Then as you can see the pan over there is back left there's a big huge ridge that runs through the middle this green so everybody tries to play over here and let it funnel down the ridge because if you hit it from the tee box over this bunker there is not a lot of green to work with. Unfortunately sometimes we tend to shove it and when we do we're end up wind up with this particular part right here now we can see the green goes up like this takes a big dive down I'm going to hit 2 putts here and I want to make sure that you come to the green and you always pay attention to what's around you. OK So if I go over here and I just play it high way up here height of the right what's going to happen is going to take that steep part of that slope as it's done right there and it's going to gather speed it's going to take off again as we come down there you can see that ball keeps on truckin it's probably going to go coast off the green.
OK When you come up here that's usually the 1st thing you're going to see but remember there's 2 ways to get to the hole if I play it over here to the left a little bit I can run it through that fringe and hopefully I can take some heat off the golf ball. So as we can see here it runs to the fringe and that ball coming out of there is about as slow as it can possibly go and you can see that that ball is going to have a little bit better chance to finish up close of the hole. Now remember neither one of those putts are gimmes but you have to take your licks don't automatically jump up here and look at that one of the the green goes like this so I'm going to I'm going to whip it in there OK because when you do you can see that ball is going to gather speed it's gone here we took a little bit different route we used the fringe to slow it down and now instead of having a 15 20 footer for par we actually have about a 7 to 10 foot for par something that is reasonable try it.
