| Things to consider... it's only the 5th hole - the round is early... Do you take a chance now and hope to get a stroke back later?
The water is on the near side, but the OB is past the rough on the far side of the fairway... Consider going left to right... (It's easier to fade than hook for a greater majority of people...)
At only 150 yards away, you should be able to get pretty far down the fairway without flirting with the OB and if you don't fade it enough to approach the green, the rough on the other side should stop the ball as long as you hit a roller...
OR - hit that 30-40 yard shot into a position on the fairway, leaving yourself a distance you can hit a full wedge from...
================================
OK - Here's one I always try to get my most frequent playing partner to consider...
You have a 50 yard approach to the green from the fairway. The pin is cut tight in the front of the green. Do you try to land the ball on the front of the green? Do you try to hit a bump and run shot you are unpracticed at?
OR - DO YOU HIT THE BALL TO THE FREAKIN' MIDDLE OF THE GREEN SO YOU'RE PUTTING INSTEAD OF CHIPPING AGAIN!!!!! ????????
Oh gee... sorry... I gave it away...
