A corner pin behind sand is a trap set for your ego. The middle of the green is the aggressive-smart play.
Firing at a flag tucked in a corner behind a bunker, then short-siding yourself with almost no green to work with.
The short-side up-and-down converts far less often than a lag putt from 25-30 feet. Aiming at the fat of the green scores better even though you're "farther" from the hole.
The center of the green, or the safe fat side away from the trouble. Take your two-putt and move on; attack only when the pin is in the middle with room to miss.
≈ 0.3-0.5 strokes per hole by never short-siding a tucked pin.
