Open up and let it fly: alignment for flop shots

Pick a spot 5 to 20 yards from the hole near the green to practice flop shots.

Place 36 balls in two lines so they cross in the middle. Each line has 18 balls, 1 foot apart.

Use string or tees to mark 4 equal zones inside a 10-foot circle around the hole.

Split the 36 balls into 4 groups of 9 balls. Each group aims for a different zone.

From the first line, hit 9 balls to the first zone.

From the second line, hit 9 balls to the second zone.

Go back to the first line and hit 9 balls to the third zone.

From the second line, hit 9 balls to the fourth zone. Count the number of balls that land in the right zone each time. After all shots, enter your total number of successes out of 36 in the app.

Put 36 balls in two crossing lines with 18 balls in each line. Balls are 1 foot apart.

Make 9 stop zones on the green using tees, strings, or markers. Keep them spaced out and easy to see.

Hit 4 flop shots to each stop zone. This makes 36 shots total (4 shots for each of the 9 zones).

From the first line of balls, hit 4 shots, one to each of the first 4 stop zones.

From the second line, hit 4 shots, one to each of the next 4 stop zones.

Use the rest of the balls to hit 4 shots to the 9th stop zone, then enter score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Count a shot a success only if the ball stops inside the right stop zone.

Add your total successful shots out of 36 and enter the score in the app.

Set up 10 piles of balls in two lines, making a cross. Each line has 5 piles. Piles are 3 yards or meters apart and are between 5 and 40 yards or meters from the hole on grass.

On the green, use sticks, clubs, or string to mark 3 landing zones in a straight line, spaced 3 feet or 1 meter apart.

There are 36 flop shots in total. Divide them into 3 groups of 12 shots, aiming each group at a different landing zone.

Pick any pile to start. Hit each shot, trying to land the ball in the right zone.

After 12 shots to the first zone, do 12 shots to the next zone, then finish with 12 shots to the last zone.

Count the number of balls that land and stop in the correct zone.

After all 36 shots, enter the number of successful shots in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Split 36 balls into two groups of

Make two target zones on the green, each about 5 feet wide: Zone A (left), Zone B (right).

For the first 18 balls, hit from uphill rough and try to land in Zone A.

For the next 18 balls, hit from downhill rough and try to land in Zone B.

All shots should be from the same spot in deep rough, 10 to 15 yards from the green.

Count balls that land and stay in the correct zone.

After 36 shots, enter the number of successes (out of 36) in the app.

Arrange 36 balls into 9 piles of 4 balls each, making 2 lines that cross each other. Keep piles about 2 yards apart, and lines about 5 to 10 yards apart.

On the green, make two circles: a small one (2-meter radius) and a big one (5-meter radius) around the hole.

Hit all 36 flop shots and try to land each ball inside the circles.

Hit 18 shots aiming for the small circle and 18 shots aiming for the big circle.

Change where shots come from by using different piles, hitting 2 to 4 shots from each pile that land inside a circle.

Count balls inside either circle as successes.

Add up all successful shots and enter the total out of 36 in the app.

Place 40 balls into 10 piles of 4 balls each. Arrange them in two lines of 5 piles each, lines must cross each other.

Make sure the lines are 7 yards apart. In a line, make sure each pile is 2 yards apart.

Set up 3 flags in a row, 10 feet apart. Each flag is a target for hitting the balls.

Hit 36 balls in total. Hit 12 balls at each target.

Hit the balls by switching between piles in the two lines.

If a ball lands within 10 feet of the target, count it as a success.

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

Make 2 target areas on the green: one uphill, one downhill, about 6 feet apart.

Use markers to show the edges of each target area.

Choose a spot 20 yards from the hole and set up golf balls for uphill shots.

Hit 18 flop shots, trying to land each one in the uphill area. Try to keep each ball inside the zone.

Move to the downhill area, same distance from the hole.

Hit 18 flop shots, trying to land each one in the downhill area.

Keep all shots from the same spot on each slope. Do not move the ball for each shot.

Count shots that stop inside the right target area.

Add up the total number of successful shots and enter your score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Arrange 10 piles of balls in two lines that cross each other. Each line has 5 piles, placed 3 yards apart. The lines are 6 yards apart.

Put all piles between 5 and 40 yards from the hole. Keep all piles on the same type of grass.

On the green, mark 4 equal quadrants. Each quadrant is a circle with a 3-meter radius around the hole.

Hit 36 flop shots: 9 shots to each quadrant.

Start at one pile. Hit 9 shots at Quadrant 1, move to another pile and hit 9 shots at Quadrant 2, then 9 shots at Quadrant 3, then 9 shots at Quadrant

A shot that stops inside the target quadrant counts as a success.

Count all successes for each quadrant and add them up.

After all 36 shots, write down your total number of successful shots in the app, out of 36.
