I tried baseball grip a couple of time in high school. Great distance the first few holes, but then I lost control of where the ball was going.

Focus, connect and follow through!

The Recreational Golfer

Cary Middlecoff's book, The Golf Swing , says that in Harry Vardon's era, golfers wrapped their thumbs around the shaft and held the club in their palms rather than their fingers. Vardon had large hands with long, thick fingers, and developed a grip that solved his problem of "finding room on the club" for his hands. The implication, according to Middlecoff, is that players with smaller hands might not need to overlap.

not a big fan of the baseball grip. I have tried it, and my pops uses it religiously. I tried to get him to try other grips but he wont change. He is also a lefty that hooks the really hard.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By mdl ·

      I took a big step back last season in terms of scoring. I felt I'd plateaued and committed to another round of lessons and working on meaningful swing changes. Went from a 7.9 to an 11. Back down in the 10s. Just starting to see some of the feel of improvement show up in scores. In fact a few rounds ago I had my best round, both score wise and ball striking and putting, in a while! Shot 79 with a mental breakdown finishing bogey-bogey-bogey on a tough three hole stretch where I go scared of the water blowing up my 70s round and yanked three drivers in a row after pumping it long down the middle all day and then hit two of three approaches scared-yanked away from  water as well. Feeling like I can put some 70s rounds together this season!

      Considering I only played a single round of 9 holes last year and only a handful of rounds of 9 holes in the 6 years before that. Now playing 18 hole on average ever 2 weeks this season. Definitely improved. Not by a drastic amount, but definitely improving. Hitting more pars and bogeys. Driving straighter etc. Practice helps! :D

      And yet, unlike a politician the only one we con are ourselves.😄  Having said that, the stories we tell ourselves are also the most potent, good or bad. So,  for me the answer is always a resounding "Yes!".

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      By GolfLug ·

      I think it is a common fallacy to think handicap number indicates degree of absolute difficulty.  The hole hcp no. simply decides the order of holes where one gets strokes from a player of a lower handicap.  And no, it is not necessarily the ' hardest hole first  The hardest hole could be hard for players of all levels then it would not be no. 1.
