Turn Tough Lies into Easy Pars

Set up two lines of balls next to the green on a slope. Each line has 18 balls, 5 yards apart, between 5 and 30 yards from the hole.

One line has balls above foot level, the other line has balls below foot level.

There are two groups: 18 shots from balls above feet, and 18 shots from balls below feet.

For each group, hit every third ball in the line until you hit all

Aim each shot to land and stop in a target zone on the green, 5 to 10 yards from the hole.

First, hit all 18 balls from above feet, then all 18 from below feet.

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

Add all successful shots out of 36 and enter your 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.

Put two rows of 18 balls each on grass near the green. Keep the rows 5 yards apart.

Put both rows about 10 yards from the hole.

Make three target zones on the green: Left, Center, and Right. Each is about 4 feet wide.

There will be 36 bump-and-run shots: 12 for each zone.

From the first row, hit every third ball to the Left zone (12 shots).

From the second row, hit every third ball to the Center zone (12 shots).

Go back to the first row. Hit every third ball to the Right zone (12 shots).

Count the shots that stop inside the target zone.

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

Set up two lines of 18 golf balls each on a sloped fairway near the green: one line on the uphill slope, one line on the downhill slope. Balls should be spaced 5 yards apart, between 5 and 30 yards from the hole.

Place 3 target zones on the green in a row, 6 feet apart. Call them Zone 1 (closest), Zone 2 (middle), and Zone 3 (farthest).

Hit 36 total bump-and-run shots: 18 from the uphill line, 18 from the downhill line.

From the uphill line, hit 6 shots to each zone (6 to Zone 1, 6 to Zone 2, 6 to Zone 3). Always hit every third ball, skipping two balls between shots.

For the downhill line, repeat the process: 6 shots to each zone, using every third ball.

Count a success each time a ball stops inside the intended target zone.

When all 36 shots are done, record how many balls landed in the correct zone, out of 36 attempts, in the app.

Place a bucket of balls next to the green with 2 straight lines of 20 balls arranged perpendicular to each other.

Space the lines 5 to 10 yards/meters apart, with each ball about 1 foot (30 cm) apart in each line.

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

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots in 2 sets of 18 shots, switching between the two lines.

Hit 3 to 5 shots from one line, then switch to the other line, until all 36 balls are played.

Try to land balls in the circles: inside the inner circle is best, inside the outer circle is okay.

Count how many balls stopped inside the outer circle (including the inner circle), and enter your score in the app out of 36 attempts.

Set up 4 lines of 9 balls each, with balls 1 foot apart.

Place the lines on grass, 1 to 10 yards from the green, 5 yards between lines.

Mark two circles on the green around the hole: one with a 6-foot radius, another with a 15-foot radius.

Hit 36 shots, in two groups of 18 shots.

For the first 18 shots, aim for the small circle. For the next 18 shots, aim for the big circle.

Hit balls in order from any line, switch lines as wanted.

Count each ball that stops in the right circle as a success.

After 36 shots, count how many hit their target circles and enter your score in the app out of 36 attempts.
