I usually recommend a smaller swing with a lower lofted club

It is often times a better option to bump and run if you are on the collar about 10 or 12 yards away from the edge of the green and you need to hit it into the hillside to take the forward roll away. With this shot I usually recommend a smaller swing with a lower lofted club. Often times from this position I suggest to a beginner to simply putt the ball onto the green!
