When playing your best golf, you are no doubt completely relaxed and enjoying yourself, right?!When you start to play poorly, however, it is typically a result of tension in your body, specifically from tight grip pressure. My advice is to keep your grip pressure soft! Try this: during your pre-shot routine, take a deep breath and relax. Then, address the golf ball with soft hands on the club. Waggle the club at address. Then, as you swing, keep your grip pressure light and keep it constantly light, throughout the length of your swing. Do not let your hands tighten up! (A common sign of distress). Remember to “swing with effortless power.” Your tempo is key. Soft hands makes for a great tempo! Enjoy!
