| I will play it safe off the tee once in a while, but if I do opt for driver (90% of the time) there's no holding back. I will try to take one side of the hole out of play. Water left and a few trees right. Take the water out of play, and take the DAMN water out of play. There's nothing worse than trying to play safe and getting wet anyways.
I don't mind the rough. It's my home. I'm comfortable there. I've got a great punch shot from being under trees all the time. I've got a great flop shot from being behind trees all the time. That's why I can score as well as I do with the swing that I have.
As for laying up, I'm no wuss, but I'm not stupid. If I have 320 yards to the green on a long par 5, I probably won't try to smoke a 3 wood 240. I wouldn't make it to the green anyways, and I've got a better chance of keeping it in play with a 200 yard 4 iron.
I like to fire at pins. I can work the ball if I really need to, but I'm much more comfortable playing my 5 yard draw if at all possible. I've got good distance control with my irons, and my chipping is good enough that I can get up and down most of the time even if I'm just off the green.
I'll ram in any putt shorter than 12 feet, but I try to die in the longer ones.
