I think I even read after you hole out you can roll a putt on the green you just finished. However, you don't see pros do it due to principle I'd assume.
I think Amatuers are allowed to do that, but pros can't.

7-2. During Round
A player must not make a practice stroke during play of a hole.
Between the play of two holes a player must not make a practice stroke, except that he may practice putting or chipping on or near:
a. the putting green of the hole last played,
b. any practice putting green, or
c. the teeing ground of the next hole to be played in the round, provided a practice stroke is not made from a hazard and does not unduly delay play (Rule 6-7).
Strokes made in continuing the play of a hole, the result of which has been decided, are not practice strokes.
Exception: When play has been suspended by the Committee, a player may, prior to resumption of play, practice (a) as provided in this Rule, (b) anywhere other than on the competition course and (c) as otherwise permitted by the Committee.

Can't believe he would have the nerve to do that!! What a baby. He needs to learn how to control his temper and act like a pro and respect the game.

I think its part of the discussion, and illustrative of the ridiculous double standard people have for Woods.

No where in that rule though does it mention a practice shot specifically. A practice stroke =/= a practice shot. Shot is with the ball.

In the rules of golf, "stroke" means hitting or intending to hit. So it's basically what you're referring to as a shot.
