Agree with JRod that it depends on the course. I used to think that I hit the ball a lot further off the tee. GPS measuring has sobered me up on that front a bit!

I try to think my way around the course now. Do I really need to hit driver to get home in two on this par 4? Is it worth the potential slice fest? Also, if it's a long tight par 4 I'll sacrifice and take three on my way in if it means no penalties and a decent par putt. Keep in mind that I said I TRY TO... When I'm swinging good and I stick to this, I've seen some of my best rounds. Off days are still off days though. Nothing helps that.

I definitely think it helps to be long, but accuracy is still premium to me.
