I have been thinking long and hard about this topic and I am wondering if there is an optimum way to play golf or a golf hole. I know golf is a game of imperfection but I wonder if there is a way to play a golf hole that will allow you score better than another way.
for instance, you have a 420 yard par four that dog legs right. You can carry the corner with a high drive but must play over the trouble and hug right side but are left with SW into green or PW. I encounter these types of holes all the time. What is the best way to play the hole to score the lowest possible hole.
If you are playing the correct tees then you should have options from each set of tees. The risk reward shot, safe layup shot or a mix of both. Which way will increase our chances of scoring? Or doesn't it really matter because each day on the course is different.
What are your thoughts? This isn't a how would you play this hole exercise
