Thread Needle: Narrow Landing Zone

Set up 36 balls in 2 lines of 18 balls each, 5 to 10 yards apart, on grass 5 to 20 yards from the hole.

Mark 9 stop zones in a 3 x 3 grid on the green, spaced apart so the zones are clear.

Chip 4 balls to each stop zone, alternating between the two lines. For each zone, hit 2 balls from one line, then 2 from the other.

Keep doing this until you have hit 4 balls for each zone, for a total of 36 shots.

Count a shot as a success only if the ball stops in the right zone.

Make 10 piles of 4 balls each from 40 balls. Arrange the piles in 2 lines with 5 piles in each line. Lines cross each other.

Put the piles on grass 5 to 30 yards/meters from the hole. Space lines 5 to 10 yards/meters apart and piles 2 yards/meters apart.

On the green, put 3 targets in a line, about 8 feet apart. Call them Target A, Target B, and Target C.

Hit 36 chip shots, 12 to each target.

Hit 12 shots at Target A, then 12 at Target B, then 12 at Target C. Use any pile for any shot.

After all 36 shots, add how many were successful and enter the score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Put 10 piles of balls in two straight lines that cross. Each pile has 3 or 4 balls. Keep each pile between 5 and 30 yards from the hole.

Mark 3 landing zones on the green in a row. Make them 6 feet apart using sticks or string.

Hit 36 chip shots total. Aim for each landing zone 12 times.

Make 9 stop zones on the green. Mark them with tees, string, or buckets. Line up or put them in a grid.

Put 36 balls in 4 rows. Each row has 9 balls, spaced 1 foot apart. Put the rows about 5 yards apart on the grass, between 5 and 20 yards from the green.

Plan to hit 4 balls at each of the 9 stop zones. That is 36 shots.

Start at any row of balls. Hit balls, trying to stop each one in the first stop zone.

After 4 tries at the first zone, go to the next zone and do the same. Keep going until you try all 9 zones.

Count a shot as a success if the ball stops completely inside the target zone.

When all shots are done, count the number of successful shots and enter the score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Put 40 balls into 10 piles with 4 balls in each pile. Arrange in two lines, 5 piles per line.

Space piles 2 yards or meters apart side to side. Space the two lines 5 to 10 yards or meters apart front to back.

Mark 4 sections (quadrants) in a circle of 6 feet or 2 meters radius around the hole on the green using string or tees.

Hit 36 chip shots total, 9 shots into each quadrant.

Start at any pile and chip balls to land in the first quadrant. After 9 shots, switch to the next quadrant.

Switch piles after each shot for variety, but always keep the same chipping setup and distance.

Count each ball that stops inside the correct quadrant as a success.

After all 36 shots, enter number of successful shots made out of 36 attempts.

Arrange 36 balls in 2 lines of 18 each to form an L shape.

Keep each ball 1 foot apart in each line. Keep 5-10 yards between the two lines.

Place two circles around the hole on the green: one with a 6-foot radius, and one with a 15-foot radius.

From 5–30 yards away, chip 18 balls from the first line, aiming for the circles.

Chip the other 18 balls from the second line, aiming for the circles.

Alternate hitting 3 to 5 shots between the two lines.

Shots inside the small circle = full success. Shots inside the big circle only = partial success.

Count how many balls stopped in each circle and get your score. Enter your total successful shots out of 36 attempts.

Keep piles about 2 meters apart, rows 5–10 meters apart.

Place piles 5–30 meters from the hole, not on the green.

Mark two circles around the hole on the green: a small one (2 meters out) and a big one (5 meters out).

Take turns hitting balls from different piles, trying to stop balls in the circles.

Hit 36 balls total: 18 try for the small circle, 18 for the big circle.

Count how many balls finished in each circle.

Add these for a score and enter your total out of 36 tries.

Put the piles on grass, not on the green, between 5 and 30 yards/meters from the hole.

Mark 3 clear target zones around the hole, spaced evenly.

Hit 36 chip shots: 12 to Target Zone 1, 12 to Target Zone 2, and 12 to Target Zone

Always chip from the piles; for each set of 12 shots, pick any piles but only aim at the assigned zone.

After each shot, check if the ball stops inside the right target zone; count as success if it does.

Finish all 36 shots, then count total successes inside the right zones out of 36 attempts and enter this score in the app.

Set up 4 rows of balls. Each row has 9 balls, 1 foot apart.

Space the rows 5 yards apart on grass, between 5 and 30 yards from the hole.

Split the 36 shots into 3 groups of

First 12 shots go to Target A, next 12 to Target B, last 12 to Target C.

From each row, chip the ball to try to stop it close to the chosen target. Ball setup does not change.

After 12 shots at one target, switch to the next target. Repeat until all 36 shots are finished.

Each ball that stops within 2 feet of the target is a success.
