"JOHNNY MILES: In this clip, I'm going to go over the visuals from the green that we had--that looked differently in the previous clip from the tee. You can tell a short left of the green here on 17 at Tampa Palms. As long as I carried it to 165, right in here, I'd have a relatively easy chip. I've taken the water out of play, okay? And if you come up here on the green, where we talked about it being 180 yards up into here, if I hit something up there, that ridge is going to keep it from going over the green and the ball will actually roll back a little bit. And I got a relatively simple putt, a little bit downhill, but again I've taken the water out of play. Knowing your yardages to escape trouble and knowing where to leave it in case you miss it are key points in learning to play this game."
