Runner
A low-trajectory golf shot designed to travel primarily along the ground rather than through the air, often used in windy conditions or when a low approach is strategically advantageous. Runners are particularly effective on firm, fast courses where ground conditions allow the ball to bounce and roll toward the target. This shot technique is common in links golf, where wind and firm turf conditions favor low-running approaches. Professional golfers use runners to control trajectory in adverse weather, navigate under tree branches, or when pin positions favor ground-level approaches. Mastering runner shots requires understanding course conditions and trajectory control.
