Stop Ball on Dime

Prepare 36 golf balls in 3 piles of 12 balls each.

Set up 3 target zones on the putting green: one uphill, one flat, one downhill.

From the rough, 5 to 30 yards away, chip 12 balls to land and stop in the uphill zone.

Chip 12 balls to the flat zone.

Chip 12 balls to the downhill zone.

A shot counts as a success if the ball lands and stops in the correct zone.

Keep the ball setup the same for each shot. Only change which zone to aim for.

Count how many shots landed and stopped in the right zones out of 36 attempts, and enter the score in the app.

Arrange 10 piles of balls in two lines that cross each other. Each line has 5 piles. Each pile has the same number of balls.

Put the piles 5 to 30 yards from the hole. Leave 3 yards between piles in a line. Make lines 5 to 10 yards apart.

Set up 3 targets around the green. Each target is about 6 feet apart from the others.

There are 36 chip shots total, with 12 shots for each target.

Always use the same stance and ball position for every shot.

For each set of 12 shots, chip to the target from any pile. Try to get close to the target.

A shot is a success if the ball stops within 3 feet of the target.

After all 36 shots, add up how many balls stopped within 3 feet of the target and enter the score out of 36 attempts in the app.

Place 36 balls into 9 piles of 4 balls each. Arrange piles in two lines, with 4 in one line and 5 in the other, 5-10 yards apart and 2 yards between piles.

On the green, set up 3 landing zones side by side, 6 feet apart, using sticks, clubs, or string.

Hit 36 chip shots, 12 shots at each landing zone.

Hit 12 chip shots at the first landing zone from any piles.

Hit 12 chip shots at the second landing zone. Change piles if wanted.

Hit 12 chip shots at the third landing zone. Change piles if wanted.

Scatter 40 balls into 8 lines of 5 balls each, spaced 1 yard or meter apart, placed anywhere from 5 to 30 yards from the hole.

On the green, make two circles around the hole: one with a 6-foot (2-meter) radius, and one with a 15-foot (5-meter) radius, using string or tees.

Chip 36 balls during the test, divided into 3 sets of 12 balls.

Chip the first 12 balls, trying to make them land inside the small circle.

Chip the next 12 balls, trying to make them land inside the big circle but outside the small circle.

Chip the last 12 balls, trying to make them land anywhere inside the big circle.

Start from any line and move around as needed, but use only 36 balls.

Count each ball that stops where it is supposed to for each set.

Set up 3 landing zones on the green, each about 6 feet apart in a straight line toward the hole.

Choose one spot in the rough grass, 5 to 20 yards from the hole, to hit from. Do not move this spot.

Hit 36 chip shots—12 to each zone in order.

Hit 12 shots trying to land and stop in the first zone.

Next, hit 12 shots to the second zone.

Then, hit 12 shots to the third zone.

After all 36 shots, add up how many successes out of 36 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.

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

Scatter 40 balls into 8 lines of 5 balls. Each ball should be 1 yard apart. Place lines 5–30 yards from the hole. Keep setup the same for all shots.

On the green, use markers to make 4 equal pieces inside a 6-foot circle around the hole.

Take 32 chip shots total. Aim 8 shots at each quadrant.

For each of the 8 lines, choose a quadrant to aim for. Hit all 5 balls in that line to that quadrant. Move to a new line for a new quadrant. Keep going until all 32 shots are done.

Count each shot that stops inside the target quadrant as a success.

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.
