Open up and let it fly: alignment for flop shots

Put 36 balls in two crossing lines with 18 balls in each line. Balls are 1 foot apart.

Make 9 stop zones on the green using tees, strings, or markers. Keep them spaced out and easy to see.

Hit 4 flop shots to each stop zone. This makes 36 shots total (4 shots for each of the 9 zones).

From the first line of balls, hit 4 shots, one to each of the first 4 stop zones.

From the second line, hit 4 shots, one to each of the next 4 stop zones.

Use the rest of the balls to hit 4 shots to the 9th stop zone, then enter score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Count a shot a success only if the ball stops inside the right stop zone.

Add your total successful shots out of 36 and enter the score in the app.

Set up 10 piles of balls in two lines, making a cross. Each line has 5 piles. Piles are 3 yards or meters apart and are between 5 and 40 yards or meters from the hole on grass.

On the green, use sticks, clubs, or string to mark 3 landing zones in a straight line, spaced 3 feet or 1 meter apart.

There are 36 flop shots in total. Divide them into 3 groups of 12 shots, aiming each group at a different landing zone.

Pick any pile to start. Hit each shot, trying to land the ball in the right zone.

After 12 shots to the first zone, do 12 shots to the next zone, then finish with 12 shots to the last zone.

Count the number of balls that land and stop in the correct zone.

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

Set up two lines of 18 balls each. The lines should cross at a right angle. Each ball is 1 foot apart.

Put two targets on the green, 5 to 10 yards apart. The targets are set 5 to 20 yards away from the ball lines.

Hit 36 flop shots: 18 shots from the first line, 18 shots from the second line.

For each line, split the 18 shots into 3 groups of 6 balls.

For each set of 6 balls, aim at one target. Try to land the ball within 10 feet of the target.

Take turns aiming each set at a different target.

Count each ball that lands within 10 feet of the target as a success.

After all 36 shots, add up successes and enter score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Set up 3 target zones on the green at 5, 12, and 20 yards from where the balls will be hit. Mark each zone with cones.

Put two target zones on the green, 6 feet apart. Call them Zone A and Zone B.

Hit 3 shots at Zone A, then 3 shots at Zone B. Repeat until all shots are done.
