As I watch from my window to the outside world, I’m only dreaming of the warm spring days that won’t becoming to New York for at least another three months. You see we were just hit overnight with 4″ of snow on top of the snow we received from the last snow storm. Where I live today it’s a balmy 17 degrees outside. Ouch!
That is why I’m thinking about bad weather conditions in golf. I’m sort of correlating between the two weather conditions of today and what it’s like when you have to play in all kinds of bad weather. Playing in bad weather is a challenge but, when you prepare yourself properly your round of golf doesn’t have to collapse.
All golfers find it difficult to play effectively in inclement weather. Rain, wind and cold will affect your golfing mindset. The way you dress, your golf swing, the flight of the golf ball and the speed and breaks of the greens. No amount of practice or instruction can fully prepare you for bad weather playing. Being prepared for bad weather will make it bearable for you to play when the weather does turn nasty.
Golf Grip Is Very Important Part Of Your Golf Swing Mechanics?

How imporatant is the golf grip related to your golf swing mechanics?
It’s very important to make sure that your grip is holding the golf club properly. Without the proper balance in your hands your golf club can do a number of bad horrific movements in your swing from beginning to the follow through. It can happen without you even realizing it, with the worst being the deadly cardinal sin in golf the SHANK!
You can adjust your grip rotationto make your grip stronger by rotating your upper right hand wrist to the left and if your golf swing mechanics is properly executed it will cut down on the left to right cut or slice. If you have too strong of a grip causing you to pull or hook. You can rotate your wrists on both hands to the right and if the rest of your golf swing is execueted properly it cuts down your pulls or hooks to more of a draw that we all strive for. Rotate to much to the right and now your back to cutting and slicing.
The tension or pressure in your hands should be holding the golf club as light as holding a little birdie in your hands. Don’t CHOKE IT! Hopefully, you don’t hold onto the steering wheel of your car with a death choke but, allow the wheel to have some freedom of movement so that it can work the way it’s designed. It’s the samething for a golf club.
A correct golf grip is an essential golf mechanism leading to a proper golf swing.
