Turn Tough Lies into Easy Pars

Make two piles of 18 golf balls at the edge of the green: one pile for above the feet, one for below the feet.

Mark three landing zones on the green, each 4 feet wide and 5 feet apart in a straight line.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots: 18 from above feet, 18 from below feet.

For each lie (above and below feet), hit 6 shots to each landing zone (6 per zone × 3 zones = 18 shots per lie).

Keep the same ball setup and distance for all shots. Only change where you are aiming.

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

After 36 shots, record the number of successful shots out of 36 attempts in the app.

Gather 36 balls and split them into 2 groups of

Stand on a slope where the ball is above your feet for the first 18 shots.

Choose one target on the green to aim at.

Hit 18 bump-and-run shots, trying to get close to the target from this lie.

Move to a slope where the ball is below your feet for the next 18 shots.

Hit 18 bump-and-run shots at the same target from this lie.

Count how many balls stop close to the pin. Record that number as your score out of 36 in the app.

Divide 36 golf balls into 3 groups of 12 balls. Put each group in the rough near the green.

On the green, mark 3 target zones about 15 feet from the rough.

Hit bump-and-run shots, aiming for each of the 3 zones in order. Hit 12 shots at zone 1, 12 at zone 2, and 12 at zone

Each ball that lands and stops inside its target zone counts as a success.

Keep your stance and ball position the same for every shot.

After all 36 shots, count how many landed in the correct zones and enter the total score out of 36 in the app.

Place two rows of 18 balls each next to the green. Space the rows 5 to 10 yards apart. Balls in each row are 1 foot apart.

On the green, use strings or tees to mark 4 equal quadrants in a 6-foot circle.

Hit 36 bump-n-run shots, aiming 9 shots at each quadrant.

Hit 3 shots from the first row at Quadrant

Switch to the second row and hit 3 shots at Quadrant

Keep switching rows every 3 shots. Next aim at Quadrant 3 from the first row, then Quadrant 4 from the second row, until each quadrant has 9 shots.

Count each shot that stops inside the correct quadrant as a success.

Add up total successes 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.
