Switch piles when wanted to try different lies and angles.

Count each shot that lands in the target zone as a success.

When done, enter the number of successful shots out of 36 in the app.

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.

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.

Make 4 piles of 9 balls: 2 piles uphill in deep rough, 2 piles downhill in deep rough, all 5 to 20 yards from the hole.

Mark 3 landing zones on the green in a line, each 6 feet apart: Zone A (closest), Zone B (middle), Zone C (farthest).

Hit 36 flop shots: 3 groups of 12 shots.

For first 12 shots, hit from uphill piles aiming for Zone A, switching between the two piles after each shot.

For next 12 shots, hit from uphill piles aiming for Zone B, switch piles after each shot.

For last 12 shots, hit from downhill piles aiming for Zone C, switch piles after each shot.

A shot counts if it lands and stops in the target zone.

Use same ball position every time. Only change aim for zone and slope.

Count how many landed in the target zone out of 36 and enter score in the app.

Put 18 balls in one bucket for shots above your feet, and 18 balls in another bucket for shots below your feet.

On the practice green, set up 3 target zones in a row, about 10 to 15 feet from the hole.

Split the 36 balls into 3 groups of 12 balls.

For the first 12 balls, hit from above feet and aim for Target Zone

For the next 12 balls, hit from below feet and aim for Target Zone

For the last 12 balls, switch between above and below feet every 2 balls and aim for Target Zone

Always keep the ball on the correct slope as needed, only change which target zone you aim at as above.

Count each ball that lands and stays in the correct target zone as a success.

When done, count how many successes out of 36 and enter the score in the app.

Place two piles of 18 balls on a sloped fairway: one pile above feet level, one pile below. Each pile should be 5-20 yards from the hole.

Mark three target zones on the green at different distances (Zone 1 at 5 feet, Zone 2 at 10 feet, Zone 3 at 15 feet).

Hit 18 shots from above and 18 shots from below feet, making 36 flop shots in total.

Split each 18-shot pile into 3 groups of 6 shots.

Aim each group of 6 shots at one zone. First 6 shots at Zone 1, next 6 at Zone 2, last 6 at Zone

Alternate shots between above feet and below feet piles as you go through zones.

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

When done, add up successes. Enter score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Pick two random spots 5-20 yards from the hole and place two piles of balls. Make spots and surfaces random but similar.

Make two circles on the green with string or tees: one circle 6 feet from the hole, one circle 15 feet from the hole.

Hit 36 flop shots: 18 shots at the small circle, 18 shots at the big circle.

At the first pile, hit 9 balls at the small circle, then 9 at the big circle.

At the second pile, again hit 9 at the small circle, then 9 at the big circle.

Count balls that stop inside the small circle as birdie. Count balls in the big circle (but outside small) as par.

Add up all balls that stayed in both circles. Enter score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Set up two lines of 18 balls each, 1 foot apart. The lines are 6 feet apart.

On the green, mark two circles around the hole. The inner circle is 6 feet from the hole. The outer circle is 15 feet from the hole.

From 5 to 20 yards away, hit flop shots. Hit 3 balls from the first line, then 3 from the second. Keep switching until all 36 balls are hit.

The goal is to make balls stop inside the circles. Balls in the inner circle are birdie-level. Balls in the outer circle but outside the inner are par-level.

At the end, count how many balls stopped in the circles and enter the total out of 36 attempts in the app.
