Up-and-down contest: how many can you save in a row?

Place 40 balls into 10 piles of 4 balls each, with the piles in two lines of 5 piles. Lines are about 7 yards apart, and piles are about 2 yards apart within each line.

Mark 9 stop zones as a 3-by-3 grid using tees, string, or markers. Zones are about 3 feet apart.

Hit 36 balls in total, aiming to land 4 balls in each of the 9 stop zones.

Hit 4 balls at the first stop zone from any pile, then move to the next zone and hit 4 balls there. Repeat until all 9 zones are done.

Each time a ball stops in the correct zone, count a point.

After 36 shots, add up how many balls landed in the correct zones and enter your score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Find a flat spot in the rough, 5 to 20 yards from the hole.

Set up three targets on the green, spaced apart for three landing zones.

Hit 36 flop shots; 12 shots at each target.

Keep ball position the same for all shots, only aim at the next target after 12 shots.

Try to land the ball softly in the target zone.

Count each shot that lands and stops in the correct zone as a success.

After 36 shots (12 per target), add up your total successful shots and enter your score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Place two ball markers on the green, about 10 feet apart.

Choose a spot on the uphill slope, 5 to 20 yards from the hole. Use this spot every time for the test.

Hit 18 flop shots from this spot. Aim at the targets, switching every 3 shots between them until all 18 shots are done.

Move to a spot on the downhill slope, 5 to 20 yards from the hole. Use this spot every time for these shots.

Hit 18 flop shots from the downhill spot. Switch targets every 3 shots until all 18 are done.

Count shots that stop within 3 feet of the marker as successful.

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

Make two piles of 18 balls each: one pile with the ball above your feet on a slope, and another pile with the ball below your feet on a slope. Place both piles 5–40 yards/meters from the hole.

Set up three target zones on the green at different distances. Make sure each zone is marked and separated by about 5 feet (1.5 meters).

Hit 18 shots from the above-feet pile and 18 shots from the below-feet pile, for a total of 36 shots.

From the above-feet pile, hit 6 shots to each of the three zones.

From the below-feet pile, hit 6 shots to each of the three zones.

Count each shot that stops in the correct zone.

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

Make 8 piles of 5 balls each (40 balls total) between 5 and 40 yards from the green.

On the green, use markers to make 4 equal parts inside a 10 ft circle around the hole.

Hit 36 flop shots in total, split into 4 groups of 9 shots for each part of the circle.

Aim 9 shots for the first part, then 9 for the second, the third, and last the fourth part.

Change which pile to hit from each time to get different angles and lies.

Count only shots that stop in the right part as a success.

When finished, write how many you got out of 36 in the app.
