Yesterday I went out to practice my putting. I made the first 5 putts, from various locations I tried from 10'. I packed up my stuff and went home. Shortest putting practice session I have had.

A lot of time I use the competition regimen you listed while practicing my chipping, and pitching. I only use one ball, and putt out each chipped, or pitched ball from various distances, and lies. I tend to practice from more bad lies than good ones. The idea is to one putt each chip, or pitch shot for par. 3 touches of the ball (bogey) is not good, 2 (par) is good, and the occasional 1 (birdie) is great At the end of the session I average my shots. I am looking for a number 2.5 or less per each chip, and/or pitch. Another way of looking at this number is my own short game handicap.
