The Bump and Run Shot

If you have a chip shot with no rough or hazards in your path consider the bump and run shot. The quicker the golf ball is rolling the more control you have with the outcome. This shot was 20 yards uphill to a back left flag.


Club of choice was the 8 iron.

Stance slightly open to target and half shoulder width apart. Club face square to target line.

Ball position middle of my stance.

Take a couple of practice swing to determine the length of back swing required to hit the shot considering roll out. I also look at the area where the golf ball is going to land as I view the shot becomes a putt when it starts rolling. You can make some of these if executed correctly and with a little luck.

If grip pressure stays the same length of back swing determines how far the golf ball will travel.

Weight to your left side at address (right for left handed players). Shaft leans towards target.

Brush the grass and please follow through keeping the club face square to your target line leading with the back of your left hand (right hand for left handed players.

This shot took forever to roll out.
