When I get bored, I watch a LOT of YouTube golf videos. One thing I take from them is that there is NEVER just 'one way' to do things.
I was watching one earlier and the host was playing a round. His par 5 approach shot was topped and resulted in the ball sitting in the rough. He mentioned that it was sitting up in the rough and that his options were either to take more club or to swing harder. Ultimately, he elected to take more club.
I got to thinking about situations like that where my ball may be sitting up or where I'm just between clubs. In cases where neither long nor short are bad misses... I almost always elect to swing harder. When I try to take more club and swing a little slower, I find the ball either comes out really dead or way right.
So... if you're faced with a similar situation... what's your preferred option?
