Handicap - 9, so that chart says 200yds is a toss-up for me
To me, the distance is not the issue when you get out to 200yds+ but more a couple of other factors
1 - What hazards surround the green
2 - What is the lie of the ball like
3 - What is the wind doing
4 - How well am I controlling the ball on that particular day/hole
If I have a terrible lie and am 200yds out, I am likely not going for the green unless there is no danger, but at the same time if I have 220yds with a good lie and no hazards around the green then I will still have a go at it
