Par 18 (On-Course Simulation)
Play 9 holes with a par-2 target per hole using only your short game, simulating decision-making pressure on every shot.
Course Management Beginner ~45 min 4 difficulty levelsDifficulty levels
Setup & execution
Select 9 varied greenside positions around a practice green, including rough lies, sidehill slopes, and distances from 10–25 yards. On each 'hole', play 1 chip/pitch and hole out. Par-2 = chip plus 1 putt. Record your total strokes across all 9 holes. This version simulates realistic mid-round scrambling decisions.
Goal
Complete 9 holes in 21 strokes or fewer (3-over par) to pass. Consistent up-and-downs (chip + 1 putt) are the key.
Tour context
PGA Tour scramble percentage averages ~60% from varied greenside positions. Mid-handicap amateurs average ~25–30%. Scoring 21 over 9 holes (averaging 2.3 strokes per hole) is a genuine milestone that translates to 3–4 saved strokes per round on course.

Course ManagementFairway Decision Ladder
Compare your driver against a safer tee club across wide, standard and narrow fairway corridors — from 15 to 50 yd depending on difficulty. Hit five shots with each club at every width, then see which club finds more fairways and learn when the driver's extra distance is worth the added dispersion.
Course ManagementNegative Self-Talk Counter
Track every moment of negative self-talk during a round. The goal is to recognise unhelpful thoughts early, reset quickly and gradually reduce their frequency.
Course ManagementDecision Quality Score
Rate important decisions as green, yellow or red based on target selection, club choice and risk. Judge the quality of the decision, not the outcome of the shot.
