Howdy Folks
I have just joined here , I recently returned to playing golf after not playing for 11 years. I quit when I was 18 and at the time I was playing off 11 handicap.
I made a return over a month ago and have been given a handicap of 17 , I decided last week to get some golf lessons to eliminate any bad habits I have as I was pushing my drive alot out right.
The instructor who by all accounts is very good decided to change my grip as he said my right hand was very weak which always helps in hitting a slice or right block,
I went out to the golf course a few days afterwards and shot a 98 (22 over) that being with losing a few balls and losing my concentration near the end plus my golf course is pretty damn tough
I had some moments where i was hitting beautiful draws however the grip felt very weird and not normal to me , I was just wondering in yer experience , how long will it be until it feels natural.
I would hit say i hit my drives anywhere from 230 to 270 yards depending on the roll and how well i hit it , I had my clubhead speed measured at 95mph.
I just dont know could i keep playing with an alien grip like that or is it worth sticking wiht it for a few weeks??
Peace from ireland
