For short game practice, I play 18 holes (par 36) on the putting green just chipping and putting. One ball . . . chip to tee off and putt it in. And I keep score . . . It's especially fun playing under pressure against someone. I mention this because this practice normalizes situations in an actual round of golf for me. I know this concept is nothing new, but gamifying practice has neutralized my tendency to be too scientific in practice and in play. I'm becoming much more athletic on the course now, and my scores are really showing a vast improvement. Perhaps this will help someone out there break through a scoring drought.
