Open up and let it fly: alignment for flop shots

Pick a spot 5 to 20 yards from the hole near the green to practice flop shots.

Place 36 balls in two lines so they cross in the middle. Each line has 18 balls, 1 foot apart.

Use string or tees to mark 4 equal zones inside a 10-foot circle around the hole.

Split the 36 balls into 4 groups of 9 balls. Each group aims for a different zone.

From the first line, hit 9 balls to the first zone.

From the second line, hit 9 balls to the second zone.

Go back to the first line and hit 9 balls to the third zone.

From the second line, hit 9 balls to the fourth zone. Count the number of balls that land in the right zone each time. After all shots, enter your total number of successes out of 36 in the app.

Arrange 36 balls in two lines of 18 balls each. Lines cross each other and are 5 to 10 yards apart. Balls are 1 foot apart in each line.

Put three landing zones in a row on the green, 6 feet apart.

There are 36 shots. Aim 12 shots at each landing zone.

From one line, hit 6 shots at the first landing zone.

From the other line, hit 6 shots at the second landing zone.

Go back to the first line and hit 6 shots at the third landing zone.

Switch lines and keep repeating until all 36 shots are done, with 12 shots at each landing zone.

Count each shot that lands and stops in the right zone as successful.

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

Arrange 36 balls into 9 piles of 4 balls each, making 2 lines that cross each other. Keep piles about 2 yards apart, and lines about 5 to 10 yards apart.

On the green, make two circles: a small one (2-meter radius) and a big one (5-meter radius) around the hole.

Hit all 36 flop shots and try to land each ball inside the circles.

Hit 18 shots aiming for the small circle and 18 shots aiming for the big circle.

Change where shots come from by using different piles, hitting 2 to 4 shots from each pile that land inside a circle.

Count balls inside either circle as successes.

Add up all successful shots and enter the total out of 36 in the app.

Make 2 target areas on the green: one uphill, one downhill, about 6 feet apart.

Use markers to show the edges of each target area.

Choose a spot 20 yards from the hole and set up golf balls for uphill shots.

Hit 18 flop shots, trying to land each one in the uphill area. Try to keep each ball inside the zone.

Move to the downhill area, same distance from the hole.

Hit 18 flop shots, trying to land each one in the downhill area.

Keep all shots from the same spot on each slope. Do not move the ball for each shot.

Count shots that stop inside the right target area.

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

Arrange 10 piles of balls in two lines that cross each other. Each line has 5 piles, placed 3 yards apart. The lines are 6 yards apart.

Put all piles between 5 and 40 yards from the hole. Keep all piles on the same type of grass.

On the green, mark 4 equal quadrants. Each quadrant is a circle with a 3-meter radius around the hole.

Hit 36 flop shots: 9 shots to each quadrant.

Start at one pile. Hit 9 shots at Quadrant 1, move to another pile and hit 9 shots at Quadrant 2, then 9 shots at Quadrant 3, then 9 shots at Quadrant

A shot that stops inside the target quadrant counts as a success.

Count all successes for each quadrant and add them up.

After all 36 shots, write down your total number of successful shots in the app, out of 36.

Set up 2 target zones on the green: one uphill, one downhill, about 10 feet apart.

Put 18 balls in the uphill rough, and 18 in the downhill rough.

Hit 18 flop shots from the uphill rough and try to land each ball in the uphill target zone.

Hit 18 flop shots from the downhill rough and try to land each ball in the downhill target zone.

If the ball lands and stays in the target zone, it counts as a success.

Always keep the way you set up each ball the same; only the target zone changes.

After all 36 shots, count how many were successful out of 36 and enter your score in the app.

Set up two lines of 18 balls each. The lines should cross at a right angle. Each ball is 1 foot apart.

Put two targets on the green, 5 to 10 yards apart. The targets are set 5 to 20 yards away from the ball lines.

Hit 36 flop shots: 18 shots from the first line, 18 shots from the second line.

For each line, split the 18 shots into 3 groups of 6 balls.

For each set of 6 balls, aim at one target. Try to land the ball within 10 feet of the target.

Take turns aiming each set at a different target.

Count each ball that lands within 10 feet of the target as a success.

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

Set up 10 piles of balls in two lines, making a cross. Each line has 5 piles. Piles are 3 yards or meters apart and are between 5 and 40 yards or meters from the hole on grass.

On the green, use sticks, clubs, or string to mark 3 landing zones in a straight line, spaced 3 feet or 1 meter apart.

There are 36 flop shots in total. Divide them into 3 groups of 12 shots, aiming each group at a different landing zone.

Pick any pile to start. Hit each shot, trying to land the ball in the right zone.

After 12 shots to the first zone, do 12 shots to the next zone, then finish with 12 shots to the last zone.

Count the number of balls that land and stop in the correct zone.

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