Jump

1. An unusually high bounce or unusual ball reaction after landing, often due to hard ground conditions or hitting an unseen object. 2. The act of playing ahead of slower groups when pace of play becomes problematic. Understanding both meanings helps golfers handle unexpected situations and maintain proper course etiquette. Jump situations require quick adaptation and often affect subsequent shot planning. Knowing when and how to appropriately jump ahead of slower groups helps maintain pace of play while following proper golf etiquette.
