The pot bunker is bigger at 3 wood length so technically there's a greater chance of ending up in it, and isn't there the possibility of really getting a hold of one and ending up in the big bunker? And correct me if I'm wrong, but at the scratch level, isn't the difference between 70 yards vs 90 yards out in the fairway fairly negligible?

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.
