Distance off the tee can be a huge advantage. I would much rather be trying to hit my 52* into a green vs my 7 iron.

In most cases, the shorter the club you hit, the more accurate you are. A lot of my playing partners hit darn near every fairway with their drives, but are left with hybrids and long irons into the greens.

I also have no problem playing from the first or second cut from 150 and in. The only time I bag the driver for my fairway finder is when I'm going to drive into a fairway hazard (creek, pond, etc...) or the fairway is extremely narrow and has a lot of OB.

Look at the pros, they are lucky to hit 60% of their fairways. I'm sure they are usually fine with the added distance vs teeing off with a 4 iron and still being 200+ out on every PAR 4.

In short, my game is best when I am hitting a wedge or pitching into a green. Even if it is slightly off the fairway.
