Was lucky to have two pros doing national service so instruction was free as was a new set of Clubs. Have been playing ever since - been down to 9 now 16. Played with cackhanded players who always seem to strike the ball wall. Have been putting cack handed for a while might try it with my other clubs using the the system I bought from you. Am an hynotherapist and thought field therapist and produced a CD for golfers which was receommended by Todays Golf Magazine in June 2007. Have even wrote an ebook, yet to be published one how to prepare and be consistent at golf. Started playing golf at age 19 (now 77) in Egypt on Brownie greens.

Most people say have you tried playing with lefted clubs but yes i have and i was useless the cack handed grip with right handed clubs just feels right to me and i play all other sports this way ( Cricket,Hockey etc) if i change it around the other way to a normal grip i can't even hit the ball. The only problem i have with my cack handed grip is i can't seem to pull the club as far back as i would like to due to the grip so i do lose a little distance. I have came down from a 28 to 14 handicap and will never change. I even love putting this way as this seems to be the best part of my game, the only other draw backs are you can't really read up on how to play properly in magazines as the grip is back to front so most advice is useless, and the other draw back is people always wanting to talk to you about your shall we say funny grip anyway keep it up all you cack handers out there.

I play with a lot of Irish guys who played GAA Hurling. Most of them play 'cack handed' and some are really great golfers..so nothing wrong with it. I enjoy the rules of golf too...Keep up the good work.. Best Regards Tom.B Hi Andy,

When I joined the Navy I gave it up for about 8 yrs. What a mistake that was because there were alot of great courses I could have played when traveling the Pacific. My mistake. I now play in a group here in Texas where golf and having a good time is what it is about. Golf is a good relief from the real world! Thanks for your series and all you do for golf,Andy.

Many hours have beeen spent reading and watching your videos. Hopefully, with all the practice I am now aiming to lower the dreaded h'cap. to 12 or maybe lower this year. A family member has started last year at the age of 7yrs and hits the ball so well, lucky girl. So off to the range with her. She is as keen as I. Such a great sport for all ages. Hi,
