i. Golf Tips

by
WAYNE GAMBORSKI and DENNY McARTHUR

Undoubtably, the most important part of the golf swing is the ad
dress position and the grip.

It seems as though it hag been endlessly emphasized to the degree
where the point is moot. Yet is remaiis a sore point of the teacher. Not all
of us will swing the golf club like a touring professional, but we feel that
the average player should be able to grip and address the ball much like the
pro.

Therefore, we must stress the value of doing it correctly. The position
of address, including the grip, to a great extent determines what occurs
during the swing. For example, a poor grip forces the player to make com
pensations in the swing itself to overcome the poor grip. And, as we all
know, two wrongs do normakea right

The grip is our only connection with the golf club, and this in itself
should show its importance. The problem we see most often in the grip is
improper positioning of the left hand. Place the grip of the club across the
middle joint of tht index finger, and under the fleshy pad of the palm. The
right hand is placed on the club so that the palm of the right hand covers
the left thumb.

The keys toa good grip are

© The gripis placed under the fleshy part of the left hand

© The back of the left hand and the palm of the right face the target

©» The grip pressure is just enough to hold on to the club, but not to
the point where you strangle the club

The set up, which is composed of alignment and posture, provides
the foundation for the swing. To be aligned propetly to the target, the
feet, knees, hips and shoulders are parallel to the intended target. All great
athletes have two things in common, balance and concentration, Balance
is provided by correct posture. To achieve correct posture the feet should
be shoulder width apart, thus resulting in the feet, knees, hips and
shoulders being aligned vertically. The weight is distributed evenly bet
ween the feet, the knees slightly flexed, and the body bent slightly from the
waist. You are now in an athletic position, much like a weightlifter, track
star, or tour professional

Unfortunately, the importance of the grip and position of address
cannot be adequately covered in this format, thus we suggest purchasing
an instructional golf book or video cassette and follow the information
meticulously

Good luck and good golfing
