Open up and let it fly: alignment for flop shots

Pick a spot 5 to 20 yards from the hole near the green to practice flop shots.

Place 36 balls in two lines so they cross in the middle. Each line has 18 balls, 1 foot apart.

Use string or tees to mark 4 equal zones inside a 10-foot circle around the hole.

Split the 36 balls into 4 groups of 9 balls. Each group aims for a different zone.

From the first line, hit 9 balls to the first zone.

From the second line, hit 9 balls to the second zone.

Go back to the first line and hit 9 balls to the third zone.

From the second line, hit 9 balls to the fourth zone. Count the number of balls that land in the right zone each time. After all shots, enter your total number of successes out of 36 in the app.

Place 18 balls on a slope above the feet, and 18 balls on a slope below the feet, on opposite sides near the green.

Set one target on the green at a short distance between 10 and 20 yards.

Hit 36 flop shots: 18 from above the feet, 18 from below the feet.

Every 3 shots, change aim to left, center, or right of the target. Hit 6 shots at each aim for both slopes.

Try to land each ball close to the target.

Count a shot as successful if the ball lands within 3 feet of the target.

Count total successful shots and enter the score in the app out of 36 attempts.

Set up 3 landing zones on the green, about 6 feet apart in a line. Name them Zone 1 (close), Zone 2 (middle), Zone 3 (far).

Put 2 piles of 18 balls each, 5–20 yards away from the green, in deep or thick grass.

Hit 36 flop shots from these piles, trying to land the ball in the zones.

Hit 12 shots to Zone

Alternate piles if wanted.

Hit 12 shots to Zone
