Short Game
Pitch | Perpendicular Piles | 3 Landing Zones
35 min
Up to 5 players compete to stop a pitch shot inside the landing zone(s). The player with the most points at the end wins the challenge. One bucket of balls per player is needed.
- How to practice? Make 2 perpendicular lines of 5 piles of balls (10 piles, half a bucket per pile); lines are [5-10 y/m apart], and piles are [3 y/m apart]. Place the piles on any type of grass (same grass or mix), anywhere between 30 y/m and 60 y/m from the hole (not the green). On the green, use alignment sticks, clubs, or string lines to form 3 landing zones [6 ft | 2 m] apart. Players randomly select a pile to start from and randomly select the landing zone to land a pitch shot to. Each player hits one ball to the same zone and each ball that lands in the zone wins a point. The leading player randomly selects the next pile of balls to jump to and a different landing zone to hit to, until all balls are covered. The player with the most points at the end of all shots wins the challenge.
Note* occasionally clear the balls from the green.
