I'm not sure what you mean. I play the shot(s) that I believe will result in the lowest overall score. Sometimes that's an aggressive shot. Sometimes it's more conservative.......

It depends on the situation. I try to evaluate risk/reward, and act accordingly. Since I am not a long hitter (my driver carries 228 yards), but I am very accurate, I do not have many opportunities for birdies. So, when I am within 140 yards of the green, and the pin is accessible, I go for it.

I voted for a mixture. I let the situation determine whether I need to be agressive or conservative. There are times to go after it and times to pull back. Overall, I would say my play is on the agressive side with a constant mindfulness of not trying to doing anything stupid.

As someone who is just starting after 10+ years off, I'm playing conservatively. The driver stays at home for now and a new 3 wood has complimented my bag. Decided to go for a 2h as well...not sure if it was the right decision, but we will see.

Im a conservative fairways and greens type of player. Ill get safe and just try to make a score on the green with the putter rather than with pure ballstriking.

I try to play the right shot if possible. When I get in trouble I feel confident I can hit through small gaps in trees so I am aggressive in my punch outs. When I am shooting at greens I almost always go for the middle of greens outside of 100 yards.

I used to be like that, I was actually way too conservative at times. Now, for reasons I mentioned earlier, I nearly always shoot right at the flag. To be fair, there are exceptions. Well, there is one exception - I will almost always take the shortest path over water even if it's away from the flag.

Something about hitting into the water that bothers me to no end.

However, I will cut the corner on every dogleg, hit 3W nearly all the time as my second shot to a par 5 and will usually try the flop shot after short-siding myself because I went right at the flag.

One thing I have to admit is when I play in a scramble I am usually forced to be the conservative one because I am usually the shortest hitter. That means I hit 3 iron for position on the par 5s, etc.

Same thing on some par 3s, I have to play the safe shot because I'm hitting 6 iron when my partners are hitting 7 or 8. Taking one for the team is part of the deal of being a short hitter.

I play almost all match play...my style varies from hole to hole and sometimes from shot to shot depending on the villian and or my partner. That is part of what makes match play so much fun. I may attack a green from 230 on par 5 because it gives me the only chance to win...while the next day on the same hole, with the same shot, i may be hitting a 7 iron to lay-up...just depends.
