The reason the hole is there is so you can putt the ball into it. When me and my wife play we always putt out - sometimes to the dismay of our fellow golfers. We hate it when they kick the ball to us when we are close. After the first time we tell them that we putt out on every hole.

Besides, if you pick up, you will be waiting on the next hole anyway.
