Up-and-down contest: how many can you save in a row?

Divide 36 balls into 9 piles with 4 balls each. Put each pile in the chipping area, not on the green, between 5 and 20 yards from the hole.

Mark 9 stop zones on the green using tees, string, or buckets, spaced across the green.

Hit 4 flop shots at each stop zone, trying to stop each ball in the zone.

Start at any pile and pick a stop zone. Hit 4 balls from the pile to that zone.

Move to the next pile and new stop zone. Keep going until all 9 zones have 4 shots each (36 shots total).

Count each ball that stops inside the right stop zone.

Enter the number of successful shots in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Make 4 piles of 9 balls: 2 piles uphill in deep rough, 2 piles downhill in deep rough, all 5 to 20 yards from the hole.

Mark 3 landing zones on the green in a line, each 6 feet apart: Zone A (closest), Zone B (middle), Zone C (farthest).

Hit 36 flop shots: 3 groups of 12 shots.

For first 12 shots, hit from uphill piles aiming for Zone A, switching between the two piles after each shot.

For next 12 shots, hit from uphill piles aiming for Zone B, switch piles after each shot.

For last 12 shots, hit from downhill piles aiming for Zone C, switch piles after each shot.

A shot counts if it lands and stops in the target zone.

Use same ball position every time. Only change aim for zone and slope.

Count how many landed in the target zone out of 36 and enter 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.

Place 40 balls into 10 piles of 4 balls each, with the piles in two lines of 5 piles. Lines are about 7 yards apart, and piles are about 2 yards apart within each line.

Mark 9 stop zones as a 3-by-3 grid using tees, string, or markers. Zones are about 3 feet apart.

Hit 36 balls in total, aiming to land 4 balls in each of the 9 stop zones.

Hit 4 balls at the first stop zone from any pile, then move to the next zone and hit 4 balls there. Repeat until all 9 zones are done.

Each time a ball stops in the correct zone, count a point.

After 36 shots, add up how many balls landed in the correct zones and enter your score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Put 40 balls into 8 piles of 5 balls, spaced between 5 and 40 yards from the hole on the grass or slope.

Place 3 flags as targets around the green at different distances, each with a 10-foot circle marked.

Hit 36 flop shots; make 3 groups of 12 shots for the 3 target zones.

First 12 shots go at the first target, next 12 at the second, last 12 at the third.

Hit 2-5 shots from each pile, switching piles each time, keep ball setup the same.

Count any shot that stops inside the 10-foot circle as a success.

After 36 shots, add up how many stopped in the circle and enter score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Make 8 piles of 5 balls each (40 balls total) between 5 and 40 yards from the green.

On the green, use markers to make 4 equal parts inside a 10 ft circle around the hole.

Hit 36 flop shots in total, split into 4 groups of 9 shots for each part of the circle.

Aim 9 shots for the first part, then 9 for the second, the third, and last the fourth part.

Change which pile to hit from each time to get different angles and lies.

Count only shots that stop in the right part as a success.

When finished, write how many you got out of 36 in the app.

Set up 3 target areas on the green, about 6 feet apart.

Make 6 piles of 6 balls each, on the grass 5 to 40 yards from the hole.

Hit the last 12 shots at Target 3, using any piles.

After each shot, see if your ball stopped very close to the target. Count that shot as a success if it did.

When finished, add up successful shots and enter your score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

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.
