For the next 12, aim for the area between the two circles. For the last 12, aim anywhere inside the big circle.
