Open up and let it fly: alignment for flop shots

Place 36 golf balls into 6 piles of 6 balls each around the practice green.

Set up 2 target zones on the green about 6 feet apart: Zone A (closer to the edge) and Zone B (closer to the hole).

Hit 36 flop shots: 18 shots for Zone A and 18 for Zone B.

First, from piles above your feet, hit 3 shots per pile to Zone A, then 3 shots per pile to Zone B, switching piles as needed.

Next, repeat the same sequence from piles below your feet: 9 shots to Zone A and 9 shots to Zone B.

Count shots that land and stop inside the correct zone as a success.

Add your total successes. Enter 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.

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.

Make 2 target areas on the green: one uphill, one downhill, about 6 feet apart.

Use markers to show the edges of each target area.

Choose a spot 20 yards from the hole and set up golf balls for uphill shots.

Hit 18 flop shots, trying to land each one in the uphill area. Try to keep each ball inside the zone.

Move to the downhill area, same distance from the hole.

Hit 18 flop shots, trying to land each one in the downhill area.

Keep all shots from the same spot on each slope. Do not move the ball for each shot.

Count shots that stop inside the right target area.

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