And there are sometimes when that's good, because the green slopes down in the front.  But if I sail it past the green, that's almost always bad news for the different courses I've played.

I think that's great, and now that you have your distances dialed in with 4-PW, you should see your HC start to plummet quickly. Once you're getting off the tee and can get your approach shots somewhere near the green - and hitting (not just 'knowing') your yardages well is a big step in that direction - breaking 90 (or much better) every time out becomes automatic.
