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.

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.

Gather 36 balls and split them into 2 groups of

Stand on a slope where the ball is above your feet for the first 18 shots.

Choose one target on the green to aim at.

Hit 18 bump-and-run shots, trying to get close to the target from this lie.

Move to a slope where the ball is below your feet for the next 18 shots.

Hit 18 bump-and-run shots at the same target from this lie.

Count how many balls stop close to the pin. Record that number as your score out of 36 in the app.

Arrange 40 balls into 10 piles of 4 balls each. Place the piles in two parallel lines, 5 to 10 yards apart, with each pile in a line about 2 yards apart.

On the green, mark two target zones: an inner circle with a 6-foot radius and an outer circle with a 15-foot radius.

Hit 36 shots: 18 to the inner circle, 18 to the outer circle.

Hit shots from any pile, switch between piles and lines.

Count a shot as a success if it stops in the target zone.

After 36 shots, add up successful shots and enter 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.
