I work the ball according to the shape of the hole most of the time on tee shots. I also will play a safe cut on tight holes where letting the ball run (ala draw) is not recommended. Obviously I will work the ball extreme amounts (or try) for trouble shots, but mostly a 5 - 10 yard movement is all that I try for under normal conditions. I tend to play it straight on approach shots, but will adjust trajectory as needed.

Now, having said all that, since my experience at the SoCal school I cannot really work the ball at all. My swing is in full rebuilding mode and I am having to re-learn the stroke including working the ball. Oh, well.
