Turn Tough Lies into Easy Pars

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.

Place 18 balls in a row on the fairway. Place another 18 balls in a row 5 yards away from the first row.

Label one row “Above Feet” and the other row “Below Feet” according to the slope.

Divide each row into 3 zones by distance: Zone 1 (5–13 yards), Zone 2 (14–21 yards), Zone 3 (22–30 yards), with 6 balls in each zone.

Hit all 36 balls: start with all balls in Zone 1, then all balls in Zone 2, then all balls in Zone

Take turns hitting every third ball from one row, then switch to the other row and do the same.

Try to stop each ball as close as possible to the hole.

Count each ball that stops within 3 feet of the hole as a success.

When finished with all 36 shots, record the number of successful shots out of 36 in the app.

Make two piles of 18 golf balls each (36 balls total). Keep the balls in the same spot for every shot.

Put three markers on the green to make three target zones. Space them about 5 feet apart, in a straight line.

Hit 36 shots in total—12 shots to each target zone.

First, hit 12 shots at Zone 1, then 12 at Zone 2, then 12 at Zone

Switch between piles (above feet and below feet shots) for each group if possible, or finish one slope for all zones, then switch to the other.

Count every shot that stops inside the correct zone as a success.

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

Set up two lines of balls (18 balls in each line) next to the green on sloped rough. One line is above feet level and one is below feet level.

Set each line 5 yards apart. Balls should be between 5 and 30 yards from the hole.

Hit 18 bump-and-run shots from the above feet line and 18 from the below feet line (36 total shots).

For each line, hit every third ball (leave two balls between each shot). Finish all shots in one line, then switch to the other.

Try to land and stop the ball inside a 6-foot circle around the hole.

Count a success for every ball that stays inside the target circle.

Add up all your shots that stopped inside the target circle, then enter your total score out of 36 shots in the app.

Make two piles of 18 balls: one on an uphill slope, one on a downhill slope, both between 0 and 5 yards from the green.

Mark three target zones on the green’s edge at 3 feet, 6 feet, and 9 feet from where the ball should land.

Split the 36 shots into 3 groups of 12 shots: 12 at the closest zone, 12 at the middle zone, and 12 at the farthest zone.

From the uphill pile, hit 6 shots to the closest zone, then 6 shots to the middle zone.

From the downhill pile, hit 6 shots to the farthest zone, then 6 shots to the closest zone.

Repeat as needed until all 36 shots are done: 12 to each zone using both piles.

Count the shots that stop inside the correct zone.

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

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.

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

Place two markers on the green, 15 yards apart.

Split 36 shots into two groups of

Hit 18 bump-and-run shots from the first rough spot at the first marker, aiming to stop the ball near it.

Move to a different nearby rough spot.

Hit 18 shots at the second marker from the new spot.

Count each shot as a success if the ball stops within 3 feet of the marker.

Use the same setup and stance for all shots.
