Fairway's in Regulation is a nice stat, but unless the Greens in Regulation stat goes up as well, then all the fairways in the world won't amount to a hill of beans.

Greens in Reg. is (arguably) the most important stat in all of golf.

If sacrificing some distance served to increase my GIR, then by all means, start cutting! But if cutting distance allowed me only to hit more fairways and made it harder to reach the greens, then it's not worth it.

Again, this isn't an either/or proposition because less distance means longer approaches which can end up being just as problematic as being too long or inaccurate off the tee in the first place.

I agree. I see most average golfers struggle mightily from more than 160-170 yards from the green. Get her down the fairway/rough as far as possible, practice a lot with your short irons so you're consistent, then hit more greens. Short irons do the scoring so get them in your hands whenever possible.
