How you grip and your grip pressure determine the direction of the clubface at impact, which in turn affects the accuracy of the shot in height, distance, and direction. There are 3 basic types of grips: Overlapping grip, Interlocking grip and Baseball grip of which overlapping grip is the most adopted.
Overlapping Grip
Set your right hand on the club where the pinkie finger of your right hand rests on the index finger of your left hand
Interlocking Grip
The index finger of your left hand and the pinkie finger of your right hand are interlocked, balancing the applied power from both hands.
Baseball Grip
All fingers touch the grip of the club. Index finger of your left hand rests alongside pinkie finger of your right hand.
Playing well means you can hole out in each hole with minimum strokes. Good knowledge in golf rules; possession of quality equipment and clubs; being properly dressed and back-up of learned technique all contribute to being a good golfer. Of course, reasonable training with numerous practices in top class fields also count. Golf is a gentleman sport in tradition and that's why it is important to learn etiquette as a courtesy on the course to honour yourself and to respect other players.
To make golf your beloved pass-time, you can try the following:
- Understand the basic rules and theories;
- Team up with your friends for regular practices;
- Forget all the theories and enjoy the pure pleasure of hitting the ball on the field; and
- If you can afford, go overseas to meet new challenges in exotic courses
