I’ll never forget the first time I attended a county coaching session because the coach made a radical change to my grip. Up until that point I held the golf club like a baseball bat with a 10-finger grip, my hands were not connected via an interlock or overlap.
I’d only ever had group lessons with other juniors on a Saturday morning so my swing technique was just beginner basics. Then all of a sudden a county coach wanted to completely change the way I held the club. The change took me the best part of 12 months of torture to get comfortable with, and a plethora of terrible scores, whilst I was quite literally getting to grips with my new grip.
