Another  driving range session. Got to keep the iron swing shorter. Not as much wrist twist as I think I need. If I over swinging I get into bad patterns of shallow with the body. Swing life is still a major key cannot neglect. Driver is much better. The feel of staying in my tilt and swinging down and left extending the arms is producing slight pulls to pull cuts.  

I don’t usually make practice strokes but when I do it’s always a practice stroke for the distance that I want to hit, similar to how I do for practice swings for short game shots.

Missed this one..  The closer you are to the green is always better because of strokes gained unless the hole didn't let you hit Driver for obvious reasons.  With driver if you can carry the trees on the left and stay shot of the greenside bunker its the right call, but because of what you said this is not the right club.  With 3 wood you have plenty of room (60 yards playable with 50 yards of dispersion for the club).  You are only challenging a small bunker and you are leaving yourself 70 yards to the hole. Dropping back to 3 iron avoid the brown bunker but put another bunker in play so no gain there and all your shots are now 20 yards longer. Not a good trade. Last option, lay back to 4 iron were practically all your shots are going to be in play but you are going to play all of them from 120.  For me is a 3 wood all day long.   

I suggest you read the Model Local Rule to understand better.  The MLR is in effect only if the Committee chooses so.  The rule should be worded to identify which specific areas are impacted.  It could be a simple description, it could identify specific painted areas, certain holes,  there are a number of ways the Committee can define where "root relief" is available.

1) They may do either.  2) No The wording of the suggested LR is sufficiently variable.
