Maximize Short Irons In Regulation

Set up 9 targets around the flag on the green using cones, buckets, or markers. Space them evenly around the flag, about 5% of the total distance from your hitting spot to the flag.

Prepare 36 balls. Hit 4 shots at each target – 2 curving left-to-right and 2 curving right-to-left.

Use your 8- and 9-irons for all shots. Keep your setup and ball position the same.

Start at any target and hit 2 left-to-right and 2 right-to-left shots, trying to land the ball between the two markers at that target.

Move to the next target and repeat until all 9 targets have 4 shots.

Count each ball that stops between the two markers at a target as a success.

Pick one flag/target suitable for short irons (8 or 9).

Use existing objects around you to creatively imagine hazards and boundaries (such as water, sand traps, out-of-bounds, or edges of the green) around that target.

Hit 36 shots with the same setup, aiming all balls at this one target.

Focus on landing the ball in the imagined target area and minimizing large misses.

Count how many shots land and stay in the correct target zone.

Add up the number of successful shots and enter your total out of 36 attempts.

Pick one flag or target for short irons (9 or 8 iron) on the driving range.

Mark a 4-yard circle (birdie zone) and a 7-yard circle (par zone) around the flag with cones or markers.

Hit 36 shots using only a 9 or 8 iron.

For 12 shots, aim for the inner 4-yard zone. For 12 shots, aim for the outer 7-yard zone but outside the inner circle. For 12 shots, aim anywhere in both zones trying to be consistent.

Use the same ball setup each shot. Only change the zone you’re aiming for.

Count a shot as successful if it lands and stays in the correct zone for that set.
