Master the art of touch: no more long comeback putts

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 40 balls into 8 piles of 5 balls each. Place the piles between 1 and 10 yards from the green and 5 to 30 yards from the hole.

On the green, use string or tees to make 4 equal sections inside a circle with a 6-foot radius around the hole.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots, split into 4 groups of 9 shots. Each group tries to stop the ball in a different section.

Choose any pile and hit 9 shots at the first section. Then do 9 shots for the next section, and repeat for all 4 sections.

For each set of 9 shots, use any pile, but keep the same setup for all shots.

Count each shot that stops in the correct section as a success.

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

Scatter 36 balls into 6 lines of 6 balls each on grass near the green. Put each line 1 to 10 yards or meters from the green and 5 to 30 yards or meters from the hole.

At the edge of the green, set up 3 targets spaced about 6 feet (2 meters) apart in a straight line. Name them Target 1, Target 2, and Target

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots. Aim 12 shots at Target 1, 12 at Target 2, and 12 at Target

From each line, hit all 6 balls at the chosen target for that group of 12 shots. Switch targets after every 12 shots.

A shot is a success if the ball stops within 10 feet (3 meters) of the target.

Record how many shots land inside the 10-foot zone, out of 36 attempts, and enter the score in the app.

Place two lines of 18 balls each next to the green, 1 foot apart. Lines are at right angles, 5 to 10 yards apart.

Mark 9 stop zones on the green using buckets, tees, or string. Make 3 groups with 3 zones each, spaced evenly.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots: 12 at each group of 3 zones (4 shots per zone).

From the first line, hit 12 shots at the first group of 3 zones (4 shots per zone).

Move to the second line, hit 12 shots at the second group of 3 zones (4 shots per zone).

Go back to the first line and hit 12 shots at the third group of 3 zones (4 shots per zone). Enter score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Count each success where the ball stops in the target zone. Add all successes for your score.

Set up 4 lines of 3 balls each, for one player. Place balls 1 foot apart in each line. Place lines 5 yards apart. Total 36 balls.

On the green, use sticks or string to mark 3 landing zones in a row, each zone 6 feet apart.

Divide the 36 balls into 3 groups of

Aim 12 balls at Landing Zone 1, 12 at Zone 2, and 12 at Zone

Hit all 12 balls at Zone 1, then 12 at Zone 2, then 12 at Zone

Count each ball that stops inside the target zone as successful. After all 36 shots, count how many were successful, and record score out of 36.

Set up 10 piles of balls in two lines that cross each other. Put 5 piles in each line. Leave space between all piles and lines.

Put the piles 1 to 10 yards/meters from the green and 5 to 30 yards/meters from the hole.

On the green, mark two big circles around the hole. Make the first circle 6 feet (2 meters) out from the hole, and the second circle 15 feet (5 meters) out from the hole.

There are 36 shots total. Split them into 3 groups of 12 shots.

First 12 shots: try to stop the ball inside the small (inner) circle. Next 12: try to stop the ball inside the big (outer) circle but outside the small circle. Last 12: try to keep the ball anywhere on the green.

Hit one ball from each pile. Keep moving around the piles any way until all 36 shots are done using the right target for each group.

Count how many balls land in the right place for each group: inside the small circle for the first 12, in the big circle but outside the small one for the next 12, and anywhere on the green for the last

Enter score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Put 40 balls into 8 lines with 5 balls in each line. Lines should be on grass, 1 to 10 yards/meters from the green and 5 to 30 yards/meters from the hole. Balls in each line should be about 1 yard/meter apart.

Make 3 landing zones on the edge of the green. Use sticks or string to mark each zone. Zones should be in a straight line and 6 feet (2 meters) apart.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots using the balls. Split these into 3 groups of 12 shots.

For the first 12 shots, aim at the first landing zone. Use any of the 8 lines, hitting all 5 balls in a line, then go to another line until 12 shots are done.

For the next 12 shots, aim at the second landing zone. Hit full lines of 5 balls until you have 12 shots.

For the last 12 shots, aim at the third landing zone. Hit full lines of 5 balls until 12 shots are done. Count each ball that lands and stays in the chosen landing zone as a success, and add up total successful shots out of 36 attempts in the app.
