Open up and let it fly: alignment for flop shots

Set up 10 piles of balls in two lines, making a cross. Each line has 5 piles. Piles are 3 yards or meters apart and are between 5 and 40 yards or meters from the hole on grass.

On the green, use sticks, clubs, or string to mark 3 landing zones in a straight line, spaced 3 feet or 1 meter apart.

There are 36 flop shots in total. Divide them into 3 groups of 12 shots, aiming each group at a different landing zone.

Pick any pile to start. Hit each shot, trying to land the ball in the right zone.

After 12 shots to the first zone, do 12 shots to the next zone, then finish with 12 shots to the last zone.

Count the number of balls that land and stop in the correct zone.

After all 36 shots, enter the number of successful shots in the app, out of 36 attempts.

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 2 target areas on the green: one uphill, one downhill, about 6 feet apart.

Use markers to show the edges of each target area.

Choose a spot 20 yards from the hole and set up golf balls for uphill shots.

Hit 18 flop shots, trying to land each one in the uphill area. Try to keep each ball inside the zone.

Move to the downhill area, same distance from the hole.

Hit 18 flop shots, trying to land each one in the downhill area.

Keep all shots from the same spot on each slope. Do not move the ball for each shot.

Count shots that stop inside the right target area.

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

Put 18 balls in one bucket for shots above your feet, and 18 balls in another bucket for shots below your feet.

On the practice green, set up 3 target zones in a row, about 10 to 15 feet from the hole.

Split the 36 balls into 3 groups of 12 balls.

For the first 12 balls, hit from above feet and aim for Target Zone

For the next 12 balls, hit from below feet and aim for Target Zone

For the last 12 balls, switch between above and below feet every 2 balls and aim for Target Zone

Always keep the ball on the correct slope as needed, only change which target zone you aim at as above.

Count each ball that lands and stays in the correct target zone as a success.

When done, count how many successes out of 36 and enter the score in the app.
