Daily Video Tips
Watched again, Basic but necessary. Loved the thought "swing and collect the ball" one of 5 best instructions all time. Been following you for 9 years. LH Tom.
Great advice been struggling for years on short game
Playing in comp tomorrow so I will definitely get the chance to try this out.
A swing thought that works for me on either of those shots is to hit the ball with your right shoulder. It keeps the body turning.
Fantastic. I express that feel to many students.
Like it.The first time Ive heard someone say do many reps without the ball.Also the set up things
Thanks for the kind words.
Thank you for an understandable explanation of the transition. When I do what you just demonstrated I hit my irons well. When I do not I usually hit them thin or occasionally fat. How do you feel about starting the downswing with a lateral shift of the hips towards the hole.
I think your comment is directed at another video tip. To you question, a little lateral relocation, or bumb, is best to get the downswing going.
Years ago I played in Malta, there were many retired English ( ancient Britons) playing golf: they could chip and putt me to death. And they used the bump and run with mastery. I still use this method when I'm short-sided. It's too easy to chunk a lob wedge from a tight lie.
Hi Terence, thanks for sharing.
I use a bump and run a lot when it is gusty. I hit a 56° about 90 meters full swing. If I'm unlucky my perfect distance shot ends up off the side of the green if there is a gust of cross-wind. If there is a run-up to the green, a bump and run is the smart shot.
I switch between chipping and bump-and-run depending on the lie and the target. If downhill, I chip with a lofted club so it will trickle to the hole. If slightly uphill, I use a pitching wedge. If very uphill, I use a bump-and-run but protect by aiming to stop it 5 feet short.
I use this shot all the time with different lofted clubs depending on distance. For something short say 10-15 yards I use a delofted gap wedge. A little further the 9 iron. Further still an 8. Very reliable.
Used this very shot today. Short par 4 had thought about trying to use 60 to fly it to hole but used the bump n run got it to 3ft and drained the birdie. Thanks for making us think about around the greens!!
Thomas, well played!!
