I frequently practice chipping or sand shots onto the chipping green. However, I also try to putt out after I have hit my 2-3 shots. Sometimes, I see people get irritated when I am putting, though, so I only do it if no one is around.

My goal is to one putt from my shot to get up and down in 2, versus 3 or 4, to lower my handicap. Yesterday, I was glad that I only had 1 3-putt.

Is it a faux paus to putt on the chipping green?

I think it really depends on what type of practice green it is. Some courses have a putting green you can chip on. Others have a separate green just for chipping and sand shots. I could see where some might get irritated with you putting. If someone is practicing their chipping they probably don't want someone on the that green unless you are just clearing off some balls. It depends on the size of it also. If it is really big, then just try and stay on one end out of the way, if it isn't I would say hold off on the putting out until you are alone so other people can practice.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

I'd say it is a faux paus. Where I go it's clearly marked "chipping only".

I went out today to a place that had a putting and chipping green. Putting green was signed "putting only", the chipping green had no signage at all. I was the only one there the whole time so I chipped onto the chipping green and then putted out. I wouldn't have done that had others been using it however, though I much prefer being able to do that rather then separating the two activities.

If your hogging the area then it is wrong. I do not want someone on there because I could hit them!

Usually you don't chip at the same hole someone else is aiming for anyway, so why should it bother them? As long as you're not getting between them and the hold they're aiming at then there should be no problem. My course doesn't have separate chipping and putting greens so it's never a problem because people chip and putt on the same green all the time, but I still don't see why people should get upset as long as you're not in their way.

I like your idea of practice. Chip it up and putt it in. Out of the sand to the green, try to get it up and down. Good way to practice. But do it when you are the only one there. Pick off peak times if you do this very often. Others will appreciate it.

If I'm working on my game, I'll play "up & down" but always on the putting green and usually when it's not crowded. Typically, the putting green at the pitching/bunker area sucks anyway so putting out there doesn't serve any purpose. YMMV.

      Day 129: 5/4/24 Stack training but could not certify my warmup speed. Dealing with a pulled neck muscle. Chips and pitches at a local course for about 15 minutes.

      At What Distance do Your Pull Our Your Range Finder?

      By mchepp ·

      Typically less than 50. I find this can be affected by the "CART" signs on a given course. I don't like taking my rangefinder out of the cart and carrying it around to the green. I am very fearful I will leave it somewhere.

      Best Shot of the Week

      First ever holed out greenside bunker shot! It's crazy it took this long to finally get one during a round, but the cold streak is officially over. Hole 6 on the Palmer Course at PGAN. I hit my driver like 225 into a really stiff wind, then worm burned a hybrid into the bunker. I was about I dunno, 40-45 feet away. Birdie! Let's go! The red Xs the approximate location of each shot.  Really fun!!

      Day 23: Rained all day, so no ball hitting. Worked indoors on top of the backswing feel, and also putted around the living room working on bead.

      Played Four Oaks in Dracut today going back to the 2 man scramble match play format. My brother and I shot a team 81 winning 3 and 2. Had so many good shots today using a more centered turn. Seems to have really iginited my golf game. We'll see if I can keep it going.
