So what's the best way to deal with this? Front pin, take middle yardage? Middle pin, take back yardage? Back pin, take back yardage (unless long is death)? That's what I'm taking away from this thread and seems to make the most sense to me.

I don't think one should take much away from this. Its just a statistic. Or a guess at one for most people. You can take whatever you basically want to take from stats anyway. But its never as simple as what your coming up with anyway. If I have a front pin I'm not automatically looking middle at all. If slopping moderately to heavily upwards from the front on back I'll then look for the front with a front pin and if I come up short (on the apron) I'd rather chip up from there than putt moderately or heavily down hill from the middle. So its also about greens sloping and also many other factors like where are the bunkers or any other dangers at? or how firm are the greens today? how fast are they today? how well am I striking my irons today? whats the safe play on this given green? wind, temps, etc, etc.
