all the more reason to make sure you have one less thing to worry about.
If if goes left and you dont know if its because thats where you were aiming or because of a swing fault then you dont know what to work on...

all the more reason to take enough club to allow for a bad shot..if the trouble is short..

sounds perfect...

If all goes well I'm now 45 yards or less from the green.
here is where I see poor shot choice.
Why not hit a 7 iron 130yds and leave yourself ~100 yds from the green.
You have now eliminated the riskier hybrid shot and also givien yourself an easier pitch shot (full shot is easier than trying to judge a 3/4 1/2 swing)
you know have 2 putts for a bogie, or 1 for a sneaky par.
Bogie your way around (using pars on the par 3's to make up on doubles) and you have just shot a 90.
