Stupid 9
Play 9 holes from distances between 3 ft and 30 ft, depending on difficulty. Goal is to shoot even par or better. Start over if the ball finishes more than 2 ft short or 3 ft long.

Setup & execution
Place nine tees in a straight line from 4 ft to 20 ft. Play one ball from each tee, starting at the closest station and moving back. Every station is a par-2 hole. Stay patient on the longer putts: a miss that finishes more than 2 ft short or 3 ft long restarts the drill.
Goal
Farther successful putts earn 2 extra reward points per distinct distance rank. Complete at least 5 of the 9 holes using the original flat outcome values.
Tour context
PGA Tour make rates fall from roughly 75% at 5 ft to about 10-15% near 20 ft. HCP 11.5-26.4 players passing this tier are developing the speed window needed to avoid costly three-putts.
