Turn Tough Lies into Easy Pars

Make 10 piles of 4 balls (40 balls) in two lines, crossing each other near the green, 1 to 10 yards from the green and 5 to 30 yards from the hole. Keep piles 2 yards apart, lines 5 to 10 yards apart.

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.

Count how many balls finished where they should in both circles. Enter your score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Set up two lines of balls next to the green on a slope. Each line has 18 balls, 5 yards apart, between 5 and 30 yards from the hole.

One line has balls above foot level, the other line has balls below foot level.

There are two groups: 18 shots from balls above feet, and 18 shots from balls below feet.

For each group, hit every third ball in the line until you hit all

Aim each shot to land and stop in a target zone on the green, 5 to 10 yards from the hole.

First, hit all 18 balls from above feet, then all 18 from below feet.

Count each ball that stops in the target zone as a success.

Add all successful shots out of 36 and enter your score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Place two rows of 18 balls each next to the green. Space the rows 5 to 10 yards apart. Balls in each row are 1 foot apart.

On the green, use strings or tees to mark 4 equal quadrants in a 6-foot circle.

Hit 36 bump-n-run shots, aiming 9 shots at each quadrant.

Hit 3 shots from the first row at Quadrant

Switch to the second row and hit 3 shots at Quadrant

Keep switching rows every 3 shots. Next aim at Quadrant 3 from the first row, then Quadrant 4 from the second row, until each quadrant has 9 shots.

Count each shot that stops inside the correct quadrant as a success.

Add up total successes and enter your score in the app, out of 36 attempts.

Put 36 balls into 9 groups of 4 balls each around the green, spaced 1–10 yards from the edge and 5–30 yards from the hole.

Use string, tees, or markers to make 9 stop zones on the green, spread out as different landing spots.

Hit 4 bump-and-run shots at each stop zone, for a total of 36 shots.

Start at any group, aim at the first stop zone, hit 4 shots, then move to the next zone; repeat until all zones have been used.

Count each ball that stops inside the target zone as a success.

Add up the number of successful shots out of 36 and enter the score in the app.

Make two piles of 18 golf balls at the edge of the green: one pile for above the feet, one for below the feet.

Mark three landing zones on the green, each 4 feet wide and 5 feet apart in a straight line.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots: 18 from above feet, 18 from below feet.

For each lie (above and below feet), hit 6 shots to each landing zone (6 per zone × 3 zones = 18 shots per lie).

Keep the same ball setup and distance for all shots. Only change where you are aiming.

Count any shot that lands and stops in the correct zone as a success.

After 36 shots, record the number of successful shots out of 36 attempts in the app.

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.
