Turn Tough Lies into Easy Pars

Put 2 rows of 20 golf balls each on flat grass near the green, 5 yards apart.

Make sure both rows are between 5 and 30 yards from the hole, and keep all balls on the fairway, not on the green.

Split the 36 shots into 3 groups of

First 12 shots, try to land the ball within 5 feet left of the hole.

Next 12 shots, try to land the ball within 5 feet right of the hole.

Last 12 shots, aim to land the ball in a 5-foot circle around the hole.

Hit every third ball from each row: start with one row (balls 1, 4, 7, etc.), then switch to the other row, and keep going until all 36 shots are done.

Count each ball that stops in the right target area as a success for that group.

When all 36 tries are finished, add the successful shots and enter your score in the app, out of 36.

Set up two lines of 18 golf balls each on a sloped fairway near the green: one line on the uphill slope, one line on the downhill slope. Balls should be spaced 5 yards apart, between 5 and 30 yards from the hole.

Place 3 target zones on the green in a row, 6 feet apart. Call them Zone 1 (closest), Zone 2 (middle), and Zone 3 (farthest).

Hit 36 total bump-and-run shots: 18 from the uphill line, 18 from the downhill line.

From the uphill line, hit 6 shots to each zone (6 to Zone 1, 6 to Zone 2, 6 to Zone 3). Always hit every third ball, skipping two balls between shots.

For the downhill line, repeat the process: 6 shots to each zone, using every third ball.

Count a success each time a ball stops inside the intended target zone.

When all 36 shots are done, record how many balls landed in the correct zone, out of 36 attempts, in the app.

Put 36 balls into 9 groups of 4 balls each around the green, spaced 1–10 yards from the edge and 5–30 yards from the hole.

Use string, tees, or markers to make 9 stop zones on the green, spread out as different landing spots.

Hit 4 bump-and-run shots at each stop zone, for a total of 36 shots.

Start at any group, aim at the first stop zone, hit 4 shots, then move to the next zone; repeat until all zones have been used.

Count each ball that stops inside the target zone as a success.

Add up the number of successful shots out of 36 and enter the score in the app.

Set up 9 piles of 4 balls each, spread between 1 and 10 yards from the green and 5 to 30 yards from the hole.

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

Do 36 bump-and-run shots, 4 shots at each of the 9 stop zones.

From any pile, hit 4 shots to the first stop zone.

Do the same for the other stop zones, always 4 shots per zone, using the original ball setup.

Count shots that stop inside the right stop zone.

Add up how many shots were successful, and enter this number out of 36 attempts.

Arrange 40 balls into 10 piles of 4 balls each. Place the piles in two parallel lines, 5 to 10 yards apart, with each pile in a line about 2 yards apart.

On the green, mark two target zones: an inner circle with a 6-foot radius and an outer circle with a 15-foot radius.

Hit 36 shots: 18 to the inner circle, 18 to the outer circle.

Hit shots from any pile, switch between piles and lines.

Count a shot as a success if it stops in the target zone.

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