I know I do a lot. I get stupidly aggressive. Today, I was at a distance that was a long PW for me, but the pin was tucked closely behind a bunker, and I took the PW instead of the 9 iron, trying to stick the ball on the pin. Guess where the ball went- yep, bunker. Did pretty much the same thing on a par 3, ended up with a completely buried ball, and ended up with a double bogey.

It is a very valid point, but in some ways, it might be skewed. If I am chipping up a slope, I would rather end up a couple of feet short than go long to make the putt easier. But for the most part, yes, it is a valid point.
