My opinion is that the best thing is to stop trying to hit greens in regulation at that point. Try to hit greens in YOUR regulation which on a par 4 would be 4 shots, not 2. Then two putts which would give you double bogey golf. Then once you are doing that, try to hit par 4 greens in 3 half the time (1 over regulation). If you are like a lot of people I know, putting the driver away until you get better with it is probably the best thing to do to help you do this. Try to hit shots that keep you out of trouble but still get you some distance, not swing for the fences every time.

(I should probably take my own advice on the last sentence!)
