Overview

The Putting Bullseye is a Handy Golf app putting game designed to help you improve distance control on the green. You choose a putting distance, hit nine putts, and score each ball based on how close it finishes to the hole or target.

You can play Putting Bullseye in easy mode or hard mode depending on your skill level. Hard mode uses tighter scoring zones, while easy mode gives you larger target circles.

Using the Handy Golf app makes the drill easier to run because you can select the game, enter your setup, record each putt, confirm your score, and save the session for progress tracking.

What You Need

• The Handy Golf app
• A putter
• Nine golf balls, or three balls used over three rounds
• A tee or marker to mark your starting point
• A hole or target
• Optional: your putter as a measuring guide

Step 1: Open Putting Bullseye in the Handy Golf App

Open the Handy Golf app and start a Putting Bullseye session from the app's practice games area.

Before you begin hitting putts, use the app to choose the game settings for your session. This helps keep your practice organized and makes it easier to compare results over time.

Step 2: Choose Your Putting Distance

Select the distance you want to practice from in the Handy Golf app, then mark that distance on the green.

For example, you can walk off a 20-foot putt and place a tee on the ground to mark your starting position. You can choose any distance, but 15 to 30 feet is a great range for working on speed control.

Try to use the same distance for multiple sessions if you want to compare scores and see improvement in the app.

Step 3: Select the Difficulty Mode

Choose between two difficulty settings in the Handy Golf app:

Easy Mode

Easy mode uses larger scoring zones:

• 0 to 2 feet from the hole
• 2 to 4 feet from the hole
• 4 to 6 feet from the hole
• Outside 6 feet

Hard Mode

Hard mode tightens the target zones:

• 0 to 1 foot from the hole
• 1 to 2 feet from the hole
• 2 to 3 feet from the hole
• Outside 3 feet

Use easy mode if you are newer to the drill or practicing longer putts. Use hard mode when you want a tougher challenge.

Step 4: Hit Your Putts

The goal is to hit nine total putts.

A good way to manage the drill is to hit them in three sets of three. This keeps the green less crowded and makes scoring easier.

1. Hit three putts from your starting marker.
2. Walk to the hole and note where each ball finished.
3. Record the result for each putt in the Handy Golf app.
4. Repeat the process two more times until you have hit nine putts total.

If one ball is blocking another putt, you can move it slightly to the side. Just remember where it originally finished and place it back before scoring.

Step 5: Measure the Putts for Scoring

After each set of putts, measure how far each ball finished from the hole.

You can measure in a few ways:

• Use your putter as a rough measuring tool
• Pace off the distance
• Estimate by eye once you get comfortable

Most putters are close to 3 feet long, so you can use the putter length to help estimate the scoring zones. For hard mode, divide the putter into thirds to estimate 1-foot sections. For easy mode, use larger 2-foot increments.

Step 6: Score in Hard Mode

In hard mode, enter each putt into the Handy Golf app based on these zones:

For example:

• A ball finishing inside 1 foot goes in the first zone.
• A ball finishing between 1 and 2 feet goes in the second zone.
• A ball finishing between 2 and 3 feet goes in the third zone.
• A ball outside 3 feet is scored outside the target.

After scoring your first three balls in the app, repeat the process until all nine putts have been hit and scored. Then confirm your score.

Step 7: Score in Easy Mode

In easy mode, the circles are larger. Enter each putt into the Handy Golf app using these zones:

For example:

• A ball inside 2 feet is in the first zone.
• A ball between 2 and 4 feet is in the second zone.
• A ball between 4 and 6 feet is in the third zone.
• A ball outside 6 feet is outside the scoring target.

Once all nine putts are scored, confirm or save your final result in the Handy Golf app.

Step 8: Save and Review Your Session

After you finish the game, save the Putting Bullseye session in the Handy Golf app. Reviewing your saved sessions can help you spot trends, such as whether you are improving from a specific distance or performing better in easy mode than hard mode.

For the best progress tracking, repeat the game from the same distance before changing the setup. Once your scores improve, try a longer putt or switch to hard mode for a greater challenge.

Practice Tips

• Start in easy mode until you can consistently finish putts inside the larger circles.
• Move to hard mode when you want a more demanding test.
• Use the same distance for multiple Handy Golf app sessions so you can track progress.
• Try the game from different distances to improve overall lag putting.
• Focus on speed control rather than trying to hole every putt.
• Save each session in the app so you can compare results over time.

Key Takeaway

Putting Bullseye in the Handy Golf app helps you build better pace control by rewarding putts that finish close to the hole. Open the game in the app, set your distance, choose easy or hard mode, hit nine putts, enter your scoring zones, and save your result so you can track progress over time.
