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.

Put 2 rows of 20 golf balls each on flat grass near the green, 5 yards apart.

Make sure both rows are between 5 and 30 yards from the hole, and keep all balls on the fairway, not on the green.

Split the 36 shots into 3 groups of

First 12 shots, try to land the ball within 5 feet left of the hole.

Next 12 shots, try to land the ball within 5 feet right of the hole.

Last 12 shots, aim to land the ball in a 5-foot circle around the hole.

Hit every third ball from each row: start with one row (balls 1, 4, 7, etc.), then switch to the other row, and keep going until all 36 shots are done.

Count each ball that stops in the right target area as a success for that group.

When all 36 tries are finished, add the successful shots and enter your score in the app, out of 36.

Put the ball in the sloped rough, 5 to 30 yards from the hole, with the ball above your feet.

Place three targets evenly spaced left, center, and right of the hole, all about the same distance from your ball.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots: 18 with the ball above your feet and 18 with the ball below your feet.

For each lie, split the 18 shots into 3 groups of 6, one group for each target.

With the ball above your feet, hit 6 shots to the left target, 6 to center, and 6 to right, in any order.

Move the ball below your feet and repeat: 6 shots to left, 6 to center, 6 to right.

Count each shot that stops inside the target area as a success.

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

Place a bucket of balls next to the green with 2 straight lines of 20 balls arranged perpendicular to each other.

Space the lines 5 to 10 yards/meters apart, with each ball about 1 foot (30 cm) apart in each line.

Mark two circles on the green: an inner circle with a 6-foot (2 m) radius and an outer circle with a 15-foot (5 m) radius around the hole.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots in 2 sets of 18 shots, switching between the two lines.

Hit 3 to 5 shots from one line, then switch to the other line, until all 36 balls are played.

Try to land balls in the circles: inside the inner circle is best, inside the outer circle is okay.

Count how many balls stopped inside the outer circle (including the inner circle), and enter your score in the app out of 36 attempts.

Set up 36 balls in 9 piles of 4 balls each, in lines 5 to 10 yards apart next to the green.

Mark 9 stop zones on the green with buckets, string, or tees, in a line or grid.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots, 4 shots to each stop zone.

Keep piles in place and take turns hitting from different piles to each stop zone in order.

Count a success each time the ball stops in the right zone.

When all 36 shots are done, add up successful shots and enter the score in the app out of 36 attempts.

Put 36 golf balls into 2 piles of 18 balls each. One pile goes next to the edge of the green, and the other pile goes 5 yards/meters from the edge.

Mark 3 target zones on the green in a line. Each zone is about 4 feet wide, and the zones are 4 feet apart.

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots total. Aim 12 shots for each target zone, one zone at a time.

Start with the pile closest to the green. Hit 12 shots at Zone 1, then 6 shots at Zone

Go to the pile 5 yards/meters away. Hit 6 more shots at Zone 2, then 12 shots at Zone

Count each ball that lands and stops inside the correct zone as a success.

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

Place 36 balls into 6 groups of 6 balls.

Mark 3 target pins on the green, 6 feet apart in a line or arc.

From above feet, hit 18 shots, 6 at each pin in order.

From below feet, hit 18 shots, 6 at each pin in order.

Keep the same ball setup and lie each time. Only change slope.

Count each ball that stops within 3 feet of the target pin as a success.

After 36 shots, add up successes out of 36 and enter score in the app.

Put two rows of 18 balls each on grass near the green. Keep the rows 5 yards apart.

Put both rows about 10 yards from the hole.

Make three target zones on the green: Left, Center, and Right. Each is about 4 feet wide.

There will be 36 bump-and-run shots: 12 for each zone.

From the first row, hit every third ball to the Left zone (12 shots).

From the second row, hit every third ball to the Center zone (12 shots).

Go back to the first row. Hit every third ball to the Right zone (12 shots).

Count the shots that stop inside the target zone.

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

Make two piles of 18 balls each, one on an uphill slope, one on a downhill slope, both close to the green.

Mark three target zones on the green, each 4 feet wide and 6 feet apart. Label as Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone

Hit 36 bump-and-run shots, 18 from uphill, 18 from downhill.

Split each group of 18 shots into three sets of

Try to land 6 balls in Zone 1, 6 in Zone 2, 6 in Zone 3, for each slope.

From the uphill pile, hit 6 shots at Zone 1, then 6 at Zone 2, then 6 at Zone

From the downhill pile, do the same: 6 shots at Zone 1, 6 at Zone 2, 6 at Zone

A shot counts if the ball stops inside the target zone.
