I also started practicing 100 yards over and over, and it became the strength of my game.
I let the other guys be the heroes, I play my game and as a result am more consistent.

I know it seems I'm obsessed with tee boxes right now, but this discussion has me thinking. If you are forced to not hit driver off the tee because the resulting approach shot will be too short (less than 100 yards / partial swing) then aren't you playing too far forward?
