In answer to the OP, years of practice.
At my old club, on a saturday morning, we would play in 4 balls, in what ever qualifying comp was on. Simultaneously, we had a stableford swindle going between about 20 of us, and also a 4BBB matchplay in your own group. Totally against the rules of golf, but good fun anyway. As a result, I don't find it that difficult.
As there was a qualifying comp every weekend, saturday and sunday, if you didn't do this, you were never really having fun with your mates, just grinding out scores every game. There is a time for this, but not every game.
But then I am also not a very good golfer, and maybe that makes a difference.
The other thing is, you need to attack your putts more anyway, match play or stroke play.
