Definition
A low-trajectory shot played around the green that lands quickly and rolls toward the hole like a putt, useful when there's plenty of green to work with and obstacles to avoid. Bump and run shots offer safe, reliable approaches to many pin positions and course conditions. Understanding when to use bump and run technique adds versatility to short game strategy and course management. This shot requires proper club selection, setup adjustments, and distance control for effective execution. Bump and run shots are particularly valuable in windy conditions or on firm surfaces.
