Open up and let it fly: alignment for flop shots

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.

Make 2 target areas on the green: one uphill, one downhill, about 6 feet apart.

Use markers to show the edges of each target area.

Choose a spot 20 yards from the hole and set up golf balls for uphill shots.

Hit 18 flop shots, trying to land each one in the uphill area. Try to keep each ball inside the zone.

Move to the downhill area, same distance from the hole.

Hit 18 flop shots, trying to land each one in the downhill area.

Keep all shots from the same spot on each slope. Do not move the ball for each shot.

Count shots that stop inside the right target area.

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

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.

Count shots that stop within 3 feet of the marker as successful.

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

Pick a spot 5 to 20 yards from the hole near the green to practice flop shots.

Place 36 balls in two lines so they cross in the middle. Each line has 18 balls, 1 foot apart.

Use string or tees to mark 4 equal zones inside a 10-foot circle around the hole.

Split the 36 balls into 4 groups of 9 balls. Each group aims for a different zone.

From the first line, hit 9 balls to the first zone.

From the second line, hit 9 balls to the second zone.

Go back to the first line and hit 9 balls to the third zone.

From the second line, hit 9 balls to the fourth zone. Count the number of balls that land in the right zone each time. After all shots, enter your total number of successes out of 36 in the app.

Split 36 balls into two groups of

Make two target zones on the green, each about 5 feet wide: Zone A (left), Zone B (right).

For the first 18 balls, hit from uphill rough and try to land in Zone A.

For the next 18 balls, hit from downhill rough and try to land in Zone B.

All shots should be from the same spot in deep rough, 10 to 15 yards from the green.

Count balls that land and stay in the correct zone.

After 36 shots, enter the number of successes (out of 36) in the app.

Put two target zones on the green, 6 feet apart. Call them Zone A and Zone B.

Set up in deep rough, 15 to 40 yards from the green.

Hit 36 flop shots: 18 at Zone A, 18 at Zone B.

Hit 3 shots at Zone A, then 3 shots at Zone B. Repeat until all shots are done.
