Ity Johnny Fur roil (As Told to Artie McOovern) Baffled golfers constantly ask me: What constitutes a correct grip? My advice is to choose the grip that Is most comfortable. The man ner of holding a golf club depends on tho individuals hand and lin gers. There can be no ironclad rule. Leading professionals use either the natural, overlapping, or Interlocking grlps,vwlth effective results. The essential thing is to eliminate any danger of turning the ciuonead as it contacts with the ball. There fore, your grip must be firm. But neither too tight nor too loose. To test your grip, stop at the top of the swing unci note the position of tho hands and fingers, See wheth er all four fingers of the left hand arc gripping the club securely. If your little finger Is not clasped around the club, your grip Is Incor rect, for you are relaxing your hold ut mo most importune point. ujr hjiiir uun mc nunc B'tK tloned above in this manner you can easily decldo tho one best suited to your own game. j.
