Open up and let it fly: alignment for flop shots

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

After 36 shots (12 per target), add up your total successful shots and enter your score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Put two target zones on the green, 6 feet apart. Call them Zone A and Zone B.

Set up in deep rough, 15 to 40 yards from the green.

Hit 3 shots at Zone A, then 3 shots at Zone B. Repeat until all shots are done.

Keep the ball in the same place for every shot. Only aim changes.

Add total successes out of 36 attempts. Enter score in the app.

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.

Arrange 10 piles of balls in two lines that cross each other. Each line has 5 piles, placed 3 yards apart. The lines are 6 yards apart.

Put all piles between 5 and 40 yards from the hole. Keep all piles on the same type of grass.

On the green, mark 4 equal quadrants. Each quadrant is a circle with a 3-meter radius around the hole.

Hit 36 flop shots: 9 shots to each quadrant.

Start at one pile. Hit 9 shots at Quadrant 1, move to another pile and hit 9 shots at Quadrant 2, then 9 shots at Quadrant 3, then 9 shots at Quadrant

A shot that stops inside the target quadrant counts as a success.

Count all successes for each quadrant and add them up.

After all 36 shots, write down your total number of successful shots in the app, out of 36.

Set up 2 target zones on the green: one uphill, one downhill, about 10 feet apart.

Put 18 balls in the uphill rough, and 18 in the downhill rough.

Hit 18 flop shots from the uphill rough and try to land each ball in the uphill target zone.

Hit 18 flop shots from the downhill rough and try to land each ball in the downhill target zone.

If the ball lands and stays in the target zone, it counts as a success.

Always keep the way you set up each ball the same; only the target zone changes.

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

From the first line of balls, hit 4 shots, one to each of the first 4 stop zones.

From the second line, hit 4 shots, one to each of the next 4 stop zones.

Count each ball that lands and stays inside the right target zone as a success.

Arrange 36 balls into 9 piles of 4 balls each, making 2 lines that cross each other. Keep piles about 2 yards apart, and lines about 5 to 10 yards apart.

On the green, make two circles: a small one (2-meter radius) and a big one (5-meter radius) around the hole.

Hit all 36 flop shots and try to land each ball inside the circles.

Hit 18 shots aiming for the small circle and 18 shots aiming for the big circle.
