Master the art of touch: no more long comeback putts

Set up 10 piles of balls in two lines that cross each other. Put 5 piles in each line. Leave space between all piles and lines.

Put the piles 1 to 10 yards/meters from the green and 5 to 30 yards/meters from the hole.

On the green, mark two big circles around the hole. Make the first circle 6 feet (2 meters) out from the hole, and the second circle 15 feet (5 meters) out from the hole.

There are 36 shots total. Split them into 3 groups of 12 shots.

First 12 shots: try to stop the ball inside the small (inner) circle. Next 12: try to stop the ball inside the big (outer) circle but outside the small circle. Last 12: try to keep the ball anywhere on the green.

Hit one ball from each pile. Keep moving around the piles any way until all 36 shots are done using the right target for each group.

Count how many balls land in the right place for each group: inside the small circle for the first 12, in the big circle but outside the small one for the next 12, and anywhere on the green for the last

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.

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.

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.

Put 40 balls in 8 lines of 5 balls each around the green. Lines should be about 1 yard/meter apart and placed 1 to 10 yards/meters from the green and 5 to 30 yards/meters from the hole.

On the green, mark two circle zones around the hole: one with a 6-foot (2 meter) radius and another with a 15-foot (5 meter) radius.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots—first 18 shots aiming for the small inner circle, then 18 shots aiming for the bigger outer circle.

Use any line of balls. Hit shots for the inner circle for 18 attempts, then switch to hitting shots for the outer circle for another 18 attempts. Change lines as wanted.

Count each ball that stops in the circle aimed for as a success.

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.

Set up 4 lines on the grass, each with 9 balls spaced 1 foot apart. Put the lines 5 yards apart, between 3 and 15 yards from the green.

Place 3 targets on the green in a straight line, 3 feet apart.

Divide the 36 shots into 3 groups of

Aim each group at a different target.

Hit 12 shots at the first target from any line, then 12 at the second target, then 12 at the third target.

Try to stop each ball as close to the target as possible.

Count a shot as a success if it stops close to the target, for example within 2 feet.

Mark 3 landing zones at the edge of the green, each zone 6 feet apart in a straight line.

Hit 36 shots total, 12 shots aimed at each landing zone.

For each zone, hit 6 shots from the first line and 6 shots from the second line.

Do this for all three zones, switching lines after every 6 shots; always try to land in the target zone.
