I sometimes think that one of the most difficult things in life is to induce the average golfer to hold the club properly.

For and Against.
It is possible that there is a little too much insistence on orthodoxy in the matter of golfing methods, and that the overlapping grip, to take an example, is not necessarily suit- ed to everybody. It truly does seem to be particularly adapted to people with large and fleshy handa.
Bobby Jones is blessed with this dispensation, and he proclaims over- lapping as unmistakably the best way of holding the club, J. H. Taylor and I are equally favoured. Walter Hagen has a most capacious and chubby handshake, which re- veals him instantly as a player born to utilise the overlapping principle.
Nevertheless, there are instances which suggest that this physical trait is not indispensable to the system. R. H. Wethered has made a considerable success of it, and his hands certainly are not abnormal. Duncan, who once So has George
told me in reply to my inquiry that he takes 8's in gloves. That is not on outsize.
I dare say that a good many people who try overlapping fail at it because their clubs are ill-adapted to the purpose. That is to say, the handles are too thick. Even of the large-handed champlons, the only one I ever knew who used clubs with thick grips was myself.
Size of Handu.
My friend who proteated against the exaltation of overlapping to its present glory as the only correct and classic way of holding the club, asked how many well-known women golfers and it tolerable, let alone helpful. He considered it a good point bearing on the question as to the size of the hands, for men are usually the more generously endow- ed in this matter.

As every student of the game is doubtless aware, this method de- mands that the right thumb shall rest on the left thumb; that the lit- tle finger of the right hand shall repose on the forefinger of the left; and that the remaining fingers shall provide the real grip of the club- almost entirely a light finger-grip.
