Identify hazards such as out-of-bounds (OB) and bunkers before selecting your club on a par 3.
On dangerous or long holes, consider laying up short of hazards to leave a simple chip and putt.
Factor in wind conditions as they can significantly impact ball flight and distance on exposed holes.
Prioritize a 'safe 3' or 'easy 4' over a risky shot that could result in a double bogey or worse.
