South Carolina is a beautiful place to perfect your golfing skills and have a great time away from home. Prior to taking a golf vacation, it is a good idea to practice your golf game in order to make sure that you play the best game of golf you can and have a wonderful time golfing in SC.

Additionally, golfing at Myrtle Beach is one of the most wonderful ways to get out of your head, home and business. If you just want to escape for a few days and enjoy the ocean and the sport of golf itself, it is a great idea to go to Myrtle Beach to improve your golf skills. It is a good idea to do some research before you go if you are a just learning the sport, so as not to stress.

You should know that the first thing that you will come into contact with is your golf club. Therefore, it seems only logical that you learn how to grip your club. Though it just might seem like a rudimentary step at first, it is vital in creating a backboard to how the remainder of your game is played. Establishing a good grip is the first step to becoming a wonderful golfer. The grip sets the tone for all else to come.

Additionally, you will want to find a grip pressure that allows you to deliver enough force without the club twisting at impact. However, you do not want your hands and forearms to be too tight and stiff. A good way to think of grip pressure is to think of it as though you are holding a bird in your hands and you want to hold tight enough that the bird cannot fly away yet not so tight as to hurt the bird.

Keep in mind that this creates a gentle enough grip so as not to result in stiffness, but it allows for a sense of control at the same time. It is also good to know that if you use your thumb and forefinger, the golf ball will point just to the right of your chin. With this grip, someone standing directly across from you would see only the first two knuckles of your left hand. If your forefinger and little finger meet underneath the club grip, you can choose to overlap these to fingers or you can interlock them if you want.

You should just do whichever grip is more comfortable and gives you the most confidence. As you begin to learn about address and set up, you can spend time just swinging the club back and forth and get used to how the club and the grip feel.
You should also remember to hold the club more toward your fingers than back in the palm of the hand.

Drawing or fading the golf ball begins with your grip. Although drawing or fading your golf shot goes beyond the scope of this article, I want to touch on this as it relates to our discussion on the grip. If you want to grip to draw the ball you will rotate your hands and your grip clockwise. This will produce a three knuckle grip. One of the ways to best improve your game is to perfect your game.

You should know that without an authoritative swing, things will go wrong and you will end up with a shot skulled over the green or one that skips along the grass searching for a hazard.
