Master the art of touch: no more long comeback putts

Place a bucket of balls next to the green with 2 straight lines of 20 balls arranged perpendicular to each other.

Space the lines 5 to 10 yards/meters apart, with each ball about 1 foot (30 cm) apart in each line.

Mark two circles on the green: an inner circle with a 6-foot (2 m) radius and an outer circle with a 15-foot (5 m) radius around the hole.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots in 2 sets of 18 shots, switching between the two lines.

Hit 3 to 5 shots from one line, then switch to the other line, until all 36 balls are played.

Try to land balls in the circles: inside the inner circle is best, inside the outer circle is okay.

Count how many balls stopped inside the outer circle (including the inner circle), and enter your score in the app out of 36 attempts.

Set up 10 piles of balls in two crossed lines. Each line has 5 piles, 3 yards/meters apart.

Put the piles 1 to 10 yards/meters from the green and 5 to 30 yards/meters from the hole, on the same type of grass.

Mark 3 target zones on or near the green, spaced far apart.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots: 12 for each target zone.

Pick any pile and hit 12 balls, trying to land and stop the ball in the first target zone.

Hit 12 shots at the second target zone, then 12 at the third.

Keep the same ball setup for every shot. Don’t change ball position or lie in the pile.

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

At the end, enter the number of balls that stopped in the target zones out of 36.

Put 40 balls into 8 lines with 5 balls in each line. Lines should be on grass, 1 to 10 yards/meters from the green and 5 to 30 yards/meters from the hole. Balls in each line should be about 1 yard/meter apart.

Make 3 landing zones on the edge of the green. Use sticks or string to mark each zone. Zones should be in a straight line and 6 feet (2 meters) apart.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots using the balls. Split these into 3 groups of 12 shots.

For the first 12 shots, aim at the first landing zone. Use any of the 8 lines, hitting all 5 balls in a line, then go to another line until 12 shots are done.

For the next 12 shots, aim at the second landing zone. Hit full lines of 5 balls until you have 12 shots.

For the last 12 shots, aim at the third landing zone. Hit full lines of 5 balls until 12 shots are done. Count each ball that lands and stays in the chosen landing zone as a success, and add up total successful shots out of 36 attempts in the app.

Set up 10 piles of balls with 4 balls in each pile.

Make 3 landing zones on the green, 6 feet apart in a straight line.

Hit 36 shots, with 12 shots at each landing zone.

Start from any pile and try to land 12 balls in the first landing zone.

After 12 shots, aim 12 shots at the second zone, then 12 at the third zone.

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

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

Prepare 36 balls and make 4 piles of 9 balls each.

Put each pile in a different spot, 1 to 10 yards from the green and 5 to 30 yards from the hole.

Mark 4 areas on the green using string or tees, each area should be about 6 feet across.

Hit 36 bump-n-run shots, trying to land 9 balls in each area.

Start from one pile, aim at one area, and hit all 9 balls. Move to the next pile and area.

Keep going until all 36 shots are done, 9 shots per area.

Count how many balls stopped in the target area each time.

After all 36 shots, enter how many successes out of 36 in the app.

Make 10 piles of 4 balls (40 balls) in two lines, crossing each other near the green, 1 to 10 yards from the green and 5 to 30 yards from the hole. Keep piles 2 yards apart, lines 5 to 10 yards apart.

On the green, use string or tees to mark two circles around the hole: one with a 6-foot radius (inner), the other with a 15-foot radius (outer).

Use only 36 balls (9 piles of 4) for this test.

Split the 36 shots into two groups of

For the first 18 shots, try to land the ball inside the small circle.

For the next 18 shots, try to land the ball inside the big circle but outside the small circle.

Play bump-and-run shots by hitting from different piles, one after the other, keeping the same setup and order.

Count as a success if the ball stops in the correct circle. If not, it is a miss.

Count how many balls finished where they should in both circles. Enter your score in the app, out of 36 attempts.
