Master the art of touch: no more long comeback putts

Set up 10 piles of balls in two crossed lines. Each line has 5 piles, 3 yards/meters apart.

Put the piles 1 to 10 yards/meters from the green and 5 to 30 yards/meters from the hole, on the same type of grass.

Mark 3 target zones on or near the green, spaced far apart.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots: 12 for each target zone.

Pick any pile and hit 12 balls, trying to land and stop the ball in the first target zone.

Hit 12 shots at the second target zone, then 12 at the third.

Keep the same ball setup for every shot. Don’t change ball position or lie in the pile.

Place two lines of 18 balls each near the green. Balls are 1 foot apart. Lines are 5 to 10 yards apart.

On the green, make a circle around the hole (6 feet radius) and divide it into 4 equal quadrants with string or markers.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots total, 9 shots at each quadrant.

For each set of 9 shots, aim to stop the ball inside one chosen quadrant.

Hit 4 or 5 shots in a row from one line, then switch to the other line and finish the 9 shots for that quadrant.

After 9 shots to one quadrant, move to the next quadrant and repeat the routine until all 4 quadrants have been used.

Count each ball that stops in the right quadrant as a success.

After all 36 shots, add up successful shots in the intended quadrants 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.
