So what kind of player are you? Are you the kind of player that likes to go for broke off the tee and give yourself a shorter distance into the green, which is usually from the rough, or do you like to be safe and try to put one in the fairway giving yourself a longer shot in?

To be honest, of late I have been testing the water by hitting 3 woods from the tee instead of drivers. I am a little off my game at the moment and anything slightly off is transfered into my drives it seems. I have changed so that I now prefer to 1) be able to find my ball from the tee, and 2) have a decent lie so that I can actually make a decent approach shot.

Do you have a great scrambling game or a great short game? Are you short off the tee, but good with long irons or fairway woods?

I am generally a longer hitter of the ball, consequently I never really bothered with my short game. Big mistake! Now it bites me in the ass, however it is something I am working on this year - hopefully by next year my short game will be adequate. Having said that, I have always been strong from greenside bunkers

Do you always fire at pins or do you play to the middle of the green? Can you work the ball both ways to give yourself the best path to the flag and the best miss, or are you a one shot wonder type of player?

I can work the ball both ways, however I find it harder to create a draw. This comes down to some old bad habbits in my swing - lessons get me back on track. I tend to think about my score before I fire at the pin or not. As a 14 handicapper I am quite content by knocking the ball onto the green in regulation then 2 putting. There are some holes that are made for attacking the pin, its knowing which ones are not that can help your score

Do you ram those 6 footers into the back of the cup, or do you coax them in and let them die?

I try to get the pace so that if I do miss the ball runs 12 - 16 inches past the hole, thats my optimum pace.
