"I don't get how if you are a mediocre ball striker and a hell of a putter you get credit for being scrappy or a scrambler or a great putter."

Kind of makes sense to me that if you are a hell of a putter you get credit for being a great putter -- and your save/scramble stats are likely to show it.

"Some people go so far as to say putting should be eliminated or whatevr."

I've never heard that, actually.
