Golf Swing Series: A Simple Change in Your Grip Can Revolutionise Your Game of Golf

There was a time when I used to hook all of my drives.

Can you identify with this? Do you hook or slice most of your drives? Then you hit a good one and if you could only know what you did right to make such a perfect golf swing, you could get rid of your poor drives for ever.

My swing was OK, and still I hooked. My golf swing is good too I can hear you say, and yet you still hook or slice. Right?

A simple change in my grip was all it took to start hitting long and accurate drives.

I am willing to bet that is all it will take for you to start hitting accurate drives too.

What is this change I am talking about? A simple change to my grip, plus a simple change to my back swing which reinforced the consistency and accuracy I was searching for and my golf swing improved. I hit them straight and long down the middle most times now.

Make it your aim to develop your swing towards perfection and make your golf so enjoyable that you will find yourself counting the days until you have your next game.

Once you have made a minor change to your grip, and know how to divide your back swing into several parts to form a check list when you start to go badly during a round, your golf swing will be so good that you will hit every shot crisply.

When you put, do you hit the ball consistently to the right or left of the hole? I did too, and I could not cure the habit.

If I allowed for the ball to go to the right of the hole as it usually did, by closing my blade slightly, I would for once hit a straight put and it would go to the left of the hole, exactly where the blade of my putter was aiming.

All that is needed is a slight adjustment to your grip, and your problem will be overcome.

Then, your putting will be so good that you will receive very flattering comments. Your friends will secretly envy your skill with the putter. I guess you have felt this friendly envy in the past. I know I have.

Your short game will no longer be a thing of fear and you will no longer experience poor confidence. You will look at the green and say I bet I can get down in 2. And the chances are very strong that you will.
