Save par with a clutch flop—pressure drill

Pick two random spots 5-20 yards from the hole and place two piles of balls. Make spots and surfaces random but similar.

Make two circles on the green with string or tees: one circle 6 feet from the hole, one circle 15 feet from the hole.

Hit 36 flop shots: 18 shots at the small circle, 18 shots at the big circle.

At the first pile, hit 9 balls at the small circle, then 9 at the big circle.

At the second pile, again hit 9 at the small circle, then 9 at the big circle.

Count balls that stop inside the small circle as birdie. Count balls in the big circle (but outside small) as par.

Add up all balls that stayed in both circles. Enter score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Place two ball markers on the green, about 10 feet apart.

Choose a spot on the uphill slope, 5 to 20 yards from the hole. Use this spot every time for the test.

Hit 18 flop shots from this spot. Aim at the targets, switching every 3 shots between them until all 18 shots are done.

Move to a spot on the downhill slope, 5 to 20 yards from the hole. Use this spot every time for these shots.

Hit 18 flop shots from the downhill spot. Switch targets every 3 shots until all 18 are done.

Count shots that stop within 3 feet of the marker as successful.

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

Place two piles of 18 balls on a sloped fairway: one pile above feet level, one pile below. Each pile should be 5-20 yards from the hole.

Mark three target zones on the green at different distances (Zone 1 at 5 feet, Zone 2 at 10 feet, Zone 3 at 15 feet).

Hit 18 shots from above and 18 shots from below feet, making 36 flop shots in total.

Split each 18-shot pile into 3 groups of 6 shots.

Aim each group of 6 shots at one zone. First 6 shots at Zone 1, next 6 at Zone 2, last 6 at Zone

Alternate shots between above feet and below feet piles as you go through zones.

Count each shot that stops in the correct zone as a success.

When done, add up successes. Enter score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Set up 10 piles of balls in two lines that cross each other, 5 piles in each line. The piles are 3 yards/meters apart. The two lines are 5 to 10 yards/meters apart.
