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.

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

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
