Video: Golf lesson 6: The Grip

7 Apr 2009


The Evening Standard recently visited the Knightsbridge Golf School to find out why it is known (amongst golfers) as one of London's best kept secrets.

For the last fifty years the school, hidden away in the basement of a Georgian house just behind Harvey Nichols, has taught players of all abilities (not to mention a long list of celebrities) how to perfect their swing.

Clients of the school past and present include Richard Branson, Sean Connery, Hugh Grant, Gianfranco Zola, Christopher Lee, Ant and Dec and Vernon Kay.

The owners of the school, Steve Gould and David Wilkinson, together with new golf instruction website www.saveamillionshots.com, have agreed to share some of their top swing tips with readers of the Evening Standard.

Each week a new video tip from the school can be found here.

The sixth one, The Grip, is below:
