Positive thinking and committing to the shot are awesome, but there are always times when doing the smart thing is best, and then play aggressive on the next shot.
My best example was when I was in Florida. Barely pull my drive, could have easily been fairway except for the sever slope, so I roll all the behind a few trees. I could have tried to hook the ball around and roll it up onto the green. Buttttt, there was water to the left, and of course those pesky trees in front of me. So what do I do? Just punch it up to about 70 out, and then go all out on the next shot, and save par.
