I voted for under 15' b/c that's just being honest. I can get closer a lot of the time and I can be further some of the time. I don't get intimidated by this distance at all, and I would be licking my chops if it were my 2nd shot on a par 4 or my 3rd on a par 5. However, sometimes that's what puts me in that > 15'

I'm in this boat of thinking. It's a lot easier to hit a green from 40yds out than it is from 100yds out. The bigger concern is what's around the green that could be a problem. Is there a hazard or wide open in front? What's behind the green? How big of a hazard do I have in front of me, and how much room between it and the pin? Thinking like that has made a significant difference to me.
