We're going to setup the approach shot. There's the cage. What I want to do from here is get as close as I can. Sometimes when you're a little bit far away like I am now, within about 50 feet, you might not necessarily want to go for the cage. If you're an all-star, go for it. Live on the edge, but I suggest maybe laying up just a little bit and setting yourself up for a nice easy putt where you can just lay it in. That's what I'm going to do right here.

This is a mid range driver. That was great. I landed pretty close to the basket. I'm going to be able to just setup and lay it in nice and easy for the putt. Let's go check it out."
