Thread Needle: Narrow Landing Zone

Set up three landing zones on the green in a line, 6 feet apart.

Make three piles of 12 balls each at the edge of the green.

Use the first pile to chip balls into the first landing zone, 12 shots.

Use the second pile to chip balls into the second landing zone, 12 shots.

Use the third pile to chip balls into the third landing zone, 12 shots. Count how many balls land and stay in each zone.

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

Set up 10 piles of balls in two lines. Each line has 5 piles. The lines are 5 to 10 yards apart. Each pile in a line is 4 yards apart.

Put the piles 5 to 30 yards from the hole on any type of grass.

On the green, make 4 quadrants with string or tees. Each quadrant is about 6 feet wide.

Hit 36 chip shots. Hit 9 shots to each of the 4 quadrants.

Choose a pile and chip 9 balls, aiming for one quadrant.

After 9 shots, switch to the next quadrant. Do this for all 4 quadrants.

A chip that stops inside the right quadrant counts as a success.

After 36 shots, count how many balls stopped in the target quadrants and enter your score in the app out of 36 attempts.

Put 40 balls into 8 lines. Each line has 5 balls. Lines should be about 1 yard or meter apart. Put these lines anywhere on the grass 5 to 30 yards/meters from the hole but not on the green.

On the green, use sticks, clubs, or string to mark 3 landing zones in a straight line about 6 feet (2 meters) apart.

Divide the 36 chip shots into 3 sets of 12 shots.

For each set, pick 3 lines of balls and aim every shot at one landing zone.

Hit 5 chips from each line to the chosen zone. After 3 lines (15 shots), change zones until all 36 shots are done.

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

Enter the total number of successful shots in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Set up 10 piles of 4 balls each in two rows (5 piles per row), spaced 2 yards/meters apart. Put the rows 5 to 10 yards/meters apart and place the piles 5 to 30 yards/meters from the hole.

Mark 9 stop zones on the green using buckets, string, or tees. Space them out so each zone is different.

Prepare to hit 36 chip shots, divided into 9 groups of 4 shots. Each group targets a different stop zone.

From any pile, hit 4 shots at the first stop zone. Move to the next stop zone and hit 4 shots at it. Keep going until you’ve aimed 4 shots at each of the 9 zones.

Count every ball that stops inside the right zone as a success.

When done, count up all successful stops out of 36 attempts and enter the score in the app.

Make 10 piles of 4 balls each from 40 balls. Arrange the piles in 2 lines with 5 piles in each line. Lines cross each other.

Put the piles on grass 5 to 30 yards/meters from the hole. Space lines 5 to 10 yards/meters apart and piles 2 yards/meters apart.

On the green, put 3 targets in a line, about 8 feet apart. Call them Target A, Target B, and Target C.

Hit 36 chip shots, 12 to each target.

Hit 12 shots at Target A, then 12 at Target B, then 12 at Target C. Use any pile for any shot.

Count a shot as a success if it stops within 10 feet of the target.

After all 36 shots, add how many were successful and enter the score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Put 36 balls into 6 piles of 6 balls on the grass, between 5 and 30 yards from the hole.

Place 3 flags or targets on the green, 6 feet apart in a line.

Split the 36 balls into 3 groups of 12 shots.

Hit the first 12 balls to the first flag and try to stop each ball within 10 feet of it.

Hit the next 12 balls to the second flag, trying to stop them within 10 feet.

Hit the last 12 balls to the third flag, again aiming to stop within 10 feet.

Switch which pile you use each time to practice different distances and grass.

Count every ball that stops within 10 feet of its flag as a successful shot.

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