PLAYer Yardage Book: Lesson 2 - Courtesy Courtesy means acting polite toward others. A round of golf typically begins and ends with a handshake. During your round, you should demonstrate courtesy by being quiet and still while others are hitting, standing in the right place, and being ready to hit when it's your turn.   Away from the course, you can show courtesy to others by holding a door for someone, picking up trash without being asked, doing chores for your parents, and saying "please" and "thank you" when appropriate.

PLAYer Fundamentals:  Hold How we hold the club can have a big impact on the quality of our shot.  In general, the grip is not a fundamental because each person has their own grip style and position.  However, there are some principles that work to produce the desired ball flight.

Where you place your hands can affect the direction of the shot. Moving your knuckles and thumb away from the target (pictured middle) tends to cause the ball to move left (for right handers). The opposite is also true: moving your hands toward the target (pictured right) encourages the ball to move to the right.

There are also multiple ways to hold the club. The 10-finger, or "baseball" grip, is generally better for people with small hands, like most participants in The First Tee.   The overlap grip is good for those with large hands, and the interlock grip fits people who want to feel more control of their club.
