Precision Short Irons

Pick a flag or target to aim at with your 8 or 9 iron.

Place four cones or markers around the flag to create four equal areas. Put them about 5% of the distance to the flag in four directions.

Hit 36 shots total: 9 to each area.

Use your 8-iron or 9-iron as you want, but hit 9 shots to each area.

Switch between areas in any order. Try to land each ball in the correct area.

Count each ball that lands and stays in the right area as a success.

Add up your successful shots out of 36 and record your score in the app.

Set up 3 flags or targets at different short iron distances; each flag is a 'hole'.

Mark two zones around each flag: inner zone (within 4 yards/meters) and an outer zone (within 8 yards/meters).

Hit 36 shots total: 12 shots at each flag.

Use only 8 or 9 iron. Try to hit each shot as close as possible to the flag, first aiming for the inner zone, then for the outer zone.

For each shot: 1 point if the ball lands in the inner zone, 0.5 points if in the outer zone, 0 points if outside both zones.

After 12 shots at one flag, move to the next and repeat for all flags.

Pick one target on the driving range for short irons (9 or 8 iron).

Break the test into 4 groups of 9 shots (36 total shots).

In each group, hit alternating pairs of opposite shot types: fade/draw, high/low, pull/fade, push/draw.

Hit 5 pairs, but drop 1 shot from the last pair so each group is 9 shots.

Use only 9 or 8 irons with the same ball setup for every shot.

Try to make each shot land near the target and curve the right way.

Count as a success if the shot matches the shape and lands near the target.

Do all 4 groups for a total of 36 shots.
