Practice....
Playing in qualifying round this weekend. FC missed a putt and then tapped in. When hole was over we saw a long wait on next tee. He dropped a ball and was going to attempt the putt again. I told him that he could not, that he could only do that in match play. Checked out the rules book after the round, and now not so sure. Is the no practice between holes (putting/chipping on previous green) only enacted by local rule?

I was under the assumption that putting after you have holed out was only allowed in a match play...

I also assumed so, however....
Rule 7 - Practice
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 practise 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, practise (a) as provided in this Rule, (b) anywhere other than on the competition course and (c) as otherwise permitted by the Committee.

What event was the qualifying round for?
When applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

Interesting. Why don't we see more Pros on the PGA tour take the time after they have holed out to practice more putts? You certainly see it during the match play events, but not stroke play events.

See the standard Conditions of the Competition for the OVGA, Section A, Part 7.

I understand that mentality. However, just because there are recommended local Rules in the Appendix of the Rule book doesn't mean that they are in effect anywhere. The Committee in charge of the competition has the responsibility to implement which of the recommended local Rules they need for their specific competition.
If a player assumes a local Rule is in place and proceeds under that assumption, there are significant potential consequences (as Dustin Johnson discovered).
