What's a GIR?
Lol, I just had a situation like this earlier this week. 65 yards from the pin, front hole location. A tree was overhanging just next to my line, probably a good 60-90 feet up. Thought I could get a LW just next to the tree and land it 3-4 feet to the other side of the pin. The result, the ball got to close and clipped the tree, leaving me an even more difficult 25 yd pitch out of rough. In retrospect, I should have been more conservative, realize I couldnt pin hunt from that location, and hit a 3/4 SW or 1/2 PW under the high branches into the middle of the green and two putt for par.
Take a step back from the situation and think about your options, and which option has the highest percentage of allowing you to save par. If there's an option with low risk that allows you to chase a birdie, go for it. But if that birdie option is risky, it quickly turns into the bogey option.
