Interesting practise tip to control a hook

[rgs]

Read an interesting article on the great Harry Bradshaw, who lost the open because he decided to hit his ball from the remmants of a broken bottle before getting a ruling--i suppose in the 50's rules officials were not freely available.

He apparently had problems with a strong right hand grip leading to him hooking the ball. He practised with a three finger overlapping grip which reduced the influence of the right hand had on the club--I have tried it and it does work. With any tip or exercise it may not work for everyone.

I actually use this for my rescue cluib which I have a tendency to hook. I did find it helped but I do find it strange and almost uncomfortable.

Watch Jim Furyk next time he's on the telly, he overlaps two fingers to keep the left side of the course out of play.

Just weaken your right hand grip ? ;-)
