How close can you get from a tough lie? Precision test

Make 2 lines of 5 ball piles each (10 piles total). Keep lines 6 yards apart and piles 4 yards apart.

Put all piles on short grass 5-20 yards from the hole, not on the green.

Place 3 target markers in a line on the green. Space them 6 feet apart. Call them Target A, Target B, and Target C.

Hit 36 flop shots in total, in 3 sets of 12 shots.

First 12 shots go to Target A. Next 12 to Target B. Last 12 to Target C.

Pick any pile for each shot. Hit the ball at the current target.

Count each shot that stops closest to or inside the target area. This is a "success."

Add up all successful shots for each target.

Record the score out of 36 attempts in the app.

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.

Put 40 balls into 8 piles of 5 balls each on grass or a slope, between 5 and 40 yards from the hole but not on the green.

On the green make 3 landing zones, each 6 feet apart in a line.

Hit 36 flop shots, 12 for each zone.

Hit 12 shots to the first zone, then 12 to the second, then 12 to the third. Switch between piles if wanted.

For the first 12 shots, aim for Landing Zone 1, hitting 2 balls from each pile.

For the next 12 shots, aim for Landing Zone 2, hitting 2 balls from each pile.

For the last 12 shots, aim for Landing Zone 3, hitting the remaining 2 balls from each pile.
