Master the art of touch: no more long comeback putts

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.

Count each ball that stops inside the target zone as a success.

Add up the number of successful shots out of 36 and enter the score in the app.

Get 36 balls. Split them into 3 piles of 12 balls.

Make 3 zones on the green with sticks or string. Each zone is 6 feet apart in a line.

On the grass, put each pile of balls at random spots 1 to 10 yards from the green and 5 to 30 yards from the hole. Each pile matches a zone.

Hit 12 shots from the first pile, try to land in the first zone.

Hit 12 shots from the second pile, try to land in the second zone.

Hit 12 shots from the last pile, try to land in the third zone.

Count how many balls land and stop in each zone.

Set up 4 lines on the grass, each with 9 balls spaced 1 foot apart. Put the lines 5 yards apart, between 3 and 15 yards from the green.

Place 3 targets on the green in a straight line, 3 feet apart.

Divide the 36 shots into 3 groups of

Aim each group at a different target.

Hit 12 shots at the first target from any line, then 12 at the second target, then 12 at the third target.

Try to stop each ball as close to the target as possible.

Count a shot as a success if it stops close to the target, for example within 2 feet.

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.

Set up 10 piles of balls in two lines that cross each other. Put 5 piles in each line. Leave space between all piles and lines.

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

On the green, mark two big circles around the hole. Make the first circle 6 feet (2 meters) out from the hole, and the second circle 15 feet (5 meters) out from the hole.

There are 36 shots total. Split them into 3 groups of 12 shots.

First 12 shots: try to stop the ball inside the small (inner) circle. Next 12: try to stop the ball inside the big (outer) circle but outside the small circle. Last 12: try to keep the ball anywhere on the green.

Hit one ball from each pile. Keep moving around the piles any way until all 36 shots are done using the right target for each group.

Count how many balls land in the right place for each group: inside the small circle for the first 12, in the big circle but outside the small one for the next 12, and anywhere on the green for the last

Set up 10 piles of balls in two lines, each with 5 piles. Lines cross like a plus sign. Piles in a line are 3 yards/meters apart. The lines are 5 to 10 yards/meters apart. Place piles between 1 and 10 yards/meters from the green and 5 to 30 yards/meters from the hole.

On the green, use string or tees to make 4 target areas, each a circle with a 6-foot (2 meter) radius.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots in total. Split shots into 4 groups of

Aim each group at a different target area.

Start from any pile. Hit a shot to try to land in the chosen target area.

After 9 shots at one target area, switch to the next and repeat until all 36 shots are done.

Count one point for each ball that stops in the right target area.

When finished, count successful shots in the correct area and enter your score out of 36 attempts.
