Hit Flop & Avoid Big Numbers

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.

Pick two random spots 5-20 yards from the hole and place two piles of balls. Make spots and surfaces random but similar.

Make two circles on the green with string or tees: one circle 6 feet from the hole, one circle 15 feet from the hole.

Hit 36 flop shots: 18 shots at the small circle, 18 shots at the big circle.

At the first pile, hit 9 balls at the small circle, then 9 at the big circle.

At the second pile, again hit 9 at the small circle, then 9 at the big circle.

Count balls that stop inside the small circle as birdie. Count balls in the big circle (but outside small) as par.

Add up all balls that stayed in both circles. Enter score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Make 7 lines of 5 balls each (35 balls total), with balls 1 yard apart. Put the lines on grass 5 to 20 yards from the hole, not on the green.

Put 5 markers on the green, each 6 feet apart.

Match each line of balls to a marker on the green.

Hit all 5 balls in the line as flop shots at the marker. Move to the next line and repeat with the next marker.

Count how many balls land within 10 feet of the marker.

When done, count total balls inside 10 feet, and enter score in the app out of 35 attempts.

Split 36 balls into two groups of

Put one group at the uphill slope, and one group at the downhill slope, both in deep rough 5 to 20 yards from the hole.

On the green, make three target zones side by side, each about 3 feet wide and within 10 feet of the hole. Label them Zone 1 (left), Zone 2 (center), Zone 3 (right).

From the uphill position, hit 18 flop shots. Aim 6 balls in Zone 1, 6 in Zone 2, and 6 in Zone

From the downhill position, hit 18 flop shots. Aim 6 balls in Zone 1, 6 in Zone 2, and 6 in Zone

Count each shot that stops in the right zone as a success.

Enter the number of successes in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Arrange 36 balls into 9 piles of 4 balls each. Put 5 piles in one line and 4 piles in a second line, spaced 2 meters apart. Leave 5 to 10 meters between lines.

Mark 4 equal quadrants inside a circle with a 3 meter radius around the hole using string or tees.

Divide 36 balls into 4 groups of 9 shots. Aim for 9 shots into each quadrant.

Hit flop shots from any pile. Aim to land 9 balls in the first quadrant, then move to the next quadrant for the next 9 shots, until all 4 quadrants are targeted.

Count each shot that lands in the right quadrant as a success.

After 36 shots, enter your total successful shots in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Put two target zones on the green, 6 feet apart. Call them Zone A and Zone B.

Set up in deep rough, 15 to 40 yards from the green.

Hit 36 flop shots: 18 at Zone A, 18 at Zone B.

Hit 3 shots at Zone A, then 3 shots at Zone B. Repeat until all shots are done.

Count a success if the ball stops inside the target zone.

Keep the ball in the same place for every shot. Only aim changes.
