Probably 160, but I've been known to get greedy anywhere from within 4 iron distance (210).

while I can certainly understand those with the ability to pin hunt from just about any reachable distance do attempt it, I am also finding it a tad surprising to me that so many of you do. I know you may have the confidence and the scrambling game as well which is of course in itself also a confidence booster when pin hunting, but its just that there is something to be said for hitting greens. Its no secret the more greens hit, the lower scores tend to be. Most (generally speaking) are going to score better by hitting more greens than having to scramble even if a good scrambler. Reason being is that you never know what the chip/pitch is going to be like.
There's always going to be a percentage of less than desirable and even also percentage of poor scramble situations based on where the ball (off the green) ends up. Buried lie, steep slope, a combo of that or whatever else have you. It just cant be avoided and will happen enough times imo. Of course there will also be a percentage of more difficult putts too I understand. But imo your still on the green and putting vs attempting a difficult chip/pitch scenario which could certainly be more penalizing. Just interesting to think about imo.

Why am I not surprised that your surprised by others answers you always seem to be surprised when people go against how you think things should play out.
You have to know your strengths and weakness. That is part of playing golf. If people pin hint from 230 and in, they know their limitations. You're comfy at your distance and other and comfy at theirs
