Probably not. I am pretty long and consistent right now. I hit 50% of fairways last season and the fairways I missed, were typically not missed enough to get into any trouble. I can probably count on one hand the number of balls I lost off the tee. I like having the extra distance to get the shorter irons in my hand. Whether that is from the fairway or the rough, doesn't make much difference on the courses I play. The rough just isn't that hard around here.

If I were to play a course that was tree lined with narrow fairways, or a course that has the 6-8" rough, I would probably adjust my game to try and hit more fairways. For now, I will keep bombing away and take my chances on an approach shot with a wedge than lay back and hit 7-iron.
