How to Bump and Run - Golf Tips

Today we're going to talk about the bump and run. It's one of the most important shots in golf.

We need to get the ball on the ground and let it roll to the hole like a putt. We've got about 10 feet of fringe in front of us, then after that we've got the green.

The biggest fault that I see, is that people play the ball too far forward in their stance, their weight is on their back foot and they have a tendency to chip up on the ball this way, which adds too much loft and obviously, we can't roll the ball. Here is what it looks like the wrong way.

Notice the ball goes nowhere, that's not what I am talking about. Here is what I am talking about right here. Set up on it with the ball back in your stance, your hands are a little bit forward, your weights going to be on your front foot and what you're going to do is feel a little bit of rotation in your hands and arms to put top spin on the ball. You've got to have top spin on the ball, so that stays on top of the grass and rolls to the hole like a putt. Let me demonstrate. That's what I am talking about.
