Golf Tips
The Importance of Grips

It is easy to overlook the importance of this aspect of your equipment. Many golfers that want more distance have old, worn out, slippery grips on their clubs -- which almost guarantees that their hands will be too tight. Make sure your grips are either new, clean, tacky or textured in some way. If they're made of rubber and aren't very old you can usually rejuvenate them with warm water and dish soap, abrasive cleanser, or even sand paper.

Having grips that are in good condition will go a long way toward having a relaxed grip and hitting it farther.

They call it the Golfer’s Candy Store, and it doesn’t take long to figure out why.
Within minutes of walking into Fiddler’s Green Golf Center, I had three wonderfully priced golf shirts draped over an arm and was surprisingly, uncharacteristically, picking through racks of shorts, matching colors and styles and ... Oh my gosh, I had become my wife. More...
