I putt decent, not great but how do you practice putting when all courses could have different greens speed or breaks?

Control what you can control.
If you can consistently putt the ball a certain distance with a certain amount of effort, you can make every putt a straight putt. Spend some time putting before you go off and you'll know what to do when you get out there.
Make 100 putts from 5 feet, 10 feet, 15 feet, etc. as often as possible. You can make the rest of the adjustments once you're playing.

There's your answer. You don't have to be great, but decent putters don't consistently break 80.
What everyone is saying is correct. But I'll add that when I was playing a lot I tracked my shots on the course. Below my score, I had a line each for: Fairway, GIR, # putts, etc. Then if I missed a fairway, I'd add a note for "bunker, OB, etc.". Once you start tracking those wasted shots, you'll quickly recognize a trend for where those shots are being wasted.
Then its a matter of analyzing the data. Maybe it is the "one blow-up hole" that you can avoid by taking a 3w off the tee instead of a driver on a tight, but short, hole. Maybe it really is your putting. Either way you'll find out pretty quickly.
