Make 10 piles with 4 balls in each pile, for a total of 40 balls. Put these piles in two lines that cross each other, with 5 piles in each line.
Place the piles on grass, 5-30 yards from the hole. The lines should be 5-10 yards apart, and each pile should be 2 yards apart.
Around the hole, make two circle target zones using string or tees: a small Bullseye (6 feet from hole) and a bigger Bullseye (15 feet from hole).
Hit 36 chip shots, in 3 sets of 12 shots.
For each set, chip towards the Bullseye zones, switching piles each time.
Balls stopping in the small Bullseye count as higher score. Balls in the big Bullseye also count, but less. Both are counted as a successful chip.
When finished, count all balls in the small or big Bullseye out of 36 tries, and enter the total in the app.
