You’ve probably heard the saying “it all begins with the grip”. Unlike many cliches, this one is actually quite true for a successful golf swing.
Your odds of hitting a quality golf shot are minimal without proper preparation. No golfer can make a solid impact without the necessary swing arrangements, including good grip, posture, alignment and ball position.
