On the green, use string or tees to mark two circles around the hole: one with a 6-foot radius (inner), the other with a 15-foot radius (outer).

Use only 36 balls (9 piles of 4) for this test.

Split the 36 shots into two groups of

For the first 18 shots, try to land the ball inside the small circle.

For the next 18 shots, try to land the ball inside the big circle but outside the small circle.

Play bump-and-run shots by hitting from different piles, one after the other, keeping the same setup and order.

Count as a success if the ball stops in the correct circle. If not, it is a miss.

Get 36 golf balls and split into 2 groups of 18 balls each.

Put one group of 18 balls on the uphill slope, close to the green.

Put the second group of 18 balls on the downhill slope, about 5 yards from the green.

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.

Count how many shots landed in the target zones out of 36, and enter the score in the app.
