As part of my YouTube series “Ten lessons every golfer should know”, the eighth Paddy’s Golf Tip is on the grip and set up, two of the key fundamentals behind playing good golf. I explain the importance of gripping the club in the fingers of the left hand as opposed to the palm and demonstrate how it compares to lifting a heavy weight. I then show how to place the fingers and thumb of the right hand on the club, whilst offering a couple of techniques to check both hand positions. I follow it by explaining the importance of having an athletic and relaxed set-up position, discuss the importance of waggles and movement of the feet at address and explain why floating head position is preferable to locking it down. #PadraigHarrington #golfing #golftips #paddysgolftips #golf #grip #feedback SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONTENT: https://bit.ly/4gKoVme About Padraig Harrington: Born in Dublin, Padraig is a proud family man married to Caroline with two children, Patrick and Ciaran.
