Steps

- 02Play each lie as a full up-and-down: chip, then putt out.
- 03Count any hole finished in 2 shots or fewer as a success.
- 04A missed up-and-down costs a lap or a set of pushups before moving on.
- 05Log the up-and-down count out of 9 for the session.
Target
Try to beat your best up-and-down count out of 9 from your last session.
