Play Better Golf with Niall McGill - Hybrid bump & run It has been many years if not decades since I can remember such a prolonged period of great weather. Not since I was a young lad can I remember seeing so many golf courses burnt out with brown fairways. I however love this way of playing golf, with firm fairways and greens that need a perfectly struck shot to hold a ball. What this does mean, is that the high flighted chip shot will be very difficult to control and the only way to be getting the ball close to the hole will be to keep it low to the ground. Traditionally, the bump and run shot has been played with something like a 7 iron. This is still a great choice to play the shot, but today I wanted to show you another option. The hybrid is an extremely versatile club, with its wider sole design and larger head. It is not limited to hitting full shots and can be very effective for playing chip shots. The wider sole and more club head mass helps it brush easily through the grass with much less chance of digging in. To play the hybrid bump & run, firstly set up with a reasonably narrow stance, grip down the club and place the ball just forward of centre in your stance. You should now rock your shoulders back and through as if you were playing a long putt. I would suggest using a hybrid with around 19 – 22 degrees loft as that will give just enough lift get the ball travelling. With a bit of practice, this could be your new secret weapon! |
