Short Game Chef's Bump & Run Clinic | The Index Experiment | The Golfer's Journal

[@sduke39]

Love this series with Parker!

[@nhill31]

I just recently started using this bump and run tactic, and it is taken an average of four strokes off of my game. What you’ve shown with the mechanics of it can only make me better. Thank you.

[@MarkG_603]

I approached my short game like this years ago but got away from it, for some reason. Simplifying everything around the green takes so much pressure off of my game. Great video!

[@j.mccarthy3008]

Great advice!! Being an amateur who will normally putt, when possible, short of the green (or over) it amazes me how many I play with try to chip. Then chip again!! I’m going to work on my hybrids after watching this! I’m too far away from the ball. Thanks.

[@ianbarr5110]

I watched a Tommy Fleetwood video and if he can putt or chip he will putt.

[@KarenOkeefe18]

Love this one !

[@AndyGlavac]

Fantastic video Great advice on don’t hit stroke the bump and run My Fave go to shot under pressure

[@user-kw7rt9zl4e]

Love a good bump with my 5 hybrid

[@chrisd4688]

I like the hybrid/putter stroke to punch out from under trees also.

[@vicpnut1]

Yeah this has been what ive heard from about 1/2 the people since the 90’s …which of course i had forgotten once youtube teachers found my feed 😜.. couple weeks back i remembered it and took many shots off my game ..👍🏼✌️

[@ColdBrewDrew]

My fav shot is the hybrid chip and my playing partners always give me weird looks when I pull it out

[@mikebarnard2689]

Like the great Ray Floyd did back in the day… putting with loft. Well explained. Another side benefit esp with left below right putting grip is that the shaft returns to vertical at impact , almost zero shaft lean, the ball pops up because the true loft and bounce are presented at impact. The heel up stance means less chance of a dig into the turf.

[@davechavezjr5399]

Thank you for these very smart, useful tips. It has always been my understanding that Arnold Palmer used the “bump and run” to great effect when not facing the threat of sand or water to try and “keep the ball on the ground”! Rather than risk “ chuncking” a wedge, I have used the 8 iron many times to land the ball close to the hole using the “bump and run” technique. What I also do, unfortunately, is “hit” the ball, so I often miss my mark. Your tips make sense to me, so I will change my technique. Thank you very much.

[@ianbarr5110]

I bought a chipper for £30 and use that to bump and run. It has a golf club shaft and grip. I use a putting stroke up to 30 yards.

[@davechavezjr5399]

@@ianbarr5110 I used to have a chipper as well, years ago. The problem with that approach is it takes up a club spot in your bag and has limited uses.

[@ianbarr5110]

@@davechavezjr5399 I read that you can have up to 18 clubs now?

[@darylwizzard5832]

I use a chipper bent lie and length same as my putter for such situations

[@sandygilmour5444]

Great work chef. Like the stroke and run

[@Bobbob-qe7pf]

Wonderful stuff very informative and both guys very engaging to listen too.

[@JoeGilbert-zc1fg]

Should call it the putt and run. That would make the grip, stance and stroke self explanatory.

[@ryajsmit]

Ya not many public courses I play are no where near this flat. Wedges for days plus look at how well that is maintained

[@13vansman]

Exactly and this fairway looks like many of the public greens!

[@Mr308inGA]

Great video, liked, subscribed...but just as important as the lesson, WHAT BRAND IS THAT COOL TOPO SHIRT?

[@s.t.e.r.e.o.]

Yes

[@mb58993]

5:15 woah hold on there buddy

[@Jayhawk_Nation]

More camera angles would make this video better. Simultaneously observing multiple angles.

[@charlesmccormick2625]

Getting close, 4 feet from off green distance! Round hybrid sole, “no dig” fat shot, fly it 3-6 feet & roll it! Go low on chip shots w/o wedges & get over it!

[@MrKbsweeney]

Great video. Not a lot of theory. Lots of shots. Thanks.

