Said in one of the other RR threads I really like the hat and those colors gives it a Ryder Cup feel IMO

I think a good distance would be my first thought. But I think I read someone where that most amateur golfers statistically do better when going for the green. Easier to hit a target from 30yds then from 100yds in most cases. If you know your partner then that is more specific info and I like your train of thought. It would all depend on how each of your are playing that day and the confidence level of the partner to hit the shot needed.
In my case I would go for the green, then top or duff the shot to the exact yardage you wanted anyway

If playing alt shot and an approach shot on par 4 and your partner doesn't have the length to reach the green in reg do you ask your partner to get as close as possible even if it leads and "awkward" distance (20,30,40yds, etc) or do you ask them to give you a specific distance?
similar situation on par 5, do you have your partner be aggressive or leave you a number?
does it depend on how your partner has been hitting the ball?
i would base mine off my partners playing but my tendency would be to ask for a specific yardage.
Both situations for me - get as close as he is comfortable with. I have a lot of confidence in my wedge / short game. IMO, it is harder than it seems to ask the average player to lay-up to a certain yardage. I think if I can just tell him to simply get as close as he is comfortable with that takes off a lot of pressure, and he is much more likely to hit a good shot.
Of course, some of this is going to depend on conditions.. if getting close puts me in a wet area, or an extremely tight lie where I have to get over a bunker to a tight pin, etc, that would have to be taken into consideration for sure
Communication is they key here and ultimately to get the ball in the hole in the least amount of strokes than your opponent team on that hole. It also depends on how the other team is playing. In general, I would say lay up to a very comfortable wedge distance that would give us the best advantage to birdie or hole out from the fairway. If my partner has a sharp wedge game that day, then get it as close to the hole as possible.If playing alt shot and an approach shot on par 4 and your partner doesn't have the length to reach the green in reg do you ask your partner to get as close as possible even if it leads and "awkward" distance (20,30,40yds, etc) or do you ask them to give you a specific distance?

Sanzabar almost took the exact words out of my mouth. Having some experience in an Alternate shot format twice before in a tournament we learned the hard way. The first day, we thought we'd be smart and ask our partners to leave us with a number we felt comfortable with. The results were let's say less than stellar.I think it depends on how comfortable my partner is with a certain shot. I do not want my partner to be uncomfortable standing over the ball. If they are comfortable going at it, then let them free swing.
If they are comfortable laying up to a certain number for me, then so be it. However, the most important part of the hole is the current shot, so whatever my partner feels is the best for their game, then I am going to let them do.
