Iron Dispersion
Hit 15 iron shots across three target distances, using dispersion corridors from 10 yd to 30 yd wide depending on difficulty, and map whether each shot finishes in zone, left, or right.

Setup & execution
On the range, choose three iron targets at 125 yd, 150 yd, and 175 yd. Hit 5 shots to each target and record In Zone, Miss Left, or Miss Right. The target corridor is 24 yd wide — 12 yd either side of the target line. Experienced players should treat the session as pattern discovery. Step away between balls, pick a precise target, and record the result honestly before making the next swing.
Goal
Finish 8 or more of 15 shots inside the 24 yd corridor to pass. A one-sided miss pattern is actionable information; a two-sided pattern usually points to setup, face control, or commitment issues.
Tour context
Experienced players (HCP 11.5–18.4) are beginning to convert range contact into on-course GIR chances. Hitting 8/15 shots inside a 24 yd corridor across three approach distances shows the directional control needed to reduce short-sided misses.

Hit 9 shots combining 3 trajectories (low, medium, high) and 3 shapes (draw, straight, fade) to build full shot control.
ApproachThree Targets
Hit five approach shots to each of three alignment-stick targets set at different distances — distances and scoring rings vary by difficulty tier from 50–175 yd. Mark a scoring ring around each stick before you begin and count any ball resting inside the ring as a success. Complete three rounds for 45 approach shots in total.
