Open up and let it fly: alignment for flop shots

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 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.

Arrange 40 balls into 10 piles of 4 balls each. Set the piles in 2 lines that cross each other, with 5 piles in each line, about 2 meters apart.

Place the piles on grass 5 to 20 meters from the hole, not on the green.

On the green, use string or markers to divide a 10-foot (3 meters) circle around the hole into 4 equal parts.

Hit 36 flop shots, 9 shots for each quadrant, trying to stop the ball inside each part.

Take turns hitting from different piles, aiming for the set part each time.

If the ball stops in the right part, count it as a success.

After all 36 shots, count the total successes and enter the number out of 36 in the app.

Put 18 balls in one bucket for shots above your feet, and 18 balls in another bucket for shots below your feet.

On the practice green, set up 3 target zones in a row, about 10 to 15 feet from the hole.

Split the 36 balls into 3 groups of 12 balls.

For the first 12 balls, hit from above feet and aim for Target Zone

For the next 12 balls, hit from below feet and aim for Target Zone

For the last 12 balls, switch between above and below feet every 2 balls and aim for Target Zone

Always keep the ball on the correct slope as needed, only change which target zone you aim at as above.

Count each ball that lands and stays in the correct target zone as a success.

When done, count how many successes out of 36 and enter the score in the app.

Make 3 target areas on the green: Left, Center, and Right. Each should be about 4 feet wide.

Put 3 piles of balls on a flat fairway, 15 to 20 yards from the hole. Space them so shots come from different angles.

Hit 36 flop shots: 12 at the Left zone, 12 at the Center zone, 12 at the Right zone.

Take shots from different piles, but set up the ball the same way each time.

Check if the ball stops inside the zone aimed for.

Count how many balls stop inside the correct zone.

When done, add up the number of balls in the zones and enter your score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Place 18 balls on a slope above the feet, and 18 balls on a slope below the feet, on opposite sides near the green.

Set one target on the green at a short distance between 10 and 20 yards.

Hit 36 flop shots: 18 from above the feet, 18 from below the feet.

Every 3 shots, change aim to left, center, or right of the target. Hit 6 shots at each aim for both slopes.

Try to land each ball close to the target.

Count a shot as successful if the ball lands within 3 feet of the target.

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