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.

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.

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.

Set up 36 balls in 9 piles of 4 balls each, in lines 5 to 10 yards apart next to the green.

Mark 9 stop zones on the green with buckets, string, or tees, in a line or grid.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots, 4 shots to each stop zone.

Keep piles in place and take turns hitting from different piles to each stop zone in order.

Count a success each time the ball stops in the right zone.

When all 36 shots are done, add up successful shots and enter the score in the app out of 36 attempts.

Set up 4 lines of 3 balls each, for one player. Place balls 1 foot apart in each line. Place lines 5 yards apart. Total 36 balls.

On the green, use sticks or string to mark 3 landing zones in a row, each zone 6 feet apart.

Divide the 36 balls into 3 groups of

Aim 12 balls at Landing Zone 1, 12 at Zone 2, and 12 at Zone

Hit all 12 balls at Zone 1, then 12 at Zone 2, then 12 at Zone

Count each ball that stops inside the target zone as successful. After all 36 shots, count how many were successful, and record score out of 36.

Place two lines of 18 balls each near the green. Balls are 1 foot apart. Lines are 5 to 10 yards apart.

On the green, make a circle around the hole (6 feet radius) and divide it into 4 equal quadrants with string or markers.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots total, 9 shots at each quadrant.

For each set of 9 shots, aim to stop the ball inside one chosen quadrant.

Hit 4 or 5 shots in a row from one line, then switch to the other line and finish the 9 shots for that quadrant.

After 9 shots to one quadrant, move to the next quadrant and repeat the routine until all 4 quadrants have been used.

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

After all 36 shots, add up successful shots in the intended quadrants and enter score in the app, out of 36 attempts.
