I was watching Brooke Henderson win the CP Women's Open last week, and the announcer at one point commented how Brooke grips down on the club - there was a close up of her grip and sure enough. They said she just feels she has more control that way.
So, I'm not very large in stature, to put it mildly. I'm a little over 5 feet. So, I started thinking, maybe I should do that too. In my many years playing, I've certainly tried gripping down on the club - for punch shots, chips, whatever. And I always feel like I have better control and better contact when I do. I've actually been gripping down 1 wind on my Golf Pride grip for years. So, because of Brook, I figured, I should grip down more. I went to 2 full winds.
I've played 4 rounds since then (I'm retired and I can play lights out) and guess what - I'm hitting better, straighter, and longer on almost every shot. Today, I had a chance for par on most of the holes - better putting is my next challenge, now that I'm actually hitting the ball.
Thanks Brooke. I've been playing SO MUCH better because I watched you.
Plus, you're one of the prettiest ladies out there, if I can still say that.
If I can't, well, you still are.
