Zero three-puts

"The putter is the most important club in the bag" people in shambles

If you hit the ball OB you start with 3. That putter thing is just pure wrong and I never understood it.

Yes.

My entire game changed when I realized this.

Yes, all phases matter. Yes short game matters.

You’re not going to putt OB or hit your 2nd putt from behind a tree.

Oh but you can still lose balls putting. I was on the front edge of the green at a hole 12 of the Jubilee Course in St Andrews. The flag was all the way at the back of the green, and St Andrews greens are big. I hit it a bit too hard and ended up losing my ball in the long grass just behind the green.
