Open up and let it fly: alignment for flop shots

Place 40 balls into 10 piles of 4 balls each, with the piles in two lines of 5 piles. Lines are about 7 yards apart, and piles are about 2 yards apart within each line.

Mark 9 stop zones as a 3-by-3 grid using tees, string, or markers. Zones are about 3 feet apart.

Hit 36 balls in total, aiming to land 4 balls in each of the 9 stop zones.

Hit 4 balls at the first stop zone from any pile, then move to the next zone and hit 4 balls there. Repeat until all 9 zones are done.

Each time a ball stops in the correct zone, count a point.

After 36 shots, add up how many balls landed in the correct zones and enter your score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

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.

Set up 10 piles of balls in two lines that cross each other, 5 piles in each line. The piles are 3 yards/meters apart. The two lines are 5 to 10 yards/meters apart.

Put the piles 5 to 40 yards/meters away from the hole, not on the green.

Mark 9 target zones on the green using tees, string, or small buckets. Make them easy to see.

Hit 36 flop shots total, 9 to each target zone.
