" Hi, this is Ken, and I'm here to talk to you about the basics of beginning golf. Now we talk about the basics of beginning golf, now we talk about the various clubs, the next thing we have to be concerned about is holding on to the club. Now the clubs come with a certain amount of grip on them, and there is a certain correct way to putting your hands on the club.

I then take my right hand I put the finger between the index and the thumb and I make another thumb out. This is the v grip.
