Master the art of touch: no more long comeback putts

Arrange 40 balls into 10 piles with 4 balls in each pile. Set the piles in two lines that cross each other near the green. The two lines should be 6 yards apart. Each pile in a line is 2 yards from the next pile.

Pick 3 target flags on the green. Space the targets 6 feet apart in a line or triangle so each one can be aimed at.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots, in 3 sets of 12 shots. For each set, aim all 12 shots at one of the target flags (Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3).

Start at any pile and try to hit the ball so it lands inside a 10-foot circle around the chosen target. Do this for 12 shots, then move to the next target and do it again, until all 36 shots are done.

Use different piles as you like for variety, but always set up the same way for each shot.

Count each shot that stops inside the 10-foot circle as a success.

After all shots, count total successes and 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.

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 a bucket with 40 balls by the green. Set up two lines of 18 balls each, 1 foot apart. The lines are 6 feet apart.

Pick 3 different targets on the green. Each target should be 6 feet apart from the others.

Hit 12 shots at Target 1 from the first line.

Hit 12 shots at Target 2 from the second line.

Hit 12 shots at Target 3 from the first line.

Use the same setup for all shots. Leave balls in place between 1 and 10 yards from the green, and 5 to 30 yards from the hole.

A shot is a success if it stops within 10 feet of the target.

Put 40 balls in 8 lines of 5 balls each around the green. Lines should be about 1 yard/meter apart and placed 1 to 10 yards/meters from the green and 5 to 30 yards/meters from the hole.

On the green, mark two circle zones around the hole: one with a 6-foot (2 meter) radius and another with a 15-foot (5 meter) radius.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots—first 18 shots aiming for the small inner circle, then 18 shots aiming for the bigger outer circle.

Use any line of balls. Hit shots for the inner circle for 18 attempts, then switch to hitting shots for the outer circle for another 18 attempts. Change lines as wanted.

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

After all 36 shots, add the number of successful shots out of 36 and enter your score in the app.

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.

Use sticks, clubs, or string to mark 3 landing zones (6 feet or 2 meters apart) in a straight line at the edge of the green.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots: 12 to each landing zone (Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3).

Hit from any pile and switch piles for variety. Hit 12 balls to Zone 1, then 12 to Zone 2, then 12 to Zone

Get 36 balls. Split them into 3 piles of 12 balls.

Make 3 zones on the green with sticks or string. Each zone is 6 feet apart in a line.

On the grass, put each pile of balls at random spots 1 to 10 yards from the green and 5 to 30 yards from the hole. Each pile matches a zone.

Hit 12 shots from the first pile, try to land in the first zone.

Hit 12 shots from the second pile, try to land in the second zone.

Hit 12 shots from the last pile, try to land in the third zone.

Count how many balls land and stop in each zone.

Set up 36 balls in 9 piles of 4 balls each, in lines 5 to 10 yards apart next to the green.

Mark 9 stop zones on the green with buckets, string, or tees, in a line or grid.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots, 4 shots to each stop zone.

Keep piles in place and take turns hitting from different piles to each stop zone in order.

Count a success each time the ball stops in the right zone.

When all 36 shots are done, add up successful shots and enter the score in the app out of 36 attempts.
