I agree but having the exact yardage is the best starting point. Once you know the yardage you can take the surroundings into account; eg. I hit 8 iron 155-160 so if I've got 160yards and its uphill I hit 7, downhill is an easy 8. There's nothing worse than hitting a shot straight at the pin only to find your 15 yards short/long when you couldn't have hit the shot any better!
