Few activities are so closely connected with human nature, and thus so revealing of character. In this sense, golf is the ultimate conservative game. And by this measure, Ike was certainly deeply conservative, with a sense of prescription and honor befitting a military officer and patriot.
Full Answer
Conservative Aggression Starts with Decisions
Conservative means you’re making conservative decisions based upon the tools you own and the skills you consistently execute. It means as you’re playing golf, the decisions you’re making prior to swinging are swings you can perform. It also means you’re avoiding the compounding of a mistake by making a second mistake.
Commit to Aggression
Have you ever stood over a shot in felt uncomfortable? But went ahead and made the shot happen anyway? When this happens to my clients, they normally hit a poor shot. And I let them know in very certain terms, they just gave themselves permission to fail.
Conclusion
Conservative Aggression allows you the freedom to play your best. You play your best golf when you can swing freely and easily. This occurs most often when you’re committed to the shot. You can’t commit to a shot if your decision is so aggressive, your gut feeling says you can’t pull off the shot. You must reverse the trend and the process.

The only thing in my game that I'd label as "aggressive" is that I tend to go for pins that aren't heavily guarded. Since I almost always do I had to vote for "a little of both", but I don't think anyone would label me as "aggressive" in my game.

I would consider myself overly conservative. I will always be short on par putts knowing that if I am long its a guaranteed double at best.

Learning your limitations on a golf course will greatly lower your scores. It's called course management. When you get on the tee, look at the hole in front of you.

I'm stupid. I'll just fire at the pin. I'll try to shape it from the center of the green out to it, but I gotta work on thinking these things over haha

I said a bit of both, because I am rather aggressive off the tee, but rather conservative with my approach shots. My game might be a little better if I played the other way around, but I feel like I am finally learning how to play this game. So I have been getting better with my course management...just have to get better at it.

I am conservative off the tee and really get into trouble with being aggressive with my irons or hybrids trying to do something my skill level just doesn't warrant.
