Golf tips: Grip it right


Golf tips: Get the perfect grip for your long and short game

Here's how you can use two gloves to gain the perfect golf grip.

Mark dots on the knuckle of your right index finger and on the knuckles of your left index and middle fingers. Then draw lines pointing towards your right shoulder from the crease between the thumb and forefinger of both hands.

You should be able to see all the dots and lines when you address the ball. Spend some time on the range with this grip until it feels natural.

I found this to be a really good article for me as I have always suffered and struggled with a slightly string grip, and every year spend time on the range, especially during the Winter months trying to perfect it and get rid of my bad habits.
