The Fundamentals Of The Golf Grip

By admin Jul12,2024


The only part of the body that makes contact with the golf club is our hands. Through the grip, we are able to control the direction, distance, and accuracy of the clubface during contact. It is probably the single most important skill any golfer can learn in order to excel at golf. Personally, I use the interlocking grip, but that is not the only option open to players. For an expert explanation of the golf grip, I think it is important to default to Butch Harmon. He definitely lays out the fundamentals in a way we can understand and emulate.

There are three common types of grips. Here is a quick reference guide to help you with your first steps to understanding the golf grip:

Now that you see the basics, it is Butch Harmon’s turn to explain the golf grip so we can all understand:

One of the often overlook aspects of the golf grip is the relationship of the two palms. Ensuring they are parallel, as Harmon recommends, is very important in order to create harmony between each hand. Over the years I have mucked around with the different hand positions. After much frustration I found that a neutral position works best for my game…..go figure!

The fundamentals of the grip is a very important skill to master. Having the proper grip for your game will make a difference in how you play. If you have not already, experiment with each grip on the range, you might find that there is a better way for you to hold your clubs.

I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!
