Think about it this way...

Say you are a semi ok ball striker...you hit 6/18 greens (all of which you 2 putt) and the other 12 you are within 30m off for GIR shots.

Of those 12, if you get up and down 25% of the time you shoot 9 over, UD = 50% you shoot 6 over, UD = 75% you shoot 3 over.

There is a direct correlation between short game and scoring, much more so than for the long game. There is no difference on the score card between:

drove it up the middle, 7 iron on, 2 putts = 4.

Drove it left, punched out to 60m short of the green, wedge to 5 feet, holed it = 4.
