On the green, set up 3 target zones in a line, about 6 feet apart.

From the uphill pile, hit 6 shots at each target zone (first at Zone 1, then Zone 2, then Zone 3).

From the downhill pile, hit 6 shots at each zone in the same order.

Ball counts as a success if it stays in the chosen target zone.
