I'm different from most people because I hate practicing.
I'm with you, hate the driving range or putting greens, but I don't mind chipping for a while.
My putting skills are lacking, but I can save myself a lot by chipping close enough for a "tap in" and save par or bogie.
My favorite practice drill is the "towel game".
We would always put a stick in the ground to mark the "hole" and then lay down a small golf towel right where you would want the ball to land and then roll up to the stick.
Goal #1 chip to practice landing on the towel.
Goal #2 try to get the ball to roll up and stop touching the stick. (or drop in the cup if on a green).
When it comes time to get going, change it up and try to chip and have the balls roll up and stop on the towel.
Then you can just grab the towel with the balls... easy clean up!
