Precision Short Irons

Pick a flag or target to aim at with your 8 or 9 iron.

Place four cones or markers around the flag to create four equal areas. Put them about 5% of the distance to the flag in four directions.

Hit 36 shots total: 9 to each area.

Use your 8-iron or 9-iron as you want, but hit 9 shots to each area.

Switch between areas in any order. Try to land each ball in the correct area.

Count each ball that lands and stays in the right area as a success.

Add up your successful shots out of 36 and record your score in the app.

Pick one flag or target for short irons (9 or 8 iron) on the driving range.

Mark a 4-yard circle (birdie zone) and a 7-yard circle (par zone) around the flag with cones or markers.

Hit 36 shots using only a 9 or 8 iron.

For 12 shots, aim for the inner 4-yard zone. For 12 shots, aim for the outer 7-yard zone but outside the inner circle. For 12 shots, aim anywhere in both zones trying to be consistent.

Use the same ball setup each shot. Only change the zone you’re aiming for.

Count a shot as successful if it lands and stays in the correct zone for that set.

Pick one target on the driving range for short irons (9 or 8 iron).

Break the test into 4 groups of 9 shots (36 total shots).

In each group, hit alternating pairs of opposite shot types: fade/draw, high/low, pull/fade, push/draw.

Hit 5 pairs, but drop 1 shot from the last pair so each group is 9 shots.

Use only 9 or 8 irons with the same ball setup for every shot.

Try to make each shot land near the target and curve the right way.

Count as a success if the shot matches the shape and lands near the target.

Do all 4 groups for a total of 36 shots.

Pick one flag/target suitable for short irons (8 or 9).

Use existing objects around you to creatively imagine hazards and boundaries (such as water, sand traps, out-of-bounds, or edges of the green) around that target.

Hit 36 shots with the same setup, aiming all balls at this one target.

Focus on landing the ball in the imagined target area and minimizing large misses.

Count how many shots land and stay in the correct target zone.
