Pick a flag/target suitable for short irons (9,8). Create nine targets around the flag at [5% of the total distance to the flag] using cones or buckets (or use imagination). Hit 5 balls to each randomly selected target (one bucket of ~50 balls) using short irons only. Hit 2-3 balls left-to-right and 2-3 balls right-to-left to the same target. Switch between short irons throughout the exercise. Count total number of successful shots. Successful shot is between the first two neighbouring cones.

‍

Pick a flag/target suitable for mid irons (7,6,5). Create boundaries of a green around the flag at [5% of the total distance to the flag] using cones or buckets (or use imagination). Use 50 balls to simulate five rounds on the course. Start with 6 GIR, then 8,10,12 and finally 14 GIR’s (Green in Regulations) opportunities – in a given order. Work on any ball flight. Switch between mid irons throughout the exercise. Count total number of greens hit.

‍

Approach #1 – in a row (harder). Pick a flag/target suitable for woods (Hy,5W,3W). Hit one bucket of ~50 balls using woods only. To complete the challenge, hit 5 different shots in a row to the same flag: straight, draw, fade, pull-fade, push-draw. Switch between woods throughout the exercise. Count total number of successful shots.

Approach #2 – until successful (easier). Pick a flag/target suitable for woods (Hy,5W,3W). Hit one bucket of ~50 balls using woods only. Goal is to keep hitting one type of shot until successful (straight, draw, fade, pull-fade, push-draw) then hit a different type of shot to the same flag. Switch between woods throughout the exercise. Count how many times it takes to hit a successful shot.

‍

Pick a flag/target suitable for long irons (4,3,2). Create quadrants around the flag using four cones or buckets (or use imagination) – position cones at [5% of the total distance to the flag]. Hit 12 balls to each quadrant (one bucket of ~50 balls) using long irons only. Work on any ball flight. Randomly switch between quadrants. Switch between long irons throughout the exercise. Count total number of successful shots.

‍

Pick a flag/target suitable for short irons (9,8). Use imagination and existing objects to visualize a hole with self-set obstacles and boundaries (i.e. use existing objects on and off the driving range (trees, roads, clouds, powerlines, etc.) to imagine water hazard, sand trap, out-of-bounds, edge of the green, etc. – be creative). Hit one bucket of ~50 balls to different flags. Switch between short irons throughout the exercise.

‍

Pick a flag/target suitable for driver. Hit 25 various left-to-right ball flights and 25 various right-to-left ball flights (one bucket of ~50 balls) using driver only. Work only on producing a left-to-right and right-to-left shot.

‍

Pick a flag/target suitable for short irons (9,8). Hit one bucket of ~50 balls using short irons only – focusing solely on backswing. Work on at most two backswing thoughts or tasks to produce any displayed ball flight. Switch between short irons throughout the exercise.

‍

Pick a flag/target suitable for wedges (LW, SW, GW and/or PW). Hit one bucket of ~50 balls using wedges only – focusing solely on ‘impact and follow through’. Work on at most two ‘impact and follow through’ thoughts or tasks to produce any displayed ball flight. Switch between wedges throughout the exercise.

‍

As displayed, create 5 target cones [10 y/m apart] to test for distance and three corridors [12 y/m apart] to test for dispersion, anywhere from [220 to 300 y/m]. Hit 10 balls to each target cone (one bucket of ~50 balls). Test various types of shots. Randomly switch between target cones and between woods. Keep count of the differences in distance and dispersion for each target cone and each club. Draw conclusions about strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and tendencies, at the end of the discovery session.

‍

As displayed, create 5 target cones [10 y/m apart] to test for distance and three corridors [8 y/m apart] to test for dispersion, anywhere from [140 to 210 y/m]. Hit 10 balls to each target cone (one bucket of ~50 balls). Test various types of shots. Randomly switch between target cones and between irons. Keep count of the differences in distance and dispersion for each target cone and each club. Draw conclusions about strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and tendencies, at the end of the discovery session.

Pick a flag/target suitable for woods (Hy,5W,3W). Use imagination and existing objects to visualize a hole with self-set obstacles and boundaries (i.e. use existing objects on and off the driving range (trees, roads, clouds, powerlines, etc.) to imagine water hazard, sand trap, out-of-bounds, edge of the green, etc. – be creative). Hit one bucket of ~50 balls to different flags. Switch between woods throughout the exercise.

‍

Pick a flag/target suitable for woods (Hy,5W,3W). Hit one bucket of ~50 balls using woods only – focusing solely on takeaway. Work on at most two takeaway thoughts or tasks to produce any displayed ball flight. Switch between woods throughout the exercise.
