Ah that explains the mismatch between posts, however I think Brian's comment still has some relevance to general play irrespective of the lie - especially for higher handicappers.

On the 300 yd shot I'd still go for 2 * 150 shots that I have a greater probability of making than trying to muscle a fairway wood to leave a 80 - 100yd wedge.

The 200 yd shot even more so - out of 10 attempts to hit the green what do you reckon? 1 on, 1 in the greenside bunker, 4 in the woods, 2 flubbed 30 yards, and 2 almost but not quite there leaving a 20 yard pitch over self same bunker.
