The more difficult the golf course, the narrower the fairways, the smaller the greens the more hazards there are the more important this becomes, on your average golf course though most people can get away with mostly just hitting whatever they are hitting that day, it will vary unless you are a pretty good ball striker. I usually on easy golf courses stick with hitting the ball straight as possible, which is usually a little draw for me. On more difficult layouts I will go with bending a driver some either way as it does help to keep you on the fairway as long as you can control the bend. A narrow fairway that doglegs right you almost have to hit a fade at the outside corner to keep it on the fairway, so it is important there also not just hitting to the green. Opposite for a right to left fairway bend, tee up on the left side of the tee box and aim at the right edge of the fairway and hit a draw. One of the best tips I ever got was to setup aiming at the edge of the fairway but make sure the clubface is aimed at the middle of it and it will bend that way 80% of the time if you make a good swing. The rest of the time that it doesn't bend much you are still ok because you are aiming at the edge and a straight ball with a tiny bend or no bend at all should still be ok. The small percentage of the time that it actually goes the opposite way, with a double cross, bending right when you are trying to go left, well then you are in the woods.