[@MichaelJones-ff9gb]

Learned this from a dinosaur, after he watched me blow a birdie chance from the fringe. Practice this before you tee off on your next round and it is sure to shave strokes off your round.

[@johnsobey4261]

I use my 8 iron and works 80% of the time, but you have to excel a rate

[@elmowillgetu96]

lol @5:15

[@Graham-bg3ij]

a lot of these balls are landing short of the putting surface - what if you have a thick fringe ? Generally speaking landing a golf ball on the green provides a far more predictable first bounce - and look for flat spots - also try to keep your landing areas close to where you are playing from - the further you try to carry your ball onto the green the harder it gets

[@darylwizzard5832]

I use an antique chipper from 1971

[@Golfnut_2099]

One thing I have never understood is keeping your stance closed and your body facing 90 degrees from the line. I bump and run all the time, but I basically open my stance, so my toes are facing the hole (or direction I want to hit the ball). The swing is like I am tossing the golf ball underhand. It is a short, sweet swing that anyone can do. I learned this on my second full round of golf. I had been chipping back and forth across the greens. We walked past the putting green between holes 9 and 10. My buddy said... Try this. He hit three balls. I watched and then took one swing... ball in hole from about 20 feet. I never looked back.

[@jimgavin1726]

Well done Tiger. Your great. 👏 👏 👏

[@sarojcheema4588]

What’s the grip for the Bump& Run ?

[@jeffmutch7640]

Your putting grip

[@TWTexasA1]

It kills me how many amateurs think they can hit the perfect high lofted pitch shot from around the green. Ya maybe 1 out of 8 times those are bad odds go with the bump n run you’ll save a lot of shots..👍🏼👍🏼

[@hcharton5722]

I do much better with wedges than a longer iron or hybrid.

[@texomajohn2916]

What loft is this hybrid

[@johnblachaniec8856]

I live in Scottsdale, how do I get a personal lesson from Parker???

[@Chris-rs4so]

What sort of distance is good for bump and run?

[@yardape99]

What about Paul Runyan's "rule of 12?" These methods seem like you're eye balling, rather than calculating.

[@swisstrader]

Good stuff. But hybrid bump and run is much more unpredictable than any other club from this distance. Usually comes out crazy hot and best is an iron or putter

What does hood mean?

[@mattarruda]

Close the toe of the face

[@Randsurfer]

Using a hybrid. Parker didn't really answer the question about judging the power because of the "hotness" of the hybrid face. First, you just need to hit 50-100 bumps with a hybrid and observe the power. A good starting place for me: I just imagine my putting stroke for that same distance if it was all on the green. The hotness of the hybrid would normally make it go long, but that is offset by the slowness of the fringe grass off the green. Small adjustments can then be made based on how far off the green you are and also whatever you learned from your day hitting 100 practice bumps.

[@darrenmcintosh326]

I can putt off that fairway

[@resistfascism]

When the video started, I thought they were on a green.

Seve was not aggressive through his short game shots. Oh the amount of nonsense these wanna be golf instructors talk is just ridiculous

Get a chipper

[@BeefyPreacher]

ewwwww

[@Nico_B_]

Only bad part of this video is those shoes with shorts

[@romeogolfbravo]

Naaaah that’s a fit! Here in Australia shorts are king!

[@JJSmith-t6r]

I completely disagree with the use of a hybrid in the first scenario. He is on a super tight fairway lie. All the hybrid does is jump over the first metre/yard and then rolls like a putt. It does not need to jump over the first meter/yard, its tight fringe/fairway. Why not just use a putter where most people already have the feel of how it will come off the face. So often we pull out a hybrid in this scenario and because we don't do it that often, we completely misjudge the pace. For me, the hybrid is for when there is a need to jump it over the first little bit (like rough or sprinkler head), but we want it to roll like a putt immediately after. I do not see a benefit to this shot in the video, over a putter.

[@mcpappysgolden]

Will you stop saying, "Right?" You can do it. It's kind of like expunging "Umm" from your public speeches.
