Turn Tough Lies into Easy Pars

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.

Set up 3 targets on the green in a straight line, about 6 feet apart.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots, 12 to each target.

Place the ball in thick grass, 5 to 20 yards from the hole, and keep setup the same for every shot.

Hit 12 shots at Target

Hit 12 shots at Target

Count a successful shot if it stops within 3 feet of the target.

After all 36 shots, record the number of successful shots out of 36 attempts in the app.

Set up two rows of 20 golf balls each, 5 yards apart, on sloped rough near the green. One row is on uphill, one on downhill. Place rows 5–30 yards from the hole.

Take 36 shots total: 18 from uphill row, 18 from downhill row.

On the uphill row, hit every third ball until you take 18 shots.

On the downhill row, do the same: hit every third ball until you take 18 shots.

Only balls that land and stop in a 6-foot wide target area, 5–15 feet from the hole, count as a success. Same target for both rows.

Count all balls that stop in the target area.

Add up your total successes and enter your score in the app, 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.

Place two straight lines of 18 golf balls each on flat ground near the green.

Space the lines 5 yards apart and put them 5 to 30 yards from the hole.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots.

In the first line, hit every third ball, skipping the two in between.

At the end of the first line, switch to the second line and do the same. Alternate lines until all 36 shots are hit.

Place three target zones on the green in a line.

For the first 12 shots, aim for the closest target zone.

For the next 12 shots, aim for the middle zone.

For the last 12 shots, aim for the farthest zone.

Count each shot that lands and stops in the correct zone as a success.

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