Sometimes this was impossible because the camera would start just before the player hits the ball and was already at address. But there was enough times when the camera would start when the player took out the club from the bag and looked at the target behind the ball then walked up the ball. This was very interesting. Of the final few groups on Sunday of the us open. Ernie Els would start behind the ball, then twirl the club with his right hand in a counterclockwise manner AS HE WALKED SIDEWAYS to address the ball then gripped with the left hand at address EVERY SINGLE TIME on sunday. Good observation with Erie Els and gripping the left hand first before placing the cup of the right hand over the left thumb. With that said, I recommend all that read this post to read 10-2-0 on page 138 of the 7th edition to make the connection why Erie puts his left hand on the club first. Or at the very least why it's a good procedure. Nothing better to make the connection through the golfing machine. Good exchange dlam... DG Last edited by Delaware Golf : 07-02-2010 at 10:21 AM.
