Those good facts are used to determine where you want to aim the ball. Once done, and this is not just for pros its for everyone, Your time taken to create the proper mind to body motion becomes of the utmost importance. If your off by 5 seconds=bad shot, no good mind to body co-ordination.
Sorry to say, very little golf instruction is about how to co-ordinate your body. Are you a left side hitter or a right side hitter. Meaning, does the left side lead the swing or does the right side.
Grain has always confused me, as I look at it I cant tell where the grass is favoring one side or the other. So I default to where the water flows and take that as the direction of the grain.
Three things of major import here:
1. Are you left eye or right eye dominant....controls aim
2. Are you a left side lead swing or a right side lead swing..controls co-ordination
3. Are you a 10-15 second hitter or a 15-20 second hitter.....controls transfer of mind to body
answer those three things and scores will drop in a major way.

Is there water present, and how it may effect the putt. How recently was the green cut, last time they sanded. How many weeds are growing within the line of putt. How many divots one must fix, is the hole cut at an angle, the middle of the downward slope of the green.
Does loud music playing next to the tee or the ongoing conversation from the foursome that drives to the tee before the first in your foursome hits?
All are may be as important as how many seconds it takes to tee off.
