Turn Tough Lies into Easy Pars

Put 36 balls into 9 groups of 4 balls each around the green, spaced 1–10 yards from the edge and 5–30 yards from the hole.

Use string, tees, or markers to make 9 stop zones on the green, spread out as different landing spots.

Hit 4 bump-and-run shots at each stop zone, for a total of 36 shots.

Start at any group, aim at the first stop zone, hit 4 shots, then move to the next zone; repeat until all zones have been used.

Count each ball that stops inside the target zone as a success.

Add up the number of successful shots out of 36 and enter the score in the app.

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 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.

Put 36 balls into 6 piles of 6 balls. Place the piles on grass or slopes 1 to 10 yards from the green and 5 to 30 yards from the hole.

Mark two circles on the green: one small (6-foot radius), one big (15-foot radius).

Hit 36 shots in total. For the first 18 shots, aim for the small circle. For the next 18 shots, aim for the area between the small and big circle.

Start at any pile and hit 3 shots at a time toward the target, moving from pile to pile until you finish 18 shots.

Do the same for the bigger circle with the next 18 shots, 3 from each pile.

Count how many balls stay in the target circle for each set of 18 shots.
