Pressure Chain
Hole a chain of short putts in a row from one fixed distance between 2 ft and 6 ft, depending on difficulty. One miss and the chain restarts from zero.

Setup & execution
Set one tee 3 ft from the hole. Every putt is from that same spot, on that same line. You get 36 balls. Hole as many in a row as you can — one miss and the chain restarts from zero, automatically. Your score is the longest chain you reach, and a chain of 8 passes. A flawless run is all 12 in a row.
Goal
Build a chain of 8 within your 36 balls — that is the pass. Your score is the longest chain you reach, so a miss costs you the run you are on, never the session.
Tour context
Tour make rates from 3 ft run around 95%. Even at that rate a flawless 12-putt chain comes off only a little over half the time, which is what makes the last three putts feel different from the first three.
