The goal of the game is to get the ball into the hole in as few strokes as possible. I am not a guy that hits a ton of greens. At my peak of +4 hdcp I was just above 60% GIR. Putting made me a good golfer. When I missed, I knew I was going to make my putts to save a round. I'm below 50% GIR and have no time to beat balls to get my iron game crisper. So putting is how I judge success.
Thanks, that helps to clarify your position. It ultimately comes down to understanding your game. For my putts on missed greens is directly related to poor pitch/chip shots and not poor putting.
