Well I have received a bunch of emails for FREE LESSONS so I figured I would start making some posts about these free golf lessons. It is important that people email and give me feedback on this blog so I can help all of you that are eager to learn how to play better golf. I know I enjoyed playing golf much more when I became able to pull off more and more shots every round I played. So lets get to the FREE GOLF LESSON of the day!!! The first thing I always did when starting a golf lesson is check the students golf grip. The golf grip is the key to a reliable, repeatable under pressure golf swing. There are many different kinds of golf grips but I like to teach the interlocking golf grip. The interlocking golf grip is better for those with smaller hands. By smaller hands I don't mean tiny hands but those of an average size. Put it this way, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods use interlocking golf grips, and I don't think either one of them have really small hands. But they don't have really big hands like someone that is say 6' 4". The interlocking golf grip is good for those that want to generate more power and have a good grip on the golf club. One of the best ways to learn how to grip a club is by carrying a club around in your house or at work and practicing holding that golf club all the time. I always see people that I am teaching looking at their hands wondering if they placed their hands on the club the right way and so afraid to take their hands off the golf club after I have placed them in the right position. Well practicing that golf grip by keeping a golf club around you as much as possible is key!!! A great book to look at and read is Five Lessons by Ben Hogan. Everyone knows Ben Hogan and knows that he was a master of the game. But he figured things out the hard way. By working himself endlessly to figure out what worked and what doesn't work. Five Lessons has some great points and one of them that Hogan covers is the lesson about the golf grip. It is so important that the hands and fingers are placed on the club properly to ensure a good grip. Ben Hogan happens to be one of the best golfers and practicers ever known to the game. That is just my opinion but I think you would find many that know about golf, and golf lessons, would agree. I will now try to talk you through placing your hands on the golf club.1. Hold a club out in front of you with your right hand.2. Take your left hand and hold it so that your the back of your hand is facing your target.3. Now point your fingers towards the ground by using your wrist.4. Put the top portion of the golf grip across the area where your fingers and palm meet.5. Now wrap your fingers under and around the golf grip.6. Put the meaty part of your palm with your thumb just to the side of being directly on top7. The V that is formed between your thumb and index finger should point to your right shoulder.8. Now open your right hand and face your palm towards the target.9. Join it to the golf grip interlocking your right pinky and left index finger.10.Also place the grip across the bass of your palm and fingers.11. Wrap your fingers around the golf grip and position your hand so that the V formed by your thumb and index finger points somewhere between the right side of your neck and right shoulder.
The V's that are formed are crucial and they must point in the right direction. We can sit here and talk all night about all kinds of things about the grip, but where those V's point will help you out trememdously. I hope I have helped you figure out how to grip a golf club with this free golf lesson. But the biggest thing I want you to take with you is that you have to practice this everyday!!! Without putting your hands on and off of the golf club a million and one times you will not feel comfortable doing it. Every time you hit a shot on the practice tee, take your hands off of the golf club and go through your routine of placing your hands back onto the club. You will be amazed at how much quicker you will develop a good grip, and feel more comfortable doing so. Well that is todays free golf lesson. Be sure to email me if you have any questions or comments or you can always post your comments here for all the readers to see on Free Golf Lessons.Blogspot.Com.
