Open up and let it fly: alignment for flop shots

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 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.

Put 36 balls in two crossing lines with 18 balls in each line. Balls are 1 foot apart.

Make 9 stop zones on the green using tees, strings, or markers. Keep them spaced out and easy to see.

Hit 4 flop shots to each stop zone. This makes 36 shots total (4 shots for each of the 9 zones).

From the first line of balls, hit 4 shots, one to each of the first 4 stop zones.

From the second line, hit 4 shots, one to each of the next 4 stop zones.

Use the rest of the balls to hit 4 shots to the 9th stop zone, then enter score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Count a shot a success only if the ball stops inside the right stop zone.

Add your total successful shots out of 36 and enter the score in the app.

Place 40 balls into 10 piles of 4 balls each, with the piles in two lines of 5 piles. Lines are about 7 yards apart, and piles are about 2 yards apart within each line.

Mark 9 stop zones as a 3-by-3 grid using tees, string, or markers. Zones are about 3 feet apart.

Hit 36 balls in total, aiming to land 4 balls in each of the 9 stop zones.

Hit 4 balls at the first stop zone from any pile, then move to the next zone and hit 4 balls there. Repeat until all 9 zones are done.

Each time a ball stops in the correct zone, count a point.

After 36 shots, add up how many balls landed in the correct zones and enter your score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Put two target zones on the green, 6 feet apart. Call them Zone A and Zone B.

Set up in deep rough, 15 to 40 yards from the green.

Hit 3 shots at Zone A, then 3 shots at Zone B. Repeat until all shots are done.

Add total successes out of 36 attempts. Enter score in the app.

Set up 3 landing zones on the green, about 6 feet apart in a line. Name them Zone 1 (close), Zone 2 (middle), Zone 3 (far).

Put 2 piles of 18 balls each, 5–20 yards away from the green, in deep or thick grass.

Hit 36 flop shots from these piles, trying to land the ball in the zones.

Hit 12 shots to Zone

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.

Make 3 target areas on the green: Left, Center, and Right. Each should be about 4 feet wide.

Put 3 piles of balls on a flat fairway, 15 to 20 yards from the hole. Space them so shots come from different angles.

Hit 36 flop shots: 12 at the Left zone, 12 at the Center zone, 12 at the Right zone.

Take shots from different piles, but set up the ball the same way each time.

Check if the ball stops inside the zone aimed for.
