Do you know the correct way to hold a golf club?<\/strong><\/p>\n Many new golfers give little thought to as to how they actually hold their clubs. After all, how difficult is it and what does it matter what form your grip takes? Well actually, using a proper golf grip is one of the most vital factors in successfully hitting the ball well.<\/p>\n If I tell you that it’s one of the fundamentals of the game that even pros spend a lot of time on, then that should give you some idea of how important it is.
