Turn Tough Lies into Easy Pars

Make two piles of 18 golf balls each (36 balls total). Keep the balls in the same spot for every shot.

Put three markers on the green to make three target zones. Space them about 5 feet apart, in a straight line.

Hit 36 shots in total—12 shots to each target zone.

First, hit 12 shots at Zone 1, then 12 at Zone 2, then 12 at Zone

Switch between piles (above feet and below feet shots) for each group if possible, or finish one slope for all zones, then switch to the other.

Count every shot that stops inside the correct zone as a success.

After all shots, enter total successful shots in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Take 40 balls and make 10 piles with 4 balls each. Put the piles into 2 lines of 5 piles, spaced 5 to 10 yards/meters apart.

Place the piles on grass, each 1 to 10 yards/meters from the green and 5 to 30 yards/meters from the hole.

On the green, use string or tees to make a circle about 6 feet (2 meters) wide. Mark 4 equal parts in the circle.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots. Make 9 shots for each of the 4 circle parts.

Start from any pile, aiming for the first circle part. After 9 shots, go to the second part, then the third, then the fourth.

Change piles as wanted to practice from different spots, but keep piles the same.

Count a shot as success if it stops in the right part of the circle.

After all 36 shots, add the number of successful shots and enter your score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

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.

Put two rows of 18 balls each on grass near the green. Keep the rows 5 yards apart.

Put both rows about 10 yards from the hole.

Make three target zones on the green: Left, Center, and Right. Each is about 4 feet wide.

There will be 36 bump-and-run shots: 12 for each zone.

From the first row, hit every third ball to the Left zone (12 shots).

From the second row, hit every third ball to the Center zone (12 shots).

Go back to the first row. Hit every third ball to the Right zone (12 shots).

Count the shots that stop inside the target zone.

Add successes and enter score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Place 36 balls into 6 groups of 6 balls.

Mark 3 target pins on the green, 6 feet apart in a line or arc.

From above feet, hit 18 shots, 6 at each pin in order.

From below feet, hit 18 shots, 6 at each pin in order.

Keep the same ball setup and lie each time. Only change slope.

Count each ball that stops within 3 feet of the target pin as a success.

After 36 shots, add up successes out of 36 and enter score in the app.
