All our lives we are taught to run away from trouble. But when you are on he tee pad this is not always a good strategy. So as you survey the hole from the tee pad and start to take note of the hazards in the distance (bunkers, trees, water, other) your best option is often to move toward the worst hazard and tee off from the side closest to your biggest risk. By doing this you give yourself a wider field of view away from the hazard, in fact you will likely tee off away, rather than toward your biggest risk.
