Golf tip of the week: Grip the golf club properly for some better control
PHOTO PROVIDED
Do not grip beyond the grip line.
When gripping a golf club, the left hand should not extend beyond the end of the grip.
A golf club should be held in the fingers with the pad of the left hand below the reference line on the grip, the opposite hand for the left-hand golfer. The line on the butt end of the grip indicates the end of the shaft. By gripping beyond that point, the club is longer, and the hands are not in control of the club.
The grip pressure should be relaxed but firm enough to maintain control. Apply the same amount of pressure you would utilize with any implement or tool, such as a hammer.
Don’t forget to enjoy this great game called golf.
