When going through your pre shot routine, do not consider your practice putts to be mechanical, but rather what you are trying to do is develop good rhythm and feel for your upcoming putt.

In professional miniature golf, just as in real golf, time spent in practice – understanding a hole’s natural challenges, speed needed to reach the hole, weather conditions, the putter’s own set-up, using shoulders, not hands to putt, and follow-through are key to getting a one or two-put. Gretchen Smith
I like to take them from behind the ball while looking at the hole to feel the stroke and see the ball rolling into the hole. Never from address or behind the address stance postion. Never think over a put after your pre-putt routine.
