Golf Grip Advice

Erin A asked:


My plastic door parts on the inside of my car (such as grip handle, partial arm rest where the window buttons are, etc…) are dirty and scratched up and I’d like to replace them. Does any one know where I can get these parts…or just an entirely new interior door panel (since my upholstery is sagging as well)?
Thanks!

I want to get a set of golf clubs, and I am still learning the game. I went to Golf Galaxy where I live, and they said that I need 2 Inch extenders, Jumbo Grips, and Bent To 5 Degrees. To do all of that, they want to charge 100 dollars, is that a fair price or am I getting screwed. That is just for a set of irons.

Recently I bent the shaft in my center shafted 2 ball Odyssey Putter. It is a 35 shaft and I want to replace the bent steel shaft with a 34 shaft including a new Odessey style grip. What should I expect to pay for this service at a store such as Golf Galaxy?

i started trying my hand at gold about 2 months ago…i got the driver down..am hitting ~8/10 pretty straight..now im trying to get the hang of irons. i end up throwing about 5 pounds of dirt in the air trying to hit an iron. my grip is pretty much the same as when im driving. i’m doing something wrong? or just more practice?

I’m learning how to play golf from my husband, who was very reluctant to teach me by the way. He insists that I use the usual interlocking finger grip but I read that Tiger Woods does not.

It hurts my hands and fingers to use the interlocking grip. Is there more than one way to grip the club? Which do you use? Do you use different methods for different types of shots?

Should I learn from a pro instead and doesn’t every golfer have his own style? I want to be able to play with my husband so I don’t want to upset him now. He finally took me to the driving range, and I can drive that ball up and straight if not very far yet (75 yards only!) But I think my swing looks weird. It feels weird anyway.

Any advice? Wouldn’t you like your wife to play golf? We don’t have to play together all the time, just once in a while. And I’m even planning on having a putting green put in the backyard for him, too.
I love the game. I love to watch more, but it’s a great sport to learn. Believe me, my husband is the one who wants to be with me all the time, and I encourage him to golf as much as he wants–without me! He just doesn’t have the patience to teach. And he thinks he could have been a pro so his standards are high.

I’d be fine if he wanted to golf with only his pals. I could golf with someone else.

As for the putting green, we’ve been researching it a lot and realize the high maintenance involved. There are other alternatives and we’re consulting a professional first!

Thanks for your responses!

A man had a terrible golf problem, so he went for a lesson.

Well, what should I do?, asked the man.

Hold the club gently, the pro replied, just like you’d hold your
wife’s breast.

Taking the advice, he took a swing, and POW!, he hit the ball 250
yards
straight up the fairway. The ecstatic man went back home telling his
wife the good news about his lesson, and, the wife couldn’t wait for
her
lesson.

The next day, the wife went for her lesson. The pro watched her swing
and said, No, no, no, you’re gripping the club way too hard.

What can I do? asked the wife.

Hold the club gently, just like you’d hold your husband’s penis.

The wife listened carefully to the pro’s advice, took a swing, and,
THUMP!– the ball skipped down the fairway about 15 feet.

You know, that was a lot better than I expected, the pro said.
Now,take the club out of your mouth, and, hold it in your hands..
