Set up 10 piles of balls in two lines. The lines are 3 yards/meters apart. Each pile in a line is 4 yards/meters apart.

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

Make 9 stop zones on the green with buckets, string, or tees. Number the zones 1 to

Divide 36 tries into 9 groups of 4 shots. Each group tries for a different stop zone.

For each set of 4 shots, choose any pile and hit shots to the chosen stop zone.

After 4 shots at one zone, go to the next stop zone and do the same. Do this for all 9 zones.

Count every shot that stops in the right zone as a success.

Add up successes out of 36 tries and enter the score in the app.

Set up 4 rows of 9 balls each, spaced 1 foot apart. Each row is 3 yards apart.

On the green, use strings or tees to mark 4 circles, each 6 feet wide.

Hit 9 balls at each circle, for a total of 36 shots.

Start at any row. Hit 9 balls at the first circle, then the next 9 at the second, and so on for all circles.

Keep the balls in the same place and aim at the target circle each time.

Count how many balls stop inside each circle after 9 shots.

Add up the number of balls that stopped inside the target circles out of 36, and enter score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Set up 4 lines on the grass, each with 9 balls spaced 1 foot apart. Put the lines 5 yards apart, between 3 and 15 yards from the green.

Place 3 targets on the green in a straight line, 3 feet apart.

Divide the 36 shots into 3 groups of

Aim each group at a different target.

Hit 12 shots at the first target from any line, then 12 at the second target, then 12 at the third target.

Try to stop each ball as close to the target as possible.

Count a shot as a success if it stops close to the target, for example within 2 feet.

Add the successful shots and enter the 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.

Place a bucket of balls next to the green with 2 straight lines of 20 balls arranged perpendicular to each other.

Space the lines 5 to 10 yards/meters apart, with each ball about 1 foot (30 cm) apart in each line.

Mark two circles on the green: an inner circle with a 6-foot (2 m) radius and an outer circle with a 15-foot (5 m) radius around the hole.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots in 2 sets of 18 shots, switching between the two lines.

Hit 3 to 5 shots from one line, then switch to the other line, until all 36 balls are played.

Try to land balls in the circles: inside the inner circle is best, inside the outer circle is okay.

Count how many balls stopped inside the outer circle (including the inner circle), and enter your score in the app out of 36 attempts.

Put 36 balls into 9 groups of 4 balls each around the green, spaced 1–10 yards from the edge and 5–30 yards from the hole.

Use string, tees, or markers to make 9 stop zones on the green, spread out as different landing spots.

Hit 4 bump-and-run shots at each stop zone, for a total of 36 shots.

Start at any group, aim at the first stop zone, hit 4 shots, then move to the next zone; repeat until all zones have been used.

Count each ball that stops inside the target zone as a success.

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

Put 40 balls in 8 lines of 5 balls each around the green. Lines should be about 1 yard/meter apart and placed 1 to 10 yards/meters from the green and 5 to 30 yards/meters from the hole.

On the green, mark two circle zones around the hole: one with a 6-foot (2 meter) radius and another with a 15-foot (5 meter) radius.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots—first 18 shots aiming for the small inner circle, then 18 shots aiming for the bigger outer circle.

Use any line of balls. Hit shots for the inner circle for 18 attempts, then switch to hitting shots for the outer circle for another 18 attempts. Change lines as wanted.

Count each ball that stops in the circle aimed for as a success.

After all 36 shots, add the number of successful shots out of 36 and enter your score in the app.

Put 36 balls in 2 lines near the green. Each line has 18 balls about 1 foot apart.

Place the 2 lines so they cross each other like a plus sign, 5 to 10 yards apart.

Put 3 targets about 6 feet apart on the green.

Hit 12 shots at each target, for a total of 36 shots.

Start with one line and hit 12 shots trying to stop the ball within 10 feet of the first target.

Use the other line and hit 12 shots at the second target, same goal.

Hit 12 shots at the third target from either line, trying to keep within 10 feet.

Count each shot that stops within 10 feet of the target.

After 36 shots, write down your number of successful shots out of 36 attempts in the app.

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.
