  Play in practice mode; you can take 10 strokes per hole, just mess around on the greens to get a feel for breaks, speed, uphill, downhill, etc. It won't affect your average/stats

  Not a cheap way, but start a game, go as far as 8 holes, or 17.. just don't finish it, throw ur ball everywhere you want and anywhere it could land(not water or weeds, you would curse me). The bad thing about practice mode is you don't get the full range of green speeds, so I cannot practice on slow or standard greens when I have to play on tournament greens. For lower tiers is ok, though.

  Not finishing doesn't really matter - after a while, only your best scores count in your average anyway.

  Well, I know, but why would you post an 89 or a 50 something if you are just practicing, the intention is to learn but till you get there....

  Piz's verbose answer is correct.  ;-)  However, BPB 2, 3 and 4 are good holes to get a lot of putting practice on. Set yourself up there and get on the green. You should get around 24 putts this way on fairly flat, long greens.
