    Gives an excellent overview of the fundamentals, including the grip.
    Covers both the overlap and interlocking grips a few minutes in.

    grip is key
    get this right and you'll notice a huge difference very quickly
    follow the steps, stick to it 100%. if you need to regrip before unleashing a shot do so, no matter how many times it takes

    in the early days (think i mentioned this before), I sellotaped my grip together with the club in place for a few sessions at the driving range
    people mocked at the time
    when i had knocked 6 shots off my handicap within one summer people began to take notice however
    and now i frequently see people taking this approach

    I had to do this when I was younger. It took about 3-4 rounds to get used to it but you'll get there eventually. I still grip my putter cack handed though :)

    grip for putting is not too important imo
    its all about the pendulum motion - get that right and you'll be knocking them in like harro

    FYI - you should use the same approach / stroke for putting regardless of whether you are 18 inches or 18 metres from the hole
    Tip for the Day

    Lol

    Sellotaping your grip to a golf club takes some doing with only two hands......maybe Conno has more than two!
