Things You'll Need:
- Golf club
-
Step 1
Position the head of your club so that it squarely faces the target.
-
Step 2
Hold the club handle in the left hand if you are right-handed. The club should lie across the bottom of your fingers, just above the palm. The V formed by your thumb and forefinger should point toward your right shoulder. Reverse Steps 2 through 5 if you're left-handed.
-
Step 3
Place your right hand on the club so it lies diagonally across your ring, middle and index fingers, from nearest the palm on the ring finger to the tip of the index finger.
-
Step 4
Cover the thumb of your left hand with the thumb of your right hand.
-
Step 5
Make sure the V on your right hand is parallel to the V on your left hand.
-
Step 6
Lower the club into place for the swing, keeping it in your fingers with just enough pressure to hold the club. Maintain light pressure on the grip throughout the golf swing.
-
Step 7
Don't hold the club in the palms of your hands or you will lose power and control. Your fingers are far more sensitive than your palm, so let them guide your shot.
