Turn Tough Lies into Easy Pars

Divide 36 golf balls into 3 groups of 12 balls. Put each group in the rough near the green.

On the green, mark 3 target zones about 15 feet from the rough.

Hit bump-and-run shots, aiming for each of the 3 zones in order. Hit 12 shots at zone 1, 12 at zone 2, and 12 at zone

Each ball that lands and stops inside its target zone counts as a success.

Keep your stance and ball position the same for every shot.

After all 36 shots, count how many landed in the correct zones and enter the total score out of 36 in the app.

Set up two lines of 18 golf balls each on a sloped fairway near the green: one line on the uphill slope, one line on the downhill slope. Balls should be spaced 5 yards apart, between 5 and 30 yards from the hole.

Place 3 target zones on the green in a row, 6 feet apart. Call them Zone 1 (closest), Zone 2 (middle), and Zone 3 (farthest).

Hit 36 total bump-and-run shots: 18 from the uphill line, 18 from the downhill line.

From the uphill line, hit 6 shots to each zone (6 to Zone 1, 6 to Zone 2, 6 to Zone 3). Always hit every third ball, skipping two balls between shots.

For the downhill line, repeat the process: 6 shots to each zone, using every third ball.

Count a success each time a ball stops inside the intended target zone.

When all 36 shots are done, record how many balls landed in the correct zone, out of 36 attempts, in the app.

Set up 4 lines of 9 balls each, with balls 1 foot apart.

Place the lines on grass, 1 to 10 yards from the green, 5 yards between lines.

Mark two circles on the green around the hole: one with a 6-foot radius, another with a 15-foot radius.

Hit 36 shots, in two groups of 18 shots.

For the first 18 shots, aim for the small circle. For the next 18 shots, aim for the big circle.

Hit balls in order from any line, switch lines as wanted.

Count each ball that stops in the right circle as a success.

After 36 shots, count how many hit their target circles and enter your score in the app out of 36 attempts.

Arrange 10 piles of balls in two lines, with 5 piles in each line. Lines are 3 yards/meters apart; piles are 4 yards/meters apart in each line.

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

On the green, make two target circles with string or tees: an inner circle with a 6-foot/2-meter radius, and an outer circle with a 15-foot/5-meter radius.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots: 18 shots at the inner circle, 18 shots at the outer circle.

Pick a ball pile and hit a bump-and-run shot to the target circle.

After 18 shots at one circle, switch and do 18 shots at the other circle.

Count every shot that stops inside the target circle as a success.

Add up your successful shots out of 36 in the app.

Place two markers on the green, 15 yards apart.

Split 36 shots into two groups of

Hit 18 bump-and-run shots from the first rough spot at the first marker, aiming to stop the ball near it.

Move to a different nearby rough spot.

Hit 18 shots at the second marker from the new spot.

Count each shot as a success if the ball stops within 3 feet of the marker.

Use the same setup and stance for all shots.

Total the number of successful shots out of 36 in the app.

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.

Place 36 balls into 6 groups of 6 balls.

Mark 3 target pins on the green, 6 feet apart in a line or arc.

From above feet, hit 18 shots, 6 at each pin in order.

From below feet, hit 18 shots, 6 at each pin in order.

Keep the same ball setup and lie each time. Only change slope.

Count each ball that stops within 3 feet of the target pin as a success.

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

Make two piles of 18 golf balls near the green: one pile has balls above foot level, one pile has balls below foot level.

Mark three landing zones in a line on the green's edge, about 5 feet apart (Zone A, Zone B, Zone C).

Hit 18 shots from the above-feet pile and 18 shots from the below-feet pile, for a total of 36 shots.

For each pile, hit 6 balls to Zone A, 6 balls to Zone B, and 6 balls to Zone C.

Count how many balls landed in the correct zone.

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

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.
