GO-TO SHOT 1 Drive to a Tight Fairway

The Situation
You're on the tee of a narrow par 4. There's water left of the fairway and out-of-bounds down the entire right side. It's the final hole of your round, and if you can make a 5 you'll break 80 for the first time (or capture your club championship). Problem is, if you try to bomb your driver to make 3 or 4, you'll more likely end up writing down 7 or 8. Remember, 5 is all you need to achieve your goal on this hole.

The Go-To Shot You Need
One that gives you at least 200 yards of distance and lands the ball in the fairway.

80% The percentage of times you can successfully execute a shot for you to consider it a go-to option off the tee.
