Mark three target zones on the green, each 4 feet wide and 6 feet apart. Label as Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots, 18 from uphill, 18 from downhill.

Split each group of 18 shots into three sets of

Try to land 6 balls in Zone 1, 6 in Zone 2, 6 in Zone 3, for each slope.

From the uphill pile, hit 6 shots at Zone 1, then 6 at Zone 2, then 6 at Zone

From the downhill pile, do the same: 6 shots at Zone 1, 6 at Zone 2, 6 at Zone

A shot counts if the ball stops inside the target zone.

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 36 balls into 9 groups of 4 balls each around the green, spaced 1–10 yards from the edge and 5–30 yards from the hole.

Use string, tees, or markers to make 9 stop zones on the green, spread out as different landing spots.

Hit 4 bump-and-run shots at each stop zone, for a total of 36 shots.

Start at any group, aim at the first stop zone, hit 4 shots, then move to the next zone; repeat until all zones have been used.
