I think that Mark Broadie said that the strokes gained stats indicate that the biggest difference between a tour player and an amateur is from 150 in. I have a 10 handicap and if I hit the green with a wedge I'm pretty happy. Tour pros drop it inside 10-15 feet on the reg. And then make the putt.
I haven't read Broadie's book but have read a fair amount of his stuff online. This may be true for the guys that are shooting 95-100. I would be willing to bet though once a player got relatively decent around the greens(to a 5-8 handicap), that approaches become more important.
