A good friend of mine took up golf about 18months ago and is making reasonable progress. However from day one he has gripped the club with the his hands the wrong way round (left below right in a right handed set up). I tried to get him to change before it became irreversible but he ignored me (as most do and with good reason). The thing is that although he can't hit any kind of wood, he hits his 5 iron upto 240 yards and I'm not exaggerating here. Obviously this doesn't happen every time but he comfortably carries it 210yds.
How can i get him to change when he hits such a huge ball that everyone gasps at? Should I even try?
I know he wants to get to single figures but i think this is really holding him back and keeping him in the mid 20's.
I've only ever known one other person play like this and he got down to 7 and was also a big'ish hitter, but that was all he had.
