Taking it in a different direction:
You have to play a round of golf with someone else's clubs, but you get to keep one of your own. Which club do you keep?

Personally I'd keep my 56* wedge. I must use it at least 8 times a round. It's just too important to leave yourself easy putts, ones that you're going to make even with a different putter.

Well pick one club that you could take out of your bag and still make it ok....i would got with a wood driver 3 wood or 5 wood or any long iron....now think of a club that you could not go without...putter / lob wedge comes to mind..even then i would take a putter over a lob wedge anyday ...that lob wedge may save me a few times but the putter may save me alot...plus you can chip with a sand wedge and not that big a diff so putter WINS

I think the ball is most important without it what are the clubs good for.... hitting grass

What, no Driver choice.

Ben Hogan always said it was the Driver. He felt that you can't play your best golf if you are putting for bogeys.

Hmm, tough thread..I'd say it's atie between the wedge, and the putter. Without the wedge, one could not be on the green to putt. You could also putt with the wedge, but accuracy would be a problem at longer distances. The putter is still beter for putting. I use my 56*, and my putter about the same per round.. so honestly, I'd say it's a tie between the wedge and putter.

i'm torn. obviously the putter is the most important because if you can't consistantly 2 putt, you're screwed. but i'm to a point where i no more than 2 put 90% of the time. so for me the Driver is a very important club, because if i can get myself in good position off the tee, i know from there i can hit a wedge or high iron to the green, then i'm confident i'll do no more than 2 putt and get par.
If i struggle off the tee, then i'm scrambling with a low iron to recover position, then scrambling to save bogey.
if i hit a good drive, then i've almost assured myself that i'm going to do no worse than bogey. if my tee shot stinks, then i've brought double or worse into play.

I 2nd the motion on 300yards comment.

imho, I chosed my wedge & putter.

I think the approach shot is very important, whether im in the bunker or the fairway, whats important is for the ball to stop after 1 bounce, and let my putter do the shot.

I have seen some players in my club who can't drive the driver, so he uses his long iron and he still plays a mean Golf game.
and his short game is superb.

His ball striking is superb that what he does everyday is too play "bet money" with anyone else who is willing to hit against him, for example, shooting the most balls in the basket in 10 iron shots.

Or just by hitting the balls on the correct distance. for example, if he say he will hit 40yards, he will strike the ball using his SW and hit the ball on the 40yard marker. The person who couldnt hit the ball, loses money.

They bet on this game hehe. Its fun too watch.
