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.

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

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.

Set up 9 piles of 4 balls each, spread between 1 and 10 yards from the green and 5 to 30 yards from the hole.

Mark 9 stop zones on the green using tees, string, or small buckets.

Do 36 bump-and-run shots, 4 shots at each of the 9 stop zones.

From any pile, hit 4 shots to the first stop zone.

Do the same for the other stop zones, always 4 shots per zone, using the original ball setup.

Count shots that stop inside the right stop zone.

Add up how many shots were successful, and enter this number out of 36 attempts.

Set up two lines of 18 golf balls each on a sloped fairway near the green: one line on the uphill slope, one line on the downhill slope. Balls should be spaced 5 yards apart, between 5 and 30 yards from the hole.

Place 3 target zones on the green in a row, 6 feet apart. Call them Zone 1 (closest), Zone 2 (middle), and Zone 3 (farthest).

Hit 36 total bump-and-run shots: 18 from the uphill line, 18 from the downhill line.

From the uphill line, hit 6 shots to each zone (6 to Zone 1, 6 to Zone 2, 6 to Zone 3). Always hit every third ball, skipping two balls between shots.

For the downhill line, repeat the process: 6 shots to each zone, using every third ball.

Count a success each time a ball stops inside the intended target zone.

When all 36 shots are done, record how many balls landed in the correct zone, out of 36 attempts, in the app.

Set up 3 targets on the green in a straight line, about 6 feet apart.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots, 12 to each target.

Place the ball in thick grass, 5 to 20 yards from the hole, and keep setup the same for every shot.

Hit 12 shots at Target

Count a successful shot if it stops within 3 feet of the target.

After all 36 shots, record the number of successful shots out of 36 attempts in the app.

Arrange 10 piles of balls in two lines, with 5 piles in each line. Lines are 3 yards/meters apart; piles are 4 yards/meters apart in each line.

Put the piles on grass, 1 to 10 yards/meters from the green and 5 to 30 yards/meters from the hole.

On the green, make two target circles with string or tees: an inner circle with a 6-foot/2-meter radius, and an outer circle with a 15-foot/5-meter radius.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots: 18 shots at the inner circle, 18 shots at the outer circle.

Pick a ball pile and hit a bump-and-run shot to the target circle.

After 18 shots at one circle, switch and do 18 shots at the other circle.

Count every shot that stops inside the target circle as a success.

Add up your successful shots out of 36 in the app.
