Golf Advice From Ben Crenshaw

Courtesy of WWW.USGA.ORG No other use is permitted.
had the chance to chat for a few moments with Ben Crenshaw at the driving range. I asked him if there was a bit of golf advice he could give me that I could pass on to my readers, and he said “I’ll give you two.”
“The one thing most amateurs have is a poor grip,” he said. “They just don’t know how to hold a club. Either they were never taught, or they didn’t listen. If you have a decent grip, you have a chance to play a good game.”
“The other thing I see is that they (amateurs) underclub. You don’t want to hit a club that you have to hit perfectly to get a good result. You’ve got to give yourself some room. Most (amateurs) don’t know how far they hit a club anyway.”
He then joked for a few minutes about the imperfect grips of his two driving range companions (one, his caddy).
A very nice guy, and surprisingly small in person. I noted Crenshaw’s size to a colleague in the press room and he said something that made a lot of sense: In years past, golf and tennis attracted guys who were good athletes, but perhaps not big enough for football, basketball and baseball.
