How do I grip the club?

Think of your fingers as if they are holding a wine glass, many golfers get the palm too involved. On your lead hand the grip should run just across the base of your pinky to about the middle of your pointer finger, this will put the heel of your hand (hook of hamate) on top. More like you’d hold a hammer. Good references are Ben Hogan and Tiger Woods grips

How far do i play the ball in my stance for a drive?

Under the heart from the start because lessons that rhyme stay in your mind

Answered by Dillon Bramhall (verified coach)

Depends on your needs. Start with the ball in front of your lead shoulder. Moving it back slightly for a draw, up slightly for a fade.
