| All this is fine, but let's not forget there is a time that is appropriate and a time that is not appropriate.
If you have a crowded golf course, it would be rude to play a number of shots while people behind you wait. Even if the golf course is so crowded that you would have to wait for your next shot, you on the green and people backed up on the next tee for example, you have an obligation to move through your round even if it means you have to wait on the next tee. It wouldn't right to make someone else stand around in a fairway waiting to hit their shot while you practiced on the green just because people were still on the next tee.
As for the part about not bothering to practice from where you will never be, I've been trying to convince myself not to practice from bunkers for years, but it isn't working yet. When I'm on the practice tee, I do try to find some deeper grass to simulate conditions in the rough though.
