Take a Good Look At Your Golf Grips
How long has it been since you took a good look at the grips on your golf clubs? The reason I am asking this question is because many people, and especially beginners at golf, are not aware that their golf grips could be causing them to loose valuable strokes. On average, golfers can be adding 3 to 4 strokes per round to their scores because of worn golf grips!

Go and take a good look at your clubs, putter included. Your grips are the only connection you have with your clubs. If your grips are worn, or even slightly worn, they can cause you to loose slight control and lead to errant shots. And that's what we are trying to eliminate, isn't it? So what should we do? Here is today's tip: Replace or change your golf grips! But how often should this be done?

A good rule of thumb: A golfer who plays daily should replace his/her grips 2 to 3 times a year. A weekend golf, at the minimum, should re-grip once a year.

I played golf with a gentlemen who still had the original grips that came with his clubs. He had bought the set 10 years ago! His grips were hard, smooth, and had shrunk. I suggested to him that he should look into getting new grips on his clubs. I'm not sure if he ever did, but I hope so.

I used to change the golf grips for a Pro golfer on the Florida Mini Tours. He changed his grips every couple of weeks! He is now on the Nationwide Tour and I'm sure he is still having his grips changed on a regular basis.

I have mine re-gripped 2 times a year. It makes a huge difference. I just love the feel of new grips. It is probably the cheapest way to keep your clubs feeling brand new and it can boost your confidence.

So, if it has been awhile since you took a good look at your golf grips, take the first opportunity that you can to look them over. If in doubt, replace them, especially if it has been over a year!
