"I think the only problem with that type of "anti-strategy" is that you only fool the golfer once."
"After trying the left hand route once and getting burned, one would never intentionally flirt with the bunkers off the tee again but instead play out to the more open, if longer, right hand side."
Mike Cirba, you might be giving golfers to much credit for not being fooled more than once or for not being able to resist temptation. The thrill of cutting the corner on a dogleg and having a shorter approach shot into the green, no matter how bad the angle, is just to hard for some of us to resist.
