Some of this back and forth seems to be based on what is meant by "go for it". In my earlier post I mentioned that sometimes I play conservative, low-risk course-management strategy ("smart") and sometimes I play high risk, low percentage golf. To me, the latter is "going for it". It depends on what is at stake, where I am playing, how tight the course is, the format, etc. My best scores are typically when I am playing "smart".
