Using your fairway-finder tee shot, hit 10 drives with the sole focus of trying to hit the fairway.
Your fairway-finder swing could be teeing the ball lower, gripping down on the club or shortening your backswing.
Distance doesn't matter here, just accuracy.

You earn one point for every ball that finishes within the designated fairway, regardless of distance.

Any ball that misses the fairway gets zero points, regardless of whether you miss by one yard or 50 yards.
