Knowing that we all play on different courses and at different skill levels - low risk means different things to each of us. Is this different than when you normally play (for a score and not for practice)?

My home course is a canyon layout with lots of forced carries, ponds, creeks, and elevation changes. Its very much a target course. There are no low-risk holes where a wayward shot is potentially "safe". I'm not sure what Tom Kite was thinking when he designed it, but its definitely a test. Even so, a boring round of par is very doable if you respect the layout and avoid the high risk/reward temptations. I play from the back tees because distance is not the issue. Shot placement is.
