Whats behind the green?
If there is just grass then the percentage shot is a 7iron.
If you catch it 100% then you might be over the back, but probably not, unless the green is only 10yrds deep.
If you mishit it, which is likely for a 100+ player then you still have a chance at reaching the green.
The most common high handicapper mistake is clubbing yourself for the 100% shot, if you always hit the ball 100% you wouldnt be a high handicapper!
