Turn Tough Lies into Easy Pars

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.

Make 10 piles of balls in two lines, 5 piles in each line. The lines are 3 yards or meters apart, and each pile in a line has 4 yards or meters between them.

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

On the green, mark 4 equal quadrants using string or tees. Each quadrant is about 6 feet or 2 meters in radius.

Do 36 bump-and-run shots in total. Divide them into 4 groups of 9 shots. For each group, aim for a single quadrant (Quadrant 1, then 2, 3, 4).

Start at any pile. Hit 9 balls trying to land in Quadrant

Then do the same for Quadrants 2, 3, and 4, hitting 9 shots for each quadrant.

Count each shot that lands in the correct quadrant as a point.

Add your total points out of 36 tries and enter the score in the app.

Gather 36 balls and split them into 2 groups of

Stand on a slope where the ball is above your feet for the first 18 shots.

Choose one target on the green to aim at.

Hit 18 bump-and-run shots, trying to get close to the target from this lie.

Move to a slope where the ball is below your feet for the next 18 shots.

Hit 18 bump-and-run shots at the same target from this lie.

Count how many balls stop close to the pin. Record that number as your score out of 36 in the app.

Place 18 balls in a row on the fairway. Place another 18 balls in a row 5 yards away from the first row.

Label one row “Above Feet” and the other row “Below Feet” according to the slope.

Divide each row into 3 zones by distance: Zone 1 (5–13 yards), Zone 2 (14–21 yards), Zone 3 (22–30 yards), with 6 balls in each zone.

Hit all 36 balls: start with all balls in Zone 1, then all balls in Zone 2, then all balls in Zone

Take turns hitting every third ball from one row, then switch to the other row and do the same.

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

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

When finished with all 36 shots, record the number of successful shots out of 36 in the app.

Make two piles of 18 balls each, one on an uphill slope, one on a downhill slope, both close to the green.

Mark three target zones on the green, each 4 feet wide and 6 feet apart. Label as Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots, 18 from uphill, 18 from downhill.

Split each group of 18 shots into three sets of

Try to land 6 balls in Zone 1, 6 in Zone 2, 6 in Zone 3, for each slope.

From the uphill pile, hit 6 shots at Zone 1, then 6 at Zone 2, then 6 at Zone

From the downhill pile, do the same: 6 shots at Zone 1, 6 at Zone 2, 6 at Zone

A shot counts if the ball stops inside the target zone.
