Open up and let it fly: alignment for flop shots

Place 36 balls in two groups of 18 balls each for uphill and downhill shots.

Set up three targets on the green: right, center, and left of the hole, each 6 feet apart.

Hit 12 flop shots from uphill slope at the right target.

Hit 6 shots from uphill at the center target, then 6 at the left target (total 18 uphill shots).

From downhill slope, hit 12 shots at the right target, 6 at center, 6 at left (total 18 downhill shots).

Count shots that stop within 3 feet of the target as success.

Write down your number of successful shots out of 36 attempts in the app.

Prepare two sets of 18 balls: one set for above-feet shots, one set for below-feet shots.

Mark three target zones on the green: left, center, and right.

Divide 36 shots into three groups of 12: each group has 6 above-feet and 6 below-feet shots. Each group aims 2 shots at each zone.

From deep rough and sloped lies, hit two flop shots at each target zone: first above-feet, then below-feet, for all zones.

Keep the ball setup the same for all shots. Only change the target zone.

Count a ball as a success if it lands and stops in the intended zone.

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

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.

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.

Find a flat spot in the rough, 5 to 20 yards from the hole.

Set up three targets on the green, spaced apart for three landing zones.

Hit 36 flop shots; 12 shots at each target.

Keep ball position the same for all shots, only aim at the next target after 12 shots.

Try to land the ball softly in the target zone.

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

After 36 shots (12 per target), add up your total successful shots and enter your score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

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.
