I agree with Don. Besides, in the modern game its not all run it up from 100 yards or hit it high, but it can be more spin and less spin, at least for top players.
I believe that in the short game, the rule of thumb among good players is still to keep it as low to the ground as possible, if all fw and green between you and hole. So, even with aerial golf, the bump and run is still with us, maybe in different - and reduced use - form.
A few years back at an ASGCA meeting, I heard Jack say that he likes to play holes with a two tier green on long, downwind par 4 holes, where he can "reduce spin" and chase the approach shot up the tier to the back pin. I sort of gathered, he figured the front of the green would be a bit wider than the back, and hitting the green and rolling from there was his best option, rather than trying to fire an aerial shot to the narrower back part of the green.
Since then, when routing is complete, I find my longest typically down wind par 4 and give it a two tier green. Some argue, but if Jack said it, it was good enough for me........
And the grinders I have worked with, Colbert, Begay, even Elkington used the contours and low shots when it was the best shot. Again, not 100 yards out, usually land near the green and let the contours take the ball to the pin when they can. Even more amazing to me is how they easily visualized the shot, even on a grand opening where they really had never played (and in some cases even seen) the hole. Not much gets by them......
By the way, I will add that when I read the title, I had a different opinion of where this thread might go. When I hear good players (really all players) speak of "comfortable shots" (sometimes called "fitting the eye") its more about seeing the target, knowing it will hold. Hitting to a valley is always comfortable, hitting to plateaus is always scary. Being able to aim at the middle of the green is comfortable, having to aim over water or OB to let the wind bring it back to safe ground is uncomfortable, etc.
